Return of the Dead Slot

Are you ready to search for the lost treasure of the Pharaohs on Pragmatic Play’s latest slot, Return of the Dead?  This is a high variance slot with and RTP set at 96.71% and bets starting from 10p up to £250 a spin. The maximum amount to be won is 1000x your wager, so theoretically, £250,000 is up for grabs.

 

Return of the Dead Design

 

Once again, we have another Egyptian themed slot and Return of the Dead has a slightly more basic, old school feel to it. The treasure hunter character looks more like a suave salesman than an intrepid explorer and everything feels a bit ‘back to basics’ with both the design and gameplay.

 

The reels are on a 5 x 3 grid with 10 paylines and symbols include the 10 to A royals as the lower paying symbols. Higher value characters are the bird God Ra, a scarab beetle, the Pharaoh and the treasure hunter himself. The treasure hunter is the highest paying symbol, awarding 1x, 10x, 100x or 500x your wager for landing 2, 3, 4 or 5 on a payline respectively.

 

The return of the Dead book symbol is the wild and substitutes all other symbols and 5 on a payline also pays out 500x your wager.

 

Gameplay and Features

 

There’s not a huge number of features here and action centres on the free spins bonus. Land 3, 4 or 5 Book symbols to trigger the free spins. You’ll receive 10 free spins as well as scatter worth either 2x, 20x or 200x your wager.

 

When the free spins begin, 1 symbol is selected to expand. After each spin, that symbol expands to fill the reels and hopefully form more winning combinations. If the highest paying symbol becomes the expanding scatter, you’ll get an impressive 5,000x your wager.

 

Verdict

 

There are better Egyptian themed games out there and the basic design might not appeal to everyone. However, the RTP is above average and the free spins and scatters can really bump up the winnings.
