Ghost of Dead Slot Review

Ghost of Dead Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Ghost of Dead slot comes with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines. Like with most 10 payline games, 3 or more matching symbols across any of the paylines, from left to right and starting from reel 1, will result in a winning outcome. The 4 higher value symbols and the wild will give you a win with just 2 symbols.

It caters to all pockets as the stakes range from 10p to £100 per spin. To change your bet level, click on the plus and minus buttons below the reels where you’ll be able to adjust to coin value and the number of coins. Click on the lightning bolt symbol at the bottom of the screen to enable Turbo Mode for faster spins. There’s also an Auto Play function.

The Ghost of Dead RTP is 96.21% which is just over the 96% norm. As you’d expect from a Play ‘n GO slot with this theme, it’s highly volatile and rated at 9/10. The maximum win is 5,000 x your total stake per spin which will happen every 2.3 millions on average.

Theme – Audio & Design Features – reveal the pharaoh’s hidden treasure

With an ancient Egyptian theme, the Ghost of Dead slot follows a similar pattern to previously released Play ‘n GO slots like Book of Dead. The story here is Pharaoh Una has been resurrected and is looking for worthy mortals to reveal his hidden treasure.

Set amongst ancient tombs, it’s all very dark and atmospheric. Symbols on the reels include 5 royals (A, K, Q, J and 10). You will also come across 4 higher value symbols which include Ankh crosses, cobras, scarab beetles and Pharaoh masks. The Pharaoh mask is the highest paying symbol with 2, 3, 4 or 5 on a payline giving you 1, 10, 100 or 1,000 x your total stake.

The Anubis Canopus symbol is both the scatter and the wild. Substituting for any other symbol to form a winning combination, it pays 1, 10, 100 or 1,000 x stake for 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination. It also pays scatter style meaning it can appear on any position on any reel (not across a payline). The scatter/wild will also trigger bonus features.

Produced with HTML5 technology, Ghost of Dead is available to play on mobile, tablet and desktop devices. Being a 5×3 slot layout wise, it works well on smaller handheld devices making it perfect to play on the go. For the best visual experience, a larger screen is obviously recommended.

Ghost of Dead Bonus Features

Ghost of Dead has 3 bonus features. They all give you a free spin or free spins with a special expanding symbol basically. In the Awakened Free Spins feature, you simply get a 2^nd special expanding symbol on each free spin.

Ghost Spin feature

The Ghost Spin feature can activate randomly on any base game spin. A special expanding symbol is randomly chosen and this can be a royal or high paying symbol (all symbols bar the wild/scatter).

All instances of this chosen symbol will then expand to take over its reel. A payout then occurs if it leads to a winning combination. The good news is that wins can be formed across non-adjacent reels.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature is played when you land 3 or more wild/scatter symbols on any reels. With 10 free spins awarded, you choose 1 of 3 random royal of high-paying symbols which act as the special expanding symbol.

Landing 3 or more scatters will retrigger the feature with another 10 free spins added. You can win an unlimited number of extra free spins. So far, so standard. The special expanding symbol pays scatter style too.

Awakened Free Spins feature

During the free spins, scatters can transform into spectral scatter symbols. 3 or more of them will trigger the Awakened Free Spins feature with 10 awakened free spins.

Like the free spins, you choose 1 of 3 random royal of high paying symbols to become the special expanding symbol. However, a second special expanding symbol is randomly chosen on each awakened free spin. This dramatically increases your chances of landing winning combinations.

Special expanding symbols pay scatter style – i.e. not on adjacent reels. Finally, 3 or more spectral scatters will give you 10 extra awakened free spins, with no limits.

Ghost of Dead Review Summary – Book of Dead with a couple of twists thrown in

The Ghost of Dead slot is similar to Book of Dead in that its set in ancient Egypt and focuses on special expanding symbols. Visually, it’s darker than Play ‘n GO’s flagship title which may appeal to many.

Play ‘n GO also have Legacy of Dead which is very similar in terms of gameplay but comes with a higher RTP rate (96.58%) and offers up to 9 special expanding symbols in the free spins.

Whilst Ghost of Dead is decent, it offers nothing unique or special. In theory, a screen full of high value mask and/or wild/scatter symbols would result in a 10,000 x stake payout. Play ‘n GO have capped the max win at 5,000 x bet per spin/free spin which is a little frustrating.

I would strongly recommend you try your luck with Nolimit City’s Book of Shadows. Yes, it comes with free spins and special expanding symbols. However, the theme is darker and more sinister than Ghost of Dead and you can play with 10,15 or 20 paylines. It also comes with 30,338 x stake max wins which dwarfs what Play ‘n GO has to offer from their ancient Egyptian themed slots.
