The Legacy of Dead slot machine is a visually stunning game developed by Play’n GO, set in ancient Egypt during the reign of pharaoh Tutankhamun. The theme revolves around the idea that players will have to uncover lost treasures and unlock secrets within the pyramids.

The game’s setting is immersed in an eerie Egyptian atmosphere, with the background depicting a dimly lit temple. As players navigate through the reels, they are surrounded by stone statues of pharaohs, mummies, and other ancient artifacts. The color palette consists mainly of gold, blue, site red, and green hues, creating an inviting and atmospheric ambiance.

Scatter Icons
There are two special Scatter icons within the game: a single golden Scarab and a pair. The Golden Scarab triggers an Instant Cash payout with its own specific payouts (explained later). Scatters on reels 2, 3, or 4 activate the Free Spins feature in different configurations for players.

In addition to Scatter symbols mentioned above:

Legacy of Dead is built to provide relatively high RTP across different games on offer. At the maximum stake level, it ranges between 95% -96%.
