Legacy of Dead

You don’t have to be dead to have a fortune at your fingertips. That should be the message that accompanies your average Ancient Egyptian-themed pokie, since so many involve tombs and hidden treasures. It seems apparent that there’s an endless supply of hidden crypts beneath the desert sands of this ancient and mysterious land. Where there are tombs full of treasure, there may be curses, too, so explorers need to have nerves of steel to brave to potential horrors.

Play’n GO, as one of the world’s premier pokies designers, has created a thrilling adventure set in this space of myths and legends in the form of Legacy of Dead. If you are thinking about exploring an Ancient Egyptian-themed pokie (or if this is already your favourite genre), why not take a closer look at this game with Wildz Casino to see if it sounds like one you’re like to explore.

Game Design

As you would expect from an industry luminary like Play’n GO, Legacy of Dead comes loaded with all the elements required for a successful Ancient Egyptian-themed pokie. The soundtrack is traditional and playful, while the background introduces the right ingredients for a winning recipe: an ancient temple, carved stone pillars, reams of hieroglyphics and blazing torches set in deep bowls. You’ll have to look closely to see the pyramids, but they’re there, tucked away in the title text. Legacy of Dead takes place in a 5-reel, 10 payline grid, with a few special features thrown in for good measure. These features come in the form of scatter symbols, free spins, and an optional gamble round to try to increase your winnings.

You’ll encounter the Egyptian icons as symbols, including the Golden Burial Chamber, Pharaoh, Anubis, Tutankhamen, and Isis. The Pharaoh is the most rewarding symbol paying 1, 10, 100, or 500 x your stake for two, three, four, or five across a payline. A shining Golden Burial Chamber symbol is the Wild and Scatter symbol. Similar to the Pharaoh symbol, two, three, four, or five on a payline will reward you with one, 10, 100, or 500 x your total stake. It also stands in for all symbols to create winning combinations as it’s also the Wild and it’s imbued with mysterious powers: secure 3 or more on a single spin and you go into the Free Spins round. The traditional playing card signs A, K, Q, J, and 10 are the lower-paying symbols. Like most traditional slot games, Legacy of Dead’s symbols pay from left to right on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel.

Free Spins

This isn’t a particularly complex pokies game, so the Free Spins round is where the majority of the excitement takes place. You can activate this by landing 3 or more wild/scatters on the reels. Three, four, or five will give you two, 20 or 200 x your total stake as well as 10 free spins. During the Free Spins round, you will be allocated a special symbol at random. This expanding symbol, when it appears during the Free Spin, will expand to cover the entire reel, thereby increasing the chances of a win, so if you were to get five special expanding symbols on a free spin, for example, they will all expand to fill all 5 reels with the same symbol. Be prepared: if you get a high-value symbol as the wins will be phenomenal!

3 Wild Scatters landing on the reels during the Free Spins round re-triggers the Free Spinsround. That means you get 10 more free spins, as well as another special expanding symbol. With all this potential action, you can see why this feature is a firm favourite with players.

Card Gamble

A popular mechanic that’s only seen occasionally in online pokies is that of the Gamble Feature. This feature is strictly an opt-in one, and it’s offered when you secure a winning combincation across the reels. When that happens, the Gamble button becomes active and you have the chance to double your winnings by correctly guessing between a red card or a black card . If you guess correctly you can carry on playing or cash out and return to the main slot game. If you guess incorrectly, you lose that rounds winnings, so there is a risk involved. The Gamble round can be played up to five times in a row and it is entirely up to you whether or not you want to opt in. This feature is not available when auto-spin is activated.

Volatility/RTP

Play’n GO has provided high octane fun in this high volatility POKIE. Players can expect to go several spins with no wins at all, but when the winning combinations do take place, they can be quite lucrative, so the wait can be worthwhile. Bear in mind that lots of patience is required as well as a careful eye on your bankroll. The Return to Player rate of Legacy of Dead is 96.58%%. This means that for every $100 wagered on the game, you can expect to recoup $96,58. Of course, players will win more and less than this. As with all online pokies, Legacy of Dead is a game of chance, there are no skills that can increase the chances of winning.
