Sift Through the Sands for Ancient Egyptian Fortunes in Scales of Dead by Play’n GO

Sep 19, 2023 Artyom Ustinov
The Swedish-founded Play’n GO keeps its developers hard at work, constantly brewing up fresh releases. With recent market growth and a successful G2E showcase, their drive is stronger than ever. The result is Scales of Dead, another high-quality Ancient Egypt-themed title in the “Dead” slot series.
The storyline picks up right where the most recent Dead release — Pilgrim of Dead — left off earlier this year. We follow a lone explorer travelling across the vast Egyptian deserts in search of hidden treasures beneath the Golden Snake Tomb. The mesmerising imagery of the blue sky contrasting with the yellow sand and gold-framed colourful reels infuses the scene with excitement. The retro 5x3 grid and a blend of modern special features lend the same feel to the gameplay. Players win by hitting three or more Serpent, Falcon, Fox, Coloured Royal, or Amulet symbols, but the real rewards lie behind the Tomb Scatters. Land three of these beauties, and you’ll enter a bonus round with 8 free spins in your pocket.
Besides extra chances to win, the Scales of Dead’s free spins give players a better reward potential. If you get lucky enough to land three or more low-paying or two or more high-paying symbols, a special Expanding feature will appear on one of your reels. It’ll grant you valuable prizes from any position on the grid, accompanied by shimmering gold animations. If you think that’s amazing, wait 'til you get a Scatter in this round. Two or more Snake Tombs will trigger the Sandstorm Free Spins feature. The game will add four more free spins onto your stack, each with an attached Multiplier. Staying true to its unpredictable nature, Scales of Dead’s Sandstorm feature comes with a retriggering twist and randomised rewards. The same goes for the Gamble tool. Players who win less than 2,500 coins can use this feature to boost their rewards up to 4x. All they need to do is guess the colour or suit of the face-down cards on the screen. You never know what's in store, but the element of surprise won’t let you down.
