Ghost of Dead Review
Ghost of Dead is the latest in a whole line of 'of Dead' slots from Play'n GO. This 5-reel, 10 payline slot can see players randomly receive Ghost Spins at any time during base gameplay, which sees symbols turn into special expanding symbols, leading some HUGE wins!
In addition to this, brave players can gamble their winnings and if their luck is really in they can trigger up to 10 free spins with expanded symbols by landing special scatter symbols.
Design
We'll be completely honest, there's nothing about this Egyptian-themed slot that truly stands out in terms of design... This is essentially a re-skinned version of any of the previous 'of Dead' slots released in the last couple of years (or even a Rich Wilde slot at a push). The only difference is this one has a ghostly spectral background.
This slot is pretty high-quality and nice to look at, but at the end of the day, it's nothing we haven't seen before... That being said, if you're a fan of the series or 'of Dead' style slots then there's nothing to stop you from enjoying this.
Low paying symbols are your standard royal suit 10, J, Q, K, A. High paying symbols include an Ankh cross, a serpent, a scarab and a Pharaoh's mask. The special symbol in this game is a canopus (and Egyptian urn)... This acts as both the wild symbol AND the scatter symbol. There are two types of canopus symbols that can land, a standard one and a spectral one.
Gameplay
Just like the design of this game, you know exactly what you're getting when playing a 'of Dead' slot in terms of gameplay. These games definitely aren't rocket science
Everything pretty much revolves around triggering the free spins and making most of the gamble feature if you're daring enough... However, this slot does feature somewhat of a curveball in Ghost Spins, which do up the ante, offering players a little bit more than usual, which is nice.
In terms of navigating this slot and actually spinning the reels, this game utilises old-school adjustable coin bets.
This means that players have the opportunity to adjust their coin value, coins and paylines. This sees players able to bet as little as 0.01 per spin, which not too many slots allow in this day and age.
Win Potential
High volatility slot Ghost of Dead is pretty lucrative in terms of win potential... Especially thanks to the addition of Ghost Spins! This slot can see players win a maximum of 10,000x their initial stake.
The only warning we have to give you is that this game has an adjustable RTP, so make sure you do your research into which RTP the slot site you're playing at has gone with.
The base game RTP of Ghost of Dead is 96.21%, however, this can be dropped to 94.21%, 91.21%, 87.22% or even 84.22%.
Our Verdict
We've made no secret of the fact that this slot is essentially just another run of the mill 'of Dead' game... However, we are going to give Play'n GO credit where it's due, it looks fantastic and the addition of Ghost Spins really does add to the overall experience.
