Pragmatic Play Offers a New Take on a Classic Theme in Kingdom of the Dead

Pragmatic Play has returned to a tried-and-tested formula in the Kingdom of the Dead slot, creating a 10-payline game with free spins, high max payouts, and a classic ancient Egyptian theme.

• RTP: 96.07%
• Volatility: Very High
• Bonus Features: Wild Symbols, Free Spins, Expanding Symbols

This Pragmatic Play title takes inspiration from the much-loved “Book of” slot theme, one that’s best exemplified by the massively popular Book of Dead slot from Play’n Go.

Kingdom of the Dead Symbols and Slot Bonus Features

The 10 paylines in Kingdom of the Dead are spread across a 5×3 grid that sits inside an Egyptian temple. Dynamic visuals such as blazing fires and a dazzling title hold the player’s attention while classic Egyptian iconography tumbles down the reels.

The game’s biggest symbol is its intrepid protagonist, an explorer who rewards payouts of up to 500x for 5 connections across a single line. Only two of these symbols are needed to trigger a payout, and the same is true for the other main game icons—a sarcophagus, Anubis, and the obligatory scarab beetle. The other icons—10 through to ace—require at least three connections, and their payouts max out at 15x.

The “Book of” influence can be seen in the scatter, which also acts as the game’s wild. Between 2 and 5 of these trigger instant payouts from 1x 500x while also substituting for other symbols. Players who land at least 3 scatter wilds anywhere on the grid are treated to 10 free spins with two options to choose from:

• Random Mystery Symbol: A symbol is chosen at random on every spin to become an expanding symbol. This symbol expands at the end of the spin and covers all positions on a single reel.
• Fixed Mystery Symbol: The expanding symbol is randomly selected at the start of the feature and applies to each free spin.

The free spins round and resulting expanding symbols offer the best chance of reaching the game’s maximum payout of 10,000x. There is a “buy feature” option, but this is not available in all jurisdictions.
