Scroll of Dead is the latest addition to Play'n GO's lineup of Egyptian-themed slots. Fans of the genre will recognise familiar elements right off the bat; and while classics like Book of Dead are a must, Scroll of Dead does its best to reimagine them with a fresh twist. The slot obviously embraces the rich tradition of 'book' slots, aiming for a familiar yet enhanced experience.
The last part is clear from the start. The slot comes with a 5-reel, 3-row grid that can expand to a 6th reel during certain phases of the game. Players can also select between 1 and 10 paylines, meaning the game is flexible to accompany different betting styles, with the minimum bet set at a modest 0.10 per spin.
Here’s how you can get started and play Scroll of Dead:

As with most slots today, the symbols in Scroll of Dead are a mix of classic card royals and thematic high-pays, all designed with the Egyptian theme in mind, of course. Here’s a breakdown of the symbols and their payouts:
Symbol | Payout (for 3, 4, 5, or 6 matching symbols) |
10 | 0.4, 1.5, 10, 15x |
J | 0.4, 1.5, 10, 15x |
Q | 0.4, 1.5, 10, 15x |
K | 0.4, 2.5, 12.5, 20x |
A | 0.4, 2.5, 12.5, 20x |
Ankh | 0.4, 2, 10, 50, 100x |
Horus | 0.4, 2, 10, 50, 100x |
Cobra | 0.4, 2.5, 25, 150, 300x |
Cleopatra | 1, 10, 100, 500, 750x |
Apart from the symbols in the paytable, Scroll of Dead has two additional (and special) symbols - the Wild and the Scatter. Both substitutes for all other symbols in the game to help craft potentially winning combinations. Three or more wilds or scatters will also trigger 8 Free Spins, but more on that below.
Just as we said, Scroll of Dead is packed with features responsible for keeping the game (and its players) on their toes. Here's a closer look at each one:
The Free Spins bonus feature is activated when you land 3, 4, or 5 scarab symbols, awarding eight free spins. Before the free spins begin, the 6th reel is unlocked, and one pay symbol is randomly selected to become the special expanding symbol. These symbols can potentially expand to cover all positions on their reel and pay all ways, even if they are not adjacent. This could possibly lead to some substantial wins during the Free Spins round.
During the Free Spins bonus, the chosen expanding symbol can potentially greatly enhance your winning potential. When it appears, it expands to cover the whole reel if it can form a win. This feature pays in all directions, making it easier to land significant combinations.
After any win in the base game, you have the option to gamble your winnings. This feature gives you the opportunity to guess the colour or suit of a hidden card to potentially double or quadruple your win. You can, if you are so inclined, gamble up to 5 times in a row, but be cautious – one wrong guess and you lose your winnings from that round.
If ancient history is the reason you’ve come across Scroll of Dead, then you might also like other releases by Play'n GO such as Book of Dead and Legacy of Dead. Both games provide similar gameplay experiences but with their unique set of twists and features, available at BetVictor.
