Slot Summary

Released on 2022-02-24, Secret of Dead extends Play'n GO's Egyptian Book formula across six reels and ties its x10000.00 ceiling to high-volatility play. Its purpose is refinement rather than reinvention: the Ankh doubles as wild and scatter, one symbol expands during Free Spins, and each retrigger adds another expanding choice. The extra reel gives those selected symbols more vertical reach, making bonus-round coverage the central source of tension.

How It Plays

Base play uses 10 fixed paylines across six reels. The Ankh substitutes for ordinary symbols and also serves as the scatter that opens the Free Spins round.

After a regular payout, the Gamble option creates a separate risk decision. It does not alter the reels, but it can increase or remove the completed award.

Theme & Atmosphere

The Egypt setting connects Secret of Dead to the Book tradition through mythology, ancient iconography, and a central figure associated with fate rather than an explorer character.

Animals and Treasure imagery support the setting without changing its somber tone. The presentation treats the Book as an artifact of ritual and concealed knowledge.

Features & Win Potential

The Expanding Symbols rule matters because a selected symbol pays across its full reel during Free Spins. Additional selections make later retriggers materially different from the opening round.

High volatility places more weight on those expanded combinations, while the x10000.00 win limit defines the upper boundary. The available stake runs from 0.01 to 100.

Bonus & Free Spins

Free Spins are activated through the Ankh Scatter Symbol. One regular paying symbol is selected to expand, allowing it to cover complete reels when it appears.

A retrigger awards Additional Free Spins and selects another Expanding Symbol. Repeated retriggers can therefore widen the set of symbols capable of producing reel-wide coverage.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (94.20%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (10,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.

01What distinguishes Secret of Dead from a standard Book slot?

It uses six reels, while retriggers during Free Spins add another selected expanding symbol. This allows several chosen symbols to cover reels within the same bonus round.

02How volatile is Secret of Dead?

Secret of Dead has high volatility and an x10000.00 maximum win, so its larger outcomes are tied to a comparatively uneven payout profile.

03What does the Ankh symbol do?

The Ankh acts as both a Wild Symbol and a Scatter Symbol, substituting in regular combinations while also helping activate Free Spins.

04Can a win be gambled in Secret of Dead?

Yes. The Risk/Gamble game allows a completed win to be staked on a further outcome instead of being collected immediately.
