Secret of Dead

I’m sure me slot spinnin’ fans have tried one Egypt/Book-themed slot so far. They all look alike and share most of the same features, yet the dual role of the Book can potentially deliver nice wins in an otherwise unimpressive game. Every once in a while, some developers will go an upgrade a Book of… slot with new mechanics or a single feature to up the stakes and spice things up. Play’n GO was the latest to do it in Secret of Dead, a new Book slot with an Egypt base and a few different things.

Played on a 6x3 grid with ten fixed paylines, Secret of Dead uses the standard Book formula as its base. As me slick foxy fans will see, it does a few things differently, and can pay up to 10,000x the bet. The slot is highly volatile and has an RTP of 96.2%, so you best be careful with your bets.

Even though it might feel like a Ra clone to many, this new Egyptian slot game can lead to attractive payouts all the way up to the top cash prize.

If any of me foxy-lovin' fans have tried a Book slot before, you already know what the deal is in Secret of Dead. The difference here are the 6 reels instead of 5, and like always, they're paired with ten paylines. As a slot set in ancient Egypt, expect plenty of deities and hieroglyphs on the reels. The goddess of fate Shai is the highest-paying premium,and can deliver wins of 5,000x the bet for six on a line.

The new feature here is that Shai pays double when expanded on the reels in the bonus round. The top premium symbol pays just as much as the Ankh, which plays the Book scatter/wild role in The Secret of Dead slot.

I can safely say that there’s not much going on in the base game. The Ankh can step in as a wild and complete winning combinations. Me players are mostly confined to standard symbol payouts, with better action to follow in the free spins bonus round. Secret of Dead doesn’t stray too much from the Book formula, with a notable difference in the bonus.

Just like all Play’n GO slots, this one is a visual treat. I can confirm that the studio did a great job with the sharp graphics and animations and the excellent soundtrack and sound effects. But we’ve all grown to expect it from Play’n GO, so this is just another top-notch slot in the studio’s growing portfolio.

Landing at least three Ankh scatters books your ticket for the bonus round. Three Anks also pay x1, with instant cash prizes of x4, x50, and x250 for four, five, and six triggering scatters. You also get 8, 10, 12, or 15 free spins, respectively.

What me slick slot spinners can expect in the bonus round is a randomly chosen expanding symbol before the round begins. That'll help you win more in the free spins round. It is shown on the reel above the free spins. A new expanding symbol will be chosen on the next bonus retrigger. This will keep going on until you have nine expanding symbols unlocked. Of course, that's a bit difficult, as retriggers only happen with three or more Ankhs landing on the reels.

If you’re so lucky for the slot to choose Shai as the expanding symbol, all wins with the goddess of fate are doubled.

Secret of Dead is a familiar, yet unique Book/Egypt slot game that me foxy-lovin' friends would indeed love to try. It's a slot that doesn't stray far off the path yet adds further expanding symbols to the mix in addition to a solid base game. The graphics are great as always, and the gameplay is fun, even though a bit unimpressive.

However, with potential wins up to 10,000x in the bag, it’s a casino game most of me fans will be pleased with. Give it a try here at Foxy Bingo and try to solve the riddle of the sphinx!
