Free slot: Scroll of Dead

How Scroll of Dead works

Scroll of Dead is a slot machine developed and published by the online game provider Play'n GO. This fairly new slot has been available at most online casinos since May 2021. This online game is once again based on the theme of Ancient Egypt, a world that is more than present in the world of online gambling but still very popular with slot enthusiasts. This creation offers a classic 5x3 format, with 5 reels of 3 symbols. The principle of Scroll of Dead is very similar to the flagship creations Book of Dead and Legacy of Dead. The objective is to make connections of identical symbols on the paylines provided for this purpose. A sixth column is present in this slot, which is locked in the base game and unlocks during free spins, increasing the potential of Scroll of Dead.

The only downside to this slot is that Scroll of Dead does not contain any original base game features. However, there is a special symbol, represented by a golden beetle. This serves as a wild, which means that it substitutes for any symbol and makes it easy to connect. If you manage to connect 3, 4, 5 or 6 wilds, you will win 2, 20, 200 or 500 times your starting bet respectively.

Scroll of Dead symbols

Scroll of Dead contains, in addition to the wild, 9 symbols that you must connect to win. The value of the symbols varies according to their rarity. There are two categories of symbols in this slot: classic symbols and premium symbols.

The former are so called because they are present on a large number of slot machines. They are the least profitable symbols, but they appear more regularly. They are represented by the highest values in a pack of cards, namely the 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace.

Premium symbols are much harder to connect, but pay much more than classic symbols. They are represented by symbols or characters reminiscent of Egyptian culture, including:

• The Ankh Cross;

• Horus, the mystical eagle;

• The cobra;

• The Egyptian queen.

Scroll of Dead's different connections

Like many slot machines, the main objective of Scroll of Dead is to make connections of 3 to 5 identical symbols. In order for a connection to pay off, it must occur on the predefined paylines. The Scroll of Dead has a total of 10 connection lines which read exclusively from left to right. You can find them in the following image and only the maximum payout per line is paid.

A special feature of Scroll of Dead is that an additional reel appears during the bonus. This new column will increase the potential of this slot and allow for even bigger wins. The following image shows the paylines offered during the free spins of this slot.

How the Scroll of Dead Bonus Works

Scroll of Dead offers its users the opportunity to access a bonus feature in which free spins are awarded. These free spins are earned by seeing at least 3 scatter symbols appear on the same game spin, which also serve as wilds. This slot offers you 8 free spins and you have the possibility to increase this number without limit if during the bonus you see 3 scatters appear simultaneously again.

As explained above, the last column on the right will be unlocked, making a total of 6 reels. The Scroll of Dead bonus will randomly assign you a symbol that will be your reference symbol throughout the bonus (for example the King in the example below). This symbol will be expandable, meaning that it will expand across the entire reel when 3 reference symbols (2 for premiums) appear, regardless of their location on the grid.

On Scroll of Dead, you have the possibility to gamble, that is to say to bet every win on this slot. You can try to double your winnings by betting on the suit of a card, and potentially multiply your winnings by 2 or 4, while taking the risk of losing everything.

Our review of Scroll of Dead

Scroll of Dead is a slot machine that is not very original in the gambling world. Indeed, the provider Play'n GO has built on the success of Book of Dead, the most played slot in the world, and has created a slot that is almost identical. The main difference is the presence of a sixth reel on Scroll of Dead that unlocks once the free spins are reached.

This slot has a payout ratio (RTP) of around 96.28% and has a maximum multiplier of up to 7,500 times your original bet.
