What’s the Deal?
Search for the ancient and mysterious scroll in Scroll of Dead slot and, if you are lucky, you could scoop wins of up to 7,500x your bet.
It’s also the sequel to Amulet of Dead and the another game from Play’n GO’s ‘Dead’ series. But this time there’s an unlockable sixth reel that can bring you the hidden wealth of the Pharaohs!
Ancient Egypt is calling Wombat Fans. I have just come off the Feline Fury slot from Play’n GO which is a real left-field affair, so I’m about ready for some Egyptian gold hunting.
Graphics and Theme
The design here is nice. Set inside a luxurious gold tomb, the reels are flanked by pillars that are made of gold and stone, complete with flaming torches at the very top to give light to this mysterious place.
The soundtrack is in keeping with previous slots in the series; a traditional lyre-inspired Egyptian ditty. We like a good theme, and this one is warmer than the Thunderstruck Wild Lightning slot from Stormcraft Studios, that’s for sure.
Slot Pay Table
Your reel symbols are made up of the 10, J, Q, K & A from the deck of cards as the low value symbols, plus well as Ankhs, Horus, King Cobras and Cleopatra. Queen Cleo symbol is the highest paying icon in play, and she will pay out 500x your bet if you manage to land 5 in a payline.
The scatter icon is represented by the Golden Scarab,and this will act as the Wild symbol too, substituting for all other icons on the reels to make more winning symbols for you.
Scroll of Dead Slot Game Play
Scroll of Dead slot is a highly volatile game with 5 reel, 3 rows and 10 pay-lines. If you prefer more lines then we’d recommend the Barbarian Fury slot from Nolimit City. All of you who like a high variance game: read on.
Bets range from 0.10 to 100.00 per spin. As a nice little extra, you only need to match x2 of the higher value symbols on a payline to get a win. Nice one Play’n GO!
Bonus Features
Free Spins
Land 3x or of the Golden Scarab scatters and you’ll set off the Scroll of Dead Free Spins bonus round. Next, two things will happen; first the 6th reel will be unlocked and become active for the duration of Free Spins – giving you potentially more ways to win.
Secondly, an icon from the pay table will be randomly selected to be the special expanding symbol (you’ve seen this mechanic before in all the previous ‘Dead’ slots).
The chosen symbol will now form winning combos across non-adjacent reels.
Best of all, you’ll be given 8 Free Spins. Good luck!
Gamble Feature
This game also comes with a Gamble feature . Here you will have the chance to double or quadruple your win on any base game spin by correctly guessing the colour or suit of a turned-over card.
The Gamble round can be played up to five times in a row.
Be careful here Wombat fans – as one wrong guess, and you’ll lose the lot!
The gamble feature is not available in all jurisdictions.
Conclusion
If you’re a fan of Play’n GO’s ‘Dead’ series, then the Scroll Of Dead slot is a must play. The sixth reel mechanic is a cracking new feature and the high variance game play will be familiar.
For the rest of you, there are 2 bonus features. So what’s not to like?
And who knows? Maybe you’ll uncover ancient riches!
Wombat score: It’s a 5 out of 5 of course!
