Legacy of Dead review
Play'n GO's 2020 Egyptian slot starts with a story: a king obsessed with wealth is trapped within the hieroglyphs of the Book of the Dead, and now that the book is open he is free to reclaim his treasure. The play itself is compact. One Tomb symbol acts as both wild and scatter, and the free spins add a randomly chosen expanding symbol. The catalogue rates the game Very high volatility and records five RTP versions, which is the detail that changes the cost most.
A king, a book and a tomb symbol
The reels carry the cast you would expect from an Ancient Egyptian theme, from Anubis to Osiris. The studio does not describe the grid or give a payline count in the text we hold, so we state neither.
The Tomb is the key symbol. It substitutes for other symbols, which helps form winning combinations in the main game, and it also works as the scatter. Landing three or more Tomb scatters unlocks the free spins round.
Free spins and the expanding symbol
At the start of the round a special expanding symbol is chosen at random. When it lands, it covers the reels, which creates more ways to win. The studio says this can reach up to 250,000 coins. That figure is expressed in coins rather than as a multiple of the bet, and our catalogue holds no max win for the game, so treat it as the studio's claim and not a catalogue record.
Tomb scatters can also land during the free spins. The studio says this makes the potential number of free spins unlimited, so the round has no fixed end.
Why the volatility label matters
The catalogue lists Very high volatility. In practice that label means results are spread unevenly: long stretches with small returns and rare larger ones. Combined with a feature that relies on a randomly chosen symbol, the experience is shaped by a few key events more than by steady small wins.
This is a description of what the label implies, not a measurement. Hit frequency is not published for this game.
Five RTP versions and what each costs
The catalogue records five versions: 96.58%, 94.51%, 91.51%, 87.56% and 84.55%. Their house edges are 3.42%, 5.49%, 8.49%, 12.44% and 15.45%. Operators choose which version to run, so the same game can cost very different amounts.
At the top version, $1,000 wagered costs about $34.20 on average. At the lowest it costs about $154.50, more than four times as much. For 100 spins at $1, the average cost is $3.42 on the top version against $15.45 on the lowest, and at $5 a spin ($500 wagered) it is $17.10 against $77.25. At $0.20 a spin the figures are $0.68 and $3.09.
Similar games
Rise of Merlin (96.58%), Firefly Frenzy (96.59%), Contact (96.55%) and The Sword and The Grail (96.53%), all from 2019, carry a Very high rating. Golden Ticket 2 and Troll Hunters 2, both from 2020, list 96.5% with the same rating. Each of them has numbers close to this game, and the real difference between them is in the features.
Pros
- The Tomb works as both wild and scatter
- The free spins add a randomly chosen expanding symbol and can be retriggered without limit
- Top RTP version of 96.58% has a 3.42% house edge
- Free official demo available
Cons
- Very high volatility means uneven results
- Five RTP versions; the lowest has a 15.45% house edge
- No max win in the catalogue; 250,000 coins comes from the studio text
Verdict
Legacy of Dead is a Very high volatility Egyptian slot whose appeal is simple: a wild-and-scatter Tomb and free spins with an expanding symbol and unlimited retriggers. The top RTP is 96.58%, but versions as low as 84.55% exist, and that choice alone can multiply the cost several times. Check which version an operator shows before playing, and try the free demo to see whether the pace of a Very high game suits you.
