Play'n GO publishes this as the game's default RTP. Studios ship several RTP builds of most titles and whoever serves the game picks the version, so
we cannot promise this demo or any casino lobby runs this build. Read the RTP in the game's info panel
wherever you play for real.
Play'n GO's own game data sheet publishes five builds of this game, 96.58%, 94.51%, 91.51%, 87.56% and 84.55%, marks 96.58% the default, and casinos choose which build they run.
Legacy of Dead is Play’n GO’s own answer to Book of Dead: the same 10-line, high-volatility “expanding symbol” formula, minus Rich Wilde, plus one meaningful upgrade - every free-spins retrigger adds another expanding symbol. If you know the book formula, this is the version where retriggers actually change the game instead of just extending it. The demo is the cheapest way to feel that difference.
How the game works
A 5x3 grid with 10 paylines, Egyptian gods on the reels, and the golden altar pulling double duty as wild and scatter - the book design that makes these slots swing so hard - while Tutankhamen is the top-paying symbol. Base-game wins are modest by design; the game exists for its bonus.
There is a gamble feature after any win (card color or suit, double or quadruple). It is a pure coin flip - fine in demo, expensive as a habit.
Free spins: where the stacking happens
Three or more altar scatters award 10 free spins, and before they start, one regular symbol is randomly chosen as the special expanding symbol: after normal wins are paid, it expands to cover its reels and pays on all lines, positions be damned.
The upgrade over Book of Dead: each retrigger adds 10 more spins AND selects an additional expanding symbol. Deep retrigger runs can have three, four, or more symbols expanding at once, which is where the 5,000x cap lives. The flip side is unchanged: draw a low-pay expanding symbol with no retriggers, and the round pays next to nothing. Run fifty demo bonuses and watch how rarely the stacking actually happens - that is the volatility education this game offers.
If you want the original for comparison, our Book of Dead demo and guide covers the Rich Wilde version.
RTP honesty check
The default build returns 96.58%, slightly above Book of Dead’s 96.21% - one of the quiet reasons some players prefer it. But Play’n GO’s own game data sheet also lists reduced builds at 94.51%, 91.51%, 87.56% and 84.55% for operators to choose from, and the difference compounds on a game this swingy. Check the info panel at your casino first; our RTP guide walks through it.
The bottom line
Legacy of Dead is the book slot for people who found Book of Dead one retrigger short of exciting: same skeleton, higher default RTP, and retriggers that stack expanding symbols into genuinely huge potential. It remains brutally high-variance. Learn its rhythm here free, verify the RTP where you play, and never bet like the stacked bonus is coming - it usually isn’t.
When you are ready for real bets, pick the casino by its payout record, not its bonus size - our honest casino reviews rank sites on exactly that.
