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

Launched in 2020, this slot machine quickly gained online popularity, among both casinos and players. But why? In this guide, the experts at 8Fortuna have decided to take a serious look at how this slot machine works, to provide you with an answer.

Universe, rules, but also bonuses and RTP, you will find here all the information you need about the Legacy of Dead slot machine… Before maybe feeling the irresistible urge to give it a spin.

What is Legacy of Dead by Play’n Go?

Legacy of Dead is a slot machine launched in 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, set in the “Ancient Egypt” universe, works in a very simple way. Indeed, it consists of 5 vertical columns and a total of 3 horizontal lines. 

Its operation is straightforward, with a limited number of symbols and especially, the possibility of winning up to 5,000 times your bet. This is a particularly high multiplier, which indeed has enough allure to attract quite a few players.

The symbols of Legacy of Dead

On Legacy of Dead by Play’n Go, there are a total of 10 symbols. This is a fairly standard 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 its 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 and J, as well as the number 10. These symbols appear quite often, at least more than the premium symbols. As a result, they are less rewarding.

The bonus on Legacy of Dead

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

You then receive eight free spins, and a specific symbol will be assigned to you completely at random. This symbol is important to keep in mind, because it changes a lot of things: 

• firstly, the combinations are no longer the same,

• the symbols no longer even need to be side by side to form winning combinations,

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

• finally, note that in the case of a bonus game, the symbols no longer appear as such. However, if three of them appear, they allow you to win additional free spins (in fact, the counter resets to eight).

Once your free spins have come to an end, Legacy of Dead offers you two different options. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons that explains the tremendous success of this slot machine. 

You have the option to cash out your generated winnings and return to the “classic” version of the game… Or to take the ultimate gamble. You put your winnings back in 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 wish to take the ultimate gamble?

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

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

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

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

How to play Legacy of Dead?

To play Legacy of Dead, all you need to do is pay for your spin. The game then starts, and everything works almost automatically. That is to say, you activate the wheel, and no matter the result, you will be quickly notified. 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 set, you have nothing else to do, and everything follows. Ideal if you have a strategy and wish to stick to it.

Volatility, RTP, and possible payout

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 euro, with a maximum bet of 2 euros, making it one of the most affordable games in the slot machine market… For maximum total winnings of x 5,000 (10,000 euros at best).
