Banquet of Dead

What kind of entry is Banquet of Dead in the Dead series?

A new entry in the Dead series from the makers of Book of Dead, this Play’n GO slot is set in Queen Nitocris’s tomb. The deeper you go, the more dangerous the traps become, and the series’ signature expanding symbol free spins are the centerpiece. It’s a 10-payline structure where 3 or more matching symbols give a regular win, so series fans can adapt right away.

How many free spins do you start with and how long can they last?

When you enter free spins, you automatically get 7 of them. If 3 or more scatters land during free spins, it retriggers and adds 3 spins, and it can run up to 25 rounds. One of the regular symbols, excluding the scatter, is randomly chosen as the special expanding symbol. When the special expanding symbol is a high-paying one, expectations for the whole round rise considerably.

When does the expanding symbol spread?

Expansion happens when the special symbol is high-paying and 2 are on the reels, or low-paying and 3 are on the reels. Regular win payouts are given first, then the special symbol grows to cover all three positions on the reel. An expanded symbol can build strong combinations anywhere, even with empty reels between them. The fact that it connects even across gaps between reels is the charm of the Dead series’ expanding symbol.

Can you buy the bonus in Banquet of Dead?

Bonus buy is not available. Even in the demo you have to wait for free spins to trigger yourself, but retriggers running up to 25 rounds mean that once you’re in, the round can last quite a while. Which symbol becomes the special symbol is the main thing to watch. Enjoy the eerie tomb atmosphere of Queen Nitocris along the way.

What should I check first in the demo?

The RTP is 96% and the max win is 35,000x your bet. There is no official volatility figure, so use the demo to get a feel for how often free spins trigger and how many retriggers you get. It’s also worth comparing results when the special symbol is high-paying versus low-paying. Aiming for the scene that runs up to 25 rounds is a good goal too.
