Legacy of Dead by Play’n GO

A-nu-bis day would come – a slot sequel you can write home to your mummy about! Rich Wilde is back, and this adventure is more exciting than ever. If you’ve been put off of Egypt-themed slots, this one will help you get back on the Horus!

Players familiar with the lavish world of the Rich Wilde series from Play’nGO will instantly recognise the style and symbols used in this instalment in the series. Deep within the torch-lit depths of an ancient Egyptian tomb, surrounded by mysterious music, you and Rich Wilde are seeking out the treasure of the Pharaohs. Play’nGO’s team has paid a lot of attention to minor details in the game’s design, right down to the tiny, twinkling sparks rising from the torch flames in the game’s background. The richness of design makes for a fully immersive, attractive game that’s sure to please your eye.

Legacy of Dead is the latest offering from Play’nGO from their Rich Wilde range; the theme is similar to Book of Dead in that we’re back in Ancient Egypt, but this time the stakes are even deadlier!

 Symbols

Play’nGO have dug deep into their history books for these symbols and created some beautiful images of Tutankhamen, Anubis, Horus, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, and a truly dazzling burial chamber icon. Tutankhamen is the one to look out for, as a payline of five will give you a mummifying 5000x! Anubis dogs King Tut’s heels with a respectable 1600x your stake for 5; this good boy is followed by the gold cast Pharoah, and then the man, the bird, the legend himself: Horus. These two have a maximum win of 600x. A and K follow this dynamic duo, and offer a respectable maximum of 120x, and finally Q, J, and 10, have a maximum win of 80x.

The burial chamber icon is a gold headstone with scarab and inlaid turquoise gems; it is impressive enough to act as both the wild and the scatter! It can be substituted for absolutely any other symbol, and all bonus features are activated by its presence; soon you’ll be dying to see it land!

Features

Legacy of Dead isn’t one for throwing a lot of complicated features at a player – they stick to what they know and they’re very good at it. We’re talking free spins, baby! This feature is triggered by landing three or more burial icons across the reels; once activated, a scroll unrolls on your screen and a symbol is chosen at random. During your 8 free spins, if you land two or more of the chosen symbols across two different reels, it will expand across the reels and grant you an immediate jackpot! Landing three or more scatters in a free spin will re-trigger the free spins feature and give you an additional extended symbol! A handy icon bar of all the symbols rests above the reels with each one greyed out except for your designated symbol. The feature ends when the last freebie has spun, and not a moment sooner!

The burial icon symbol not only acts as wild and scatter but is also a feature in and of itself: landing two or more of these beauties can pay out up to 500x your stake.

The final skull on the burial tomb is a cheeky gamble feature that can be activated after every win in the base game by clicking gamble rather than collect at the end of the spin. The idea is simple: you have the option to double your winnings by guessing black or red for the face-down card, or you can try to guess the card suit to quadruple your winnings. This feature can be played five times in a row, but you’d have to be extraordinarily lucky to win all five gambles, so consider sticking to one or two.

This video slot is widely available online but can be reliably found at 888 Casino, Leo Vegas, and Bit Starz.

Legacy of Dead is available to play on mobile, desktop, or laptop. It is supported on iOS, Windows, Linux, and Android. Recommended browsers include Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.

With its moderate volatility and a pretty decent RTP of 96.58%, this game begs a little more risk for a lot more reward. Take the time to familiarise yourself with the game’s variables so that you can find the sweet spot between risk and reward. We also recommend setting a time or budget limit for this and any other gameplay session.

This online video slot truly holds up the… ahem… legacy of the Rich Wilde series. A great game design, sophisticated development, and a lively playing experience mean that this game is a definite must-play on our list.
