How to play Legacy of Dead

The rules fit on one page — and that's the charm. Here they are in the order you'll meet them in the tomb.

01The reels

Legacy of Dead has 5 reels and 3 rows inside a gilded frame, set in a torch-lit burial hall. The symbols are:

  • the Pharaoh — the richest symbol;
  • Anubis, the Golden mask and Horus;
  • the card letters A, K, Q, J and 10;
  • the golden Tomb — Wild and Scatter in one.

02Paylines

There are 10 paylines. A line pays when matching symbols run along it from the leftmost reel. The four picture symbols already pay for two in a row; the card letters need three. Only the highest win on each line is paid, and wins on different lines add up. Some casinos let you choose fewer lines — playing all ten is the norm.

03The Tomb

The Tomb does two jobs:

  • Wild — on a line it replaces any other symbol.
  • Scatter — it pays wherever it lands, and three or more start the free spins.

04Free spins and expanding symbols

When the free spins start, one regular symbol is picked at random to be the special expanding symbol. Whenever it lands on enough reels to pay, it fills those reels completely and pays on all ten lines — the reels don't need to be next to each other. Landing three more Tombs during the round gives extra spins and another special symbol. The full details are on the free spins page.

05The gamble

After any win you can gamble it on a face-down card: guess the colour to double the win or the suit to quadruple it. You can keep going up to five times or collect at any point. A wrong guess loses the win.

06A first session in the demo

  1. Open the review page and press play on the game screen.
  2. Set a small bet — this is a very volatile game.
  3. Spin until the free spins arrive and watch which symbol becomes special.
  4. Try the gamble with a small win to see how it feels.
