About the Scroll of Dead game
Scroll of Dead is a high-volatility Egyptian-themed video slot from Play’n GO, built around a classic expanding-symbol mechanic. The base game uses five reels, three rows and 10 paylines, while a locked sixth reel becomes available during the Free Spins feature. The maximum win reaches up to 7,500x the stake. The RTP can vary between casino versions, so players should check the in-game paytable for the exact percentage offered before playing.
Game Mechanics and Features
In the base game, winning combinations are formed across 10 paylines from left to right. The symbols include card values alongside Egyptian icons such as the ankh, Horus, snakes and the goddess of destiny, Shai. The scarab has two functions: it acts as both the Wild and the Scatter. As a Wild, it substitutes for regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations.
Landing three or more Scarab Scatters triggers eight Free Spins and unlocks the sixth reel, changing the layout from 5x3 to 6x3. Before the feature begins, one regular paying symbol is selected at random as the Special Expanding Symbol. During Free Spins, this symbol can expand to cover full reels when the required number appears, creating additional winning possibilities without needing the matching symbols to land on adjacent reels.
Free Spins can be retriggered by landing enough Scatter symbols again. Scroll of Dead also includes an optional gamble feature that allows players to risk a base-game win by guessing the colour or suit of a hidden card. There is no Bonus Buy feature or progressive jackpot.
Theme, Appearance and Mobile Play
Scroll of Dead takes place in a shadowy Ancient Egyptian setting filled with hieroglyphs, stone architecture, flickering flames and traditional Egyptian symbols. The artwork centres on Shai, the goddess of destiny, while the locked sixth reel gives the game screen a distinctive visual element even before the bonus feature begins.
The presentation is atmospheric without becoming overly complicated, and the main attraction is clearly the expanding-symbol Free Spins round. Because of its high volatility, Scroll of Dead may suit players who prefer fewer but potentially stronger payouts and are comfortable with longer periods between notable wins. The game is available for desktop and mobile play, with HTML5 technology supporting modern browsers and portable devices.
