Kingdom of The Dead review
Most of the design weight in Kingdom of The Dead falls on a single symbol. The Book is a wild and a scatter at once, and it decides both how the base game pays and how the bonus begins. Pragmatic Play places it on a plain 5x3 grid with 10 lines, then lets you choose between two free spins modes that differ in how the special symbol behaves. Neither a max win nor a volatility label is published for it.
Ten lines, ten symbols
The slot pays on 10 lines from left to right, across five reels and three rows. The rules count ten symbols in total: nine regular ones and the Book. According to the studio, the regular set includes scarabs, the underworld deity Anubis and pharaohs.
There are no cascades, respins or expanding reels in the base game, and no bonus buy. The catalogue does list an ante bet. The rules we hold mark it as available but do not describe what it costs or changes, so we leave it at that.
The Book: wild and scatter in one
The Book can appear on all reels, but the game selects a reel set at random each spin, and two of the reels in that set carry no Book at all. As a wild it substitutes for regular symbols, and as a scatter it pays in its own right. The two roles have separate paytables.
Landing three or more Books triggers the free game with 10 free spins.
Two ways to play the bonus
The studio says players can choose between two free spin rounds. The choice is made when the round starts, and it concerns the mystery symbol, the special icon that can expand during the spins.
Fixed mystery symbol
The special symbol is selected once and stays the same for the entire free game. The icon to watch is therefore known from the first spin and does not change.
Changing mystery symbol
The alternate round awards a different icon as the special expanding symbol on every spin. The description in the rules we hold is cut off after the opening line, so we cannot say more about how the icon is chosen.
What the numbers say
There is one RTP on record: 96.07%, a house edge of 3.93%. On average that means $39.30 lost per $1,000 wagered. Over 100 spins, a $0.20 bet costs $0.79, a $1 bet costs $3.93 and a $5 bet costs $19.65, which is $500 staked in all.
No max win or volatility rating is listed for this slot, so we cannot translate its top prize into money at a given bet. That is the main gap in the data.
Where it sits among 96.07% games
Pragmatic Play lists several 2023 titles with the same RTP. Fire Archer has a 4,000x cap, Big Bass Amazon Xtreme and Country Farming 10,000x, Zeus vs Hades - Gods of War 15,000x and Fat Panda 20,000x. Secret City Gold is a little lower at 96.06% with 10,000x. Each of them has a published cap, which this game lacks in our data.
Pros
- One Book symbol works as both wild and scatter
- Choice between a fixed and a changing special symbol in the free spins
- Simple 10-line layout that is easy to follow
- Free official demo available
Cons
- No max win or volatility label in our catalogue
- Details of the ante bet and the changing mode are not in the rules we hold
- Three Books are needed for the bonus, and two reels carry no Book on any given spin
Verdict
Kingdom of The Dead keeps its base game plain and puts the interest into the Book and the choice of free spins mode. Its 96.07% RTP and 3.93% house edge are clear, but volatility and top prize are not published, so judge the swings in the free demo before staking anything. It is paid entertainment with a house edge on every spin.
