Book of Dead in brief
Book of Dead is the template for the modern "book" slot. Ten free spins with a random expanding symbol is all there is, and that simplicity is its strength: the bonus outcome depends almost entirely on which symbol is picked. A high-paying expanding symbol can fill the screen, while a low one usually produces a modest bonus. Note the very wide range of RTP configurations – the in-game info screen tells you which one a casino runs.
Legacy of Dead in brief
Legacy of Dead is a refined Book of Dead with a twist: landing more scatters gives you more expanding symbols in the bonus. That makes four- and five-scatter triggers genuinely exciting. Otherwise the experience is very familiar.
