Day Of Dead Slot Review – Pragmatic Play
We are nearing the month of October, which means studios start announcing Halloween-themed games for the holiday period. It has been a couple of days since my last Pragmatic Play slot review, the most recent was for the game titled ‘Cash Bonanza’. Which has a max win capped at 5,000x and a Free Spins feature with an increasing multiplier. Today we are learning all about ‘Day Of Dead’, set to release October 21st across all sites.
This slot has a day of dead festival theme, which is a Mexican holiday celebrated on the 2nd of November each year. Celebrating the remembrance of loved ones who have passed. The game background is set in a spooky graveyard in the woods, with candles and flowers left on the graves. The reel set border is engraved stone with decorations, with candles & flowers on either side. Symbols are represented by card suits, musical instruments and characters with face paint for the celebrations. The visual aspects are well made and show off such detail.
Day Of Dead has a setup of 5 reels by 4 rows, this includes 20 set pay lines. This slot is high variance with a set RTP of 96.50% and a max win capped at 4,500x. You can bet from £0.20 – £100.
Day Of Dead Pay Table & Symbols
There are 14 symbols in total, this includes 4 low-paying symbols. These are represented by the card suits spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs. There are also 3 mid-tier symbols, these are represented by shakers, drums and guitars. There are also 4 premium symbols, these are represented by a dog, older female, female and male characters with day of the dead face paint. In addition to these regular symbols is a wild, expanding wild and scatter. The highest paying symbol is the male character premium, which pays 15x for 5 across a pay line. Wilds substitute for all symbols except expanding wilds and scatters. Wilds appear on all reels, expanding wilds expand to fill the reel when they land. Scatters only appear on reels 1, 3, and 5.
Day Of Dead Features
An expanding wild landing on a reel will trigger the ‘Walking Wild Respin‘ feature. Respins are awarded and the wild moves one reel to the left until it falls off the reel set. Additional walking wilds can land during respins and continue until no more wilds are on the reel set.
Landing 3 scatters during a base game spin will trigger the Free Spins feature. Spins will continue until there are no more walking wilds on the reel set. There is a collectable wild which only appears during spins. These gathered wilds will appear above the reel set and go on reels as expanded wilds. The round starts with 2 collectable wilds, on every respin more collectable wilds can hit and be collected. Added back to the screen to random reels at random or when no more expanded wilds are on the reel set. Special reels are in play during this feature.
Conclusion
Overall, I think this slot is a fantastic day of the dead slot by the studio and shows off such unique visual aspects. With a max win capped at 4,500x and a Free Spins feature with a walking wilds mechanic. Be sure to try out the game for yourself on release and check out our exclusive casino offers.
