Play’n Go is one of the most well-known slot providers on the market. Rightly so, given that its creations are numerous and always very appreciated. One of them, Legacy of Dead, is indeed very widespread.

Launched in 2020, this slot machine quickly sparked interest online, among casinos and players. But why? In this guide, the experts at 8Fortuna have decided to seriously examine how this slot machine works, to provide you with an answer.

Theme, rules, but also bonuses and RTP, you will find here all the information you need to know about the Legacy of Dead slot machine… Before possibly having the urge to give it a spin yourself.

What is Legacy of Dead by Play’n Go?

Legacy of Dead is a slot machine that was launched on the market in 2020 by one of the leading iGaming providers, Play’n Go. In just a few months, this slot found itself on almost every online casino that exists.

This slot machine, based on the “Ancient Egypt” theme, operates in a very simple way. Indeed, it consists of 5 vertical columns, and in total, 3 horizontal rows. 

Its operation is very simple, with a limited number of symbols and above all, the possibility of winning up to 5,000 times your stake. This is a particularly high multiplier, which indeed has what it takes to attract quite a few players.

The symbols of Legacy of Dead

In Legacy of Dead by Play’n Go, there are a total of 10 symbols. This is a fairly classic number for slot machines. And as always, these symbols are divided into two main groups.

On one side, there are the premium symbols. They are represented by images reminiscent of ancient Egypt and the gods. Among these 5 premium symbols, there is also a Wild symbol, represented by a pharaoh’s tomb.

There are also five classic symbols. They are represented by the letters A - K - Q - J and the number 10. These are symbols that appear quite often, at least more than the premium symbols. As a result, they are also less rewarding.

The bonus on Legacy of Dead

It is possible to enjoy a bonus on Legacy of Dead. For this, you just need to see at least three Wild symbols appear (represented, let’s remember, by a pharaoh’s tomb).

You then get eight free spins, and a specific symbol will be randomly assigned to you. You will need to keep this symbol in mind, as it will change quite a few things:

• firstly, the combinations are no longer the same,

• the symbols are no longer required to be adjacent to form winning combinations,

• once your assigned symbol appears, it can expand across the entire column and thus connect with other similar symbols to generate combinations, multipliers, and thus more winnings,

• finally, note that in the bonus round, the symbols no longer appear as usual. However, if three of them appear, they grant you additional free spins (in fact, the counter resets to eight).

Once your free spins are over, Legacy of Dead offers you two different options. This is perhaps, in our opinion, one of the reasons explaining the tremendous success of this slot machine. 

You have the option to cash in your generated winnings and go back to the “classic” version of the game… Or to go all-in. You put your winnings back into play for a final bet and can either lose everything or win between 2 and 4 times your initial bet.

The ultimate bonus game of Legacy of Dead

Do you want to go all-in?

By deciding to proceed, you then unlock two mini-games:

• A card is presented to you face down. You then have the choice between two colours. Choose the one you want. The card then flips over. If the chosen colour is correct, you win and can repeat the game until you reach the highest multiplier (x 5,000).

• The second mini-game is almost similar, but instead of choosing the colour, you have to choose a symbol.

Naturally, in case of an error, you lose everything!

How to play Legacy of Dead?

To play Legacy of Dead, just pay for your spin. The game then starts, and everything operates almost automatically. That is to say, you activate the wheel and regardless of the result, you will be notified quickly. The bonus game will also activate on its own if you unlock it. Legacy of Dead also features an “Auto-Play” function. Once the spin amount is decided, you have nothing more to do, and everything continues. It's ideal if you have a strategy and want to stick to it.

Volatility, RTP and possible payouts

The RTP of Legacy of Dead is quite low, at 94.5%. This might be the only criticism one could make of this Play’n Go creation. On the other hand, the minimum bet is €0.01, with a maximum bet of €2, making it one of the most affordable games on the slot machine market… For a total maximum win of x 5,000 (€10,000 at best).
