Book of Dead
Play'n GO
The tomb pays along lines as a wild as well as a scatter, and in our play the trigger spins carried real weight, 775 coins in one case. The 8-spin rounds were short, though, ending on 1,050 and 900 coins at £1, one gap between bonuses ran close to 400 spins, and the demo prints no RTP.
Our second trip into the tomb picked the 10 again, and this time it delivered. Two spins in, tens grew over four of the five reels with one ordinary column left between them, and the counter raced past 1,100 coins at a £1 bet. We played the free Legacy of Dead demo above for roughly 530 spins, opened the bonus three times, and most of what follows comes from those three bonuses plus the in-game help screens.

The base game moves along briskly. With the reels landing left to right, most spins took around three seconds. The big panel counts in coins rather than pounds, so a 50-coin bet is £1, and the cash amounts appear only in a narrow strip beneath the controls. Land a win, and the bet buttons make way for Gamble and Collect.
This build doesn’t print a return-to-player percentage. We looked through the three paytable pages and the full game help without finding one, and Play’n GO’s page for the slot leaves it out as well. The Legacy of Dead page at 888 Casino does too. Check the game info at whichever site you use before you stake real money.
Paytable page one caps wins at 250,000 coins. Against the default 50-coin bet, that works out at 5,000x, so £5,000 if you play at £1. You won’t find a volatility rating in the game or on the provider’s site.
It’s a five-reel, three-row slot with ten paylines. Out of the box, the bet is £1, with a 2p coin on all ten lines. Cut it to one coin on one line at 1p, and you’re spinning for a penny, while a £2 coin with every setting maxed out takes it to £100. A British player can’t stake more than £5 on a single online slot spin, and anyone aged 18 to 24 is held to £2, so most of that upper range isn’t available here. Play’n GO gives the launch date as 2 January 2020.
Every line pay on the paytable is a multiple of the line bet, and that’s 10p when you play at £1. We’ve converted each one into a multiple of the full stake alongside the cash it returns. You’ll see the tomb listed twice. It has its own line pays as the wild, plus separate scatter pays that count from anywhere in view and multiply your whole stake.

Only the five picture symbols, including the wild, pay for two of a kind. Letters and 10s need three. The game never names its symbols, so we’ve given them names ourselves.
Get three or more tombs anywhere, and you’re given 8 free spins at the bet that set them off. A parchment scroll unrolls to show which symbol has been drawn at random to expand, then sits there until you press spin. Once the round is underway, a band above the reels holds all nine regular symbols in grey, with the chosen one picked out in colour, next to the count of spins left.

Land enough of the chosen symbol and each one stretches to cover its whole reel. Those reels then pay across all ten lines, even with other reels sitting between them, counting left to right from whichever reel can start a win. If three tombs land again mid-round, you get another 8 spins plus a second expanding symbol, and the paytable says retriggers can switch on as many as nine. None of our three rounds retriggered.
Round one drew the 10, the lowest pay on the board. By free spin 5, the tens had spread over three reels and the counter stood at 450 coins. It closed on 1,050 coins, which is £21 at our £1 stake and includes the 150 coins the triggering spin paid.
The 10 turned up again in round two and did far more. After the four-reel spread on free spin 2, it filled reels two to five on free spin 7, and the counter read 2,250 coins on the eighth and last spin. Our session ended there, before the closing scroll, so we never saw the official total.

Round three went the other way. The triggering spin was worth 775 coins; four jacks on the opening free spin added 100, and the Q never grew to fill a reel. The scroll gave a Total Win of 900 coins, shown as £18 in the cash strip.

After that, the game offered to gamble the whole bonus.
Play’n GO has built several slots around ancient Egyptian tombs, and three of them draw their own searches. From our own Book of Dead play and Play’n GO’s game pages, here’s how each one differs.
Going through our partners’ lobbies, we found only 888 Casino and Gala Bingo showing Legacy of Dead on a rail of popular slots. Book of Dead turned up at twice as many.
888 Casino still had the game on its slots page when we looked again, with its own game page linked from there. Our 888 Casino review goes through everything else the site offers, and because that game page doesn’t state an RTP, open the help inside the game before you play.
