Play Legacy of Dead

Legacy of Dead is Play'n GO's 2020 spiritual successor to Book of Dead, one of the most successful slots of the last decade and the game that turned Egyptian-themed high-volatility slots into a genre of their own. Set inside an ancient pharaoh's tomb and built around the same expanding symbol mechanic that made Book of Dead a phenomenon, Legacy of Dead delivers a familiar, punchier take on the format with sharper graphics and a slightly more forgiving hit frequency.

Played on a classic 5x3 reel set with 10 paylines, Legacy of Dead offers high-volatility gameplay with a max win of 5,000x your bet per spin. The game is defined by the Burial Chamber symbol, which acts as wild, scatter and top-paying symbol simultaneously, and by the expanding symbol mechanic that triggers during the free spins bonus round. Get all three expanding symbols to hit across every reel and the grid fills top to bottom, producing the biggest wins the game offers.

Legacy of Dead follows the standard 5-reel slot format that Play'n GO built its reputation on. The objective is to land matching symbols left to right along the 10 active paylines to trigger wins, with the Burial Chamber symbol acting as the wild, the scatter and the top-paying symbol all at once.

Click on the Legacy of Dead game tile and you are dropped into the game's signature aesthetic: a golden 5x3 reel set framed inside an ancient Egyptian tomb, with hieroglyphs lining the walls and a low, atmospheric soundtrack running underneath. The game controls sit along the bottom of the grid. Adjust your coin value and coin count per spin to set your total stake between £0.10 and £100 per spin, then hit the spin button to start the reels.

Legacy of Dead uses the classic Play'n GO Egyptian symbol set. The low-paying tier features 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace royals with traditional card art rendered in hieroglyphic style. The premium tier is Egyptian-themed, featuring the god Horus, a pharaoh, the jackal-headed Anubis and the standout King Tut symbol, which is the highest-paying regular symbol on the reels.

The Burial Chamber is the game's only special symbol and does three jobs at once. It acts as the wild, substituting for any regular pay symbol to complete winning paylines. It acts as the scatter, triggering the Free Spins Bonus round when three or more land anywhere on the reels. And it pays the same 50x for 5 of a kind as the King Tut symbol, making it a top-tier paying symbol in its own right.

Payouts are earned for matching two or more identical premium symbols left to right along an active payline, or three or more of any low-paying royal. The table below shows the payouts based on a £1.00 wager:

Legacy of Dead is a compact slot with three distinct bonus mechanics, all revolving around the Burial Chamber scatter. Each has been refined by Play'n GO across the wider Rich Wilde series and executed cleanly here.

Free Spins Bonus 

Land three or more Burial Chamber scatters anywhere on the reels to trigger 10 free spins. Before the round begins, one regular pay symbol is randomly selected to become the round's Expanding Symbol. This is where Legacy of Dead's biggest hits are built.

The Free Spins Bonus can be retriggered by landing three or more additional Burial Chamber scatters during the round. Each retrigger adds another 10 free spins and awards an additional Expanding Symbol pick, meaning long free spins rounds can accumulate multiple expanding symbols all firing simultaneously across the reels.

Expanding Symbols 

Whenever the round's Expanding Symbol lands on a reel during the Free Spins Bonus, it expands vertically to fill the entire reel from top to bottom. Land the Expanding Symbol on three reels during a single spin and it pays out as if you have hit the symbol on every payline that includes those reels, regardless of the position within each reel.

Land the Expanding Symbol on all five reels during a single spin and the entire grid fills with the same symbol, delivering the biggest single wins the game offers. If the Expanding Symbol selected happens to be the King Tut premium (paying 50x for 5 of a kind), a full-grid expansion delivers massive payouts across all 10 paylines simultaneously.

Gamble Feature 

Following any winning spin in the base game, the Gamble Feature can be activated to double or quadruple your winnings on a single-guess playing card mechanic. Click GAMBLE to start the feature.

You are presented with a face-down playing card. Guess red or black correctly to double your win (2x). Guess the specific suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs or spades) correctly to quadruple your win (4x). Guess wrong and the entire win is forfeited. The Gamble Feature can be played up to five times in a row, so a modest £5 win can theoretically be gambled up into a much larger payout if the guesses land correctly.
