Slot Summary

Released on October 11, 2020, Return of the Dead places Reel Kingdom's take on the Book Of format inside a high-volatility 5x3 game. Its 95.67% RTP, 10 paylines, and 1,000x maximum win support a deliberately narrow formula: the Book acts as both Wild and Scatter, while Free Spins select a regular symbol that can expand across complete reels.

How It Plays

The base game uses 10 paylines on a 5x3 layout. Its principal special symbol is the Book, which substitutes as a Wild and also counts as the Scatter.

Without a large stack of base-game modifiers, routine spins concentrate on line combinations and the appearance of enough Books to move play into the bonus.

Theme & Atmosphere

Ancient, Egypt, Mythology, and Book themes present Return of the Dead as an archaeological adventure centered on a mysterious volume and buried history.

The Action & Adventure label fits the explorer-led subject, while the Book links the setting directly to the game's Wild, Scatter, and bonus functions.

Action & Adventure Mythology Egypt Book Ancient

Features & Win Potential

The Book Symbol performs both Wild and Scatter duties, reducing the feature structure to one easily identified symbol with two separate uses.

Stacked Symbols can occupy multiple positions, but the largest structural change arrives when the Free Spins feature assigns one regular symbol the Expanding Symbols behavior.

Bonus & Free Spins

At least 3 Book Scatters award 10 Free Spins. Before the round starts, 1 ordinary symbol is randomly chosen as the special expanding symbol.

When the selected symbol forms a qualifying result, its copies expand over their full reels. Landing at least 3 additional Books retriggers another 10 spins.

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 (95.67%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

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.
