Step aside, humdrum slot games! There's a new titan in town, and it goes by the name of Scales of Dead. Coming from the esteemed game developers at Play'n GO, this is their third powerhouse entry in the Dead series this year alone. If you were spellbound by their previous titles like Pilgrim of Dead, get ready to have your socks knocked off!
Symphony of Inspiration
Bridging the gap between the old and the new, Scales of Dead borrows the best elements from its esteemed predecessors—Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead (2016) and the modern classic Legacy of Dead (2020). What you get is a 5x3 slot matrix that promises a jaw-dropping maximum win of x20,000—a first in the Dead series!
Here, you're not just a player; you're an intrepid explorer, navigating treacherous sandstorms in ancient Egypt to discover the hidden treasures of the Golden Snake Tomb. Forget about being a mere spectator; this game makes you part of its enthralling narrative.
Mechanics that Defy the Odds
But what's the catch? How do you win? Watch out for three or more matching symbols like the Royal, Serpent, Fox, Falcon, or the mysterious Amulet. As the in-game sandstorm intensifies, hold your breath, and wait for the appearance of three Tomb Scatter symbols. These will unleash the Original Extra Spins, offering up to eight rounds of enhanced win potential with special symbols and multipliers scattered throughout.
Expanding Symbols are not just any regular game feature; they are the secret sauce that elevates your gameplay. Trigger these by landing enough of the right symbols on the reels. The conditions differ for low-paying and high-paying symbols, but the excitement remains consistent. Once activated, the special symbols dominate the reels, adorned with glittering, gold-encrusted animations.
As if the original extra spins weren’t thrilling enough, Scales of Dead kicks it up a notch with the Sandstorm Extra Spins. Land two or more Scatter symbols during your extra spins, and you're in for a ride. With random multipliers, these Sandstorm Spins are as unpredictable as an actual desert storm, multiplying your wins beyond your wildest dreams.
Head of Game Retention at Play’n GO, George Olekszy said:“The Dead series just earned itself another classic title. This slot almost feels like the greatest hits of some of our most iconic visuals and features. The Gamble feature is reminiscent of some legacy titles like Riches of Ra (2013), but the Expanding Symbols are a welcome callback to The Book of Dead (2016).”
