Overview
Legacy of Dead is a video slot from Play'n GO released in 2020 as a development of their own Book of Dead formula. The game keeps the same format - 5 reels, 10 paylines, a tomb symbol as wild and scatter at once - but with a more elaborate bonus round mechanic.

Game mechanics
Wins form across 10 left-to-right lines. The tomb symbol has a dual role: as a wild it substitutes for any other symbol, as a scatter it triggers the bonus independently of the payline when 3 or more land.
Bonus and free spins
When the bonus triggers, the player gets 10 free spins and one randomly chosen expanding symbol. Key difference from Book of Dead: a retrigger (landing 3+ scatters again during free spins) adds not just an extra spin but also another expanding symbol - theoretically up to nine can be active simultaneously, creating far greater win potential toward the end of an extended bonus round.

Frequently asked questions
Is Legacy of Dead 'better' or 'worse' than Book of Dead?
Not better or worse - just structured differently: the base formula is identical, but in Legacy of Dead retriggers add new expanding symbols (up to nine at once), whereas Book of Dead keeps only one active throughout the bonus - making Legacy of Dead potentially more explosive on a lucky retrigger streak.
How many free spins does the base trigger award?
10 free spins when 3 or more tomb scatter symbols land, with one randomly chosen expanding symbol at the start of the round.
Why is Legacy of Dead's volatility classified as very high?
Because of the expanding-symbol accumulation mechanic on retriggers: without a retrigger the round is close to Book of Dead in potential, but a streak of successful retriggers can multiply the final win considerably, creating a very wide spread of possible outcomes.
