History and Evolution

Legacy of Dead was created by innovative casino game developer Play’n GO and released in January 2020. It forms part of their series of explorer-themed slots starring fictional adventurer Rich Wilde. The original Rich Wilde slot launched in 2015 and proved hugely popular, leading to additional games like Book of Dead, Pearl of the Caribbean and Aztec Temple Treasures.

Legacy of Dead is Play’n GO’s latest Egyptian-themed release, building on past games like Book of Dead and Reactoonz. It uses modern graphics and gameplay features to recreate the excitement of raiding long-lost tombs in search of gold and jewels. With its Indiana Jones-esque explorer concept, cascading wins and expanding special symbols, Legacy of Dead puts a fresh new spin on Egyptian slots.

Gameplay Mechanics

Legacy of Dead follows standard video slot conventions with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. The minimum bet is 10p per spin, up to a maximum of £100. To play, simply set your preferred stake and click spin. Any winning symbol combinations of 3, 4 or 5 matching icons on adjacent reels from left to right will award a payout. There are 10 regular symbols plus special expanding symbols which can trigger more wins. The gameplay features cascading wins – when you hit a winning combo, those elements disappear and new ones cascade down to replace them. This gives you a chance to hit consecutive wins from a single spin. The round continues until no more new wins are created. Free spins are activated by landing 3 or more scatters anywhere on the reels. You’ll receive 10 free spins during which all picture symbols can expand to cover entire reels. More free spins can be retriggered by hitting additional scatters.
