Legacy of Dead

What is Legacy of Dead?

Legacy of Dead is a Play'n GO slot that transports you to Ancient Egypt with symbols including scarabs, pharaohs, gods, hieroglyphics, and the glowing golden book. If you're wondering, yes, it is a Book of Dead sequel, and it sits in the "Of Dead" slot series that has become a trademark of the software developer.

This edition in the series uses a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 10 paylines. Wins pay left to right, and you can land payouts with three, four, or five matching symbols, depending on the symbol. You aren't going to be overwhelmed with a huge grid, cluster pays, or a complicated symbol-matching mechanic. The focus is simple: landing line wins, triggering free spins, and hoping the expanding symbols line up for a crack at the bonus round.

Visually, this slot title neither reinvents the wheel nor the genre, with the same tomb exploration theming that made the Book of Dead slot so recognizable. The reels sit inside a gold-framed Egyptian temple, with rich brown stone textures, jewel-toned card symbols, and detailed high-paying icons like Anubis, Horus, and the pharaoh. The soundtrack adds atmosphere but isn't overwhelming, fitting in with the overall theme.

You can play Legacy of Dead right here at MetaWin, and it's a great choice for players who like traditional paylines, big bonus rounds, and are familiar with the other games in the family.

How do you play Legacy of Dead?

To play Legacy of Dead for real money at MetaWin, you'll first need to sign up for an account by connecting your Web3 wallet. We support MetaMask, Phantom, Coinbase Wallet, and 300+ other options through WalletConnect. You can then use any of the 25+ supported tokens (including BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT, USDC, along with stablecoins and memecoins) or our fiat on-ramp, MoonPay, to play.

To find the game, you can either visit our "Slots" lobby or search for Legacy of Dead using the search bar. Once the game loads, the main controls sit below the reel set. There are options to adjust your stake, choose how many paylines you want to activate, start the spin, and set up autoplay. Legacy of Dead has 10 paylines in total, and while you can play fewer lines, using all 10 gives you the widest coverage across the grid.

The autoplay controls allow you to queue multiple spins. As always, it is worth checking your stake before switching autoplay on, especially because the game's bonus round can be volatile. Bigger wins usually come from the free spins feature, rather than from the base game, so watch out for the bonus round while you play.

After a win, you'll see one of the feature options of this slot: the gamble options. This lets you risk your winnings by guessing the color or suit of a hidden card. A correct color guess pays double your winnings, while a correct suit pays 4x your stake. It's optional, however, and you can always collect the win instead.

Legacy of Dead works well on mobile, too, thanks to HTML5 technology. The reels, bet controls, spin button, and game menu scale well on the screens of smartphones and tablets.

Bonus Features

1. The Book Symbols: The Book is the key symbol in Legacy of Dead because it operates as both the Wild and the Scatter symbol. As a Wild, it substitutes for regular paying symbols to help complete line wins. As a Scatter, it can trigger the free spins feature when enough Books land anywhere on the reels.
2. Free Spins Trigger: You need three or more Book symbols to trigger the free spins round. The Books don't need to land on a specific payline and can land anywhere on the 5x3 grid. The feature then moves into the main bonus round, where one symbol is chosen as the special expanding symbol.
3. Expanding Special Symbol: At the start of the free spins round, Legacy of Dead randomly selects one symbol as the special expanding symbol. This can be one of the higher-paying character symbols or a lower-paying card symbol. During the feature, if enough of that special symbol lands to create a win, it expands to cover the full reel. This creates a full-screen payout and can allow you to compound wins together.
4. Retrigger Rules: The free spins round can be retriggered by landing more Book symbols during the feature. Each retrigger has the ability to add more free spins and activate additional expanding symbols, with up to nine expanding symbols able to be active. This allows you to compound your bonuses if the Books keep appearing.
5. Gamble Feature: Legacy of Dead also includes a gamble feature after qualifying wins. You can guess the card color for a 50% chance at 2x your win, or guess the suit for a 25% chance at 4x your win. This is a risk/reward choice, not a required part of the game. Collecting the win is always the safer option.

Tips for playing Legacy of Dead

Legacy of Dead is a simple slot from a popular software developer with a theme that most slot players will be familiar with. However, our experts have provided a couple of top tips and tricks to hopefully help your budget and gameplay last longer, which we've listed below.

1. Play All 10 Paylines: Legacy of Dead lets you play fewer than 10 paylines, but using all 10 gives you the best coverage across the reels. Since wins pay left to right on selected lines, reducing paylines means you may miss combinations that would otherwise count.
2. Focus on Free Spins: The free spins round is the feature that will give you the big wins in the Legacy of Dead slot. One symbol is randomly chosen as the expanding symbol, and it can cover full reels when it lands in winning combinations. High-paying symbols like the scarab, pharaoh, Anubis, or sarcophagus are the sign you'll be in for a big multiplier.
3. Treat the Gamble Feature Carefully: The gamble feature can increase a win by guessing the color or suit of a hidden card. Color gives you a 50% chance at 2x, while suit gives you a 25% chance at 4x. It can be useful, but it can also erase the win, so use it with a plan.
4. Expect Volatile Sessions: Legacy of Dead is a volatile slot, so you shouldn't expect regular payouts in the base game. That means you might need to settle in for some slower sessions while you wait for the free spins round. Ensure you manage your bankroll accordingly.
5. Try the Demo First: This is always the best advice. The Legacy of Dead demo is a great way to learn how the game works, test out bet sizes, see how often the big paying symbols land, and get a feel for the game before you stake cash.
