Legacy of Dead

Similar Slot Demos

Quick verdict

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 Free Demo Session

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.

Legacy of Dead free spin 2 of 8 with expanded 10s on reels one, two, three and five and the win counter at 1173 coins
Round two, free spin 2 of 8. Tens fill reels one, two, three and five, reel four keeps the winged emblem, a K and a Q, and the counter shows 1,173 coins on its way up.

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.

Legacy of Dead RTP, Max Win and Stakes

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.

Legacy of Dead Payout Table

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.

Paytable screen two. The tomb is labelled Wild and pays 5000 for five on a line, the same as the pharaoh holding the staff.

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.

Free Spins and Expanding Symbols

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.

This scroll opened our last round. The Q is the special expanding symbol, 8 free spins are awarded, and the counter already holds 775 coins from the trigger.

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.

Later in round two, at free spin 7 of 8. Expanded tens run from reel two to reel five, all ten lines are drawn, and 1,824 coins are on the counter.

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.

Legacy of Dead vs Book of Dead and Other Dead Slots

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.

  • Book of Dead (2016) shares the same five-by-three grid with ten lines. Its tombs award 10 free spins instead of 8, a retrigger adds 10 more but keeps the single expanding symbol, and Rich Wilde is the top picture. Its paytable lists the tomb only as a scatter, without the line pays it has here.
  • Rise of Dead (August 2019) makes a scroll the scatter and a jewelled scarab the wild. Free spins start at 10, with 2, 4, or 10 extra for one, two, or three more scrolls; scarab wilds drop in stacks of six or seven; and pharaohs expand. The base game adds Mega Stacks of 12 matching symbols and Gift of Gods, which holds reels 1, 3 and 5 on the same symbol.
  • Myth of Dead (February 2025) centres on a Coronation Path. Each wild collected moves you along it, checkpoints hand out extra free spins and Instant Prize multipliers of up to 5x, and every free spins round opens with one of four random boosters.

Where to Play Slots in the UK

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.
