Secret of Dead

Secret of Dead Review

You can never have too many “book of” slots, but only if they can offer something different in one way or the other. Set inside a gold-filled tomb, Secret of Dead from Play’n GO keeps the original Egyptian theme, but adopts a slightly different layout complete with unexpected visuals. Instead of the usual 5-reel setup, you now have a 6-reel slot with 10 paylines, just like its older sibling, Scroll of Dead. More than that, the iconic book image has been swapped for an Ankh icon, while Shai now acts as the highest paying symbol. Are you prepared to return to the temples of Ancient Egypt? Read our slot review below for more mysterious details.

Secret of Dead Bonus Features

In a true “book of” fashion, Secret of Dead comes equipped with a set of familiar bonus features. The free spins bonus round runs as per usual, but be prepared for a little twist when it comes to the expanding symbols. A gamble feature is also an option if you’re ready to boost your wins or lose it all. Let’s look at slot features more closely.

Wilds

In Secret of Dead, Ankhs have a dual purpose. As wilds, they can substitute for all regular symbols to improve a winning combination. If you catch 3 or more Ankhs on the same spin, they’ll act as scatters and trigger the free spins bonus round. Additionally wild scatters pay 1x, 10x, 50x and 250x your stake for 3, 4, 5 and 6 Ankhs respectively.

Free Spins

When you spin 3, 4, 5 or 6 Ankhs in view, you’ll receive 8, 10, 12 or 15 free spins and one special expanding symbol which will be randomly selected before the round starts. If the special symbol lands as part of a winning combination, it will expand to cover all positions on the reel. More excitingly, whenever you retrigger free spins, you’ll get an additional expanding symbol, up to a maximum of 9. Watch out for the Shai icon being chosen – it pays double when expanded!

Secret of Dead Jackpot

The top jackpot for unravelling the Secrets of Dead is set at 10,000x your stake, which is double the usual max payout in these types of slots.

RTP and Volatility

The slot is pretty volatile according to the developer, but what you’ll want to look out for is the varying RTP levels ranging between 96.20% and 84.20%.
