Play'n GO recently introduced Scroll of Dead, a slot machine with a popular Egyptian theme that sends players in search of a scroll that is legendary for its magical powers. The new title boasts not only creative Egyptian symbols, expanding icons and a traditionally high-energy gaming experience, but also unusual game mechanics with an additional sixth reel that becomes active at certain gaming conditions. There are many Egyptian-themed games out there, so all of them can be put together in a so-called 'Dead' series. Meanwhile, Play'n GO has collected all the best features and added a twist to make the new title really stand out.
Scroll of Dead is a 5-reel slot with 3 symbol rows and 10 paylines. What makes the game mechanics of this title really special is the presence of an additional reel that increases not only the size of the playing field, but also the potential profit of the players. While we won't get to see Rich Wilde, the protagonist of the previous 'Dead' games in the series, this slot has a lot to boast about:

Although the RTP of the new title is 96.28%, in some cases it can drop to 94.28% or less, which is typical for slots with an unstable return-to-player ratio. In addition, Scroll of Dead offers an extremely volatile gaming experience so it cannot be called an option for casual players. On the other hand, given the wide betting range (from 0.01 to 100 euros), Scroll of Dead can be a good choice for those who do not want to take big risks. Players have access to standard card symbols from 10 to A that form low-paying combinations, as well as thematic icons - ankhs, birds, snakes, Cleopatra. By landing 5 matching icons on reels, a player can receive a payout of up to x500 in the base game (up to x750 if the sixth reel is activated). Considering the maximum prize of x7,500, the maximum winning potential of the slot is hidden in its bonus features:
- Scarab beetle acting as Wild and Scatter. Landing on any reel, the Scarab replaces simple and themed symbols, helping to form winning combinations. For a combination of three or more Scarabs, the player will be rewarded with 8 free spins plus a direct payout of up to x200.
- Additional reel. Before the start of the free spins round, the 6th reel is activated to increase the player's winning chances. In addition, one of the symbols will be selected as expanding to cover all positions on the reel.
- Gamble Feature. Available in the base game after any winning round, it allows the player to at least double their winnings.
Scroll of Dead is nothing completely new, but the 6th reel adds a new dimension to the game, making the gameplay more exciting. While Greentube, the founders of the popular Egyptian-themed slot series, introduced the 6th reel in their title over six years ago, Play'n GO has made this feature more accessible as you don't have to raise your bet to unlock an extra reel. In addition, the maximum prize increased to x7,500 means that Scroll of Dead has a larger winning potential that many gambling enthusiasts will appreciate.
