Bonus guide

Free spins and expanding symbols

This round is the whole point of Legacy of Dead. Here's how it starts, how the special symbols behave, and why a long round can get very rich.

01Opening the crypt

Three or more Tombs anywhere on the reels start the free spins. Reviews report a starting round of 8 to 10 spins; the game shows the exact number on the intro screen. Before the first spin, one regular symbol is chosen at random as the special expanding symbol.

02How a symbol expands

When the special symbol lands on enough reels to pay — two for the pictures, three for the cards — every one of those reels fills with it. It then pays as if it were on all ten lines. The reels don't have to be adjacent: reels 1, 3 and 5 count as three.

03Retriggers add symbols

Three or more Tombs during the free spins award extra spins and a new special symbol. From then on, every chosen symbol can expand on the same spin, and their wins are added together. Reviews put the limit at nine special symbols — one for each regular symbol.

The big pictureThe more retriggers, the more symbols can expand at once. That's how Legacy of Dead goes further than its older cousin, Book of Dead.

04Wins that aren't expansions

Ordinary line wins still pay during the free spins, and the Tomb still acts as Wild. Expansion wins are added on top.

05Realistic expectations

Most rounds end with modest wins. The 5,000× top win needs the Pharaoh as the special symbol across all five reels — very rare. Treat the big numbers as possibilities, not targets.
