Crypt of The Dead Review
This game plays with familiar concepts, adding unique twists. With Crypt of The Dead, the developer has boosted the ‘Book of’ concept into a regular monster of win ways and potential.
Visually, there is hardly anything new to see, but the animations flow smoothly with an overall pleasant pace. The symbol values have taken a hit compared to most ‘book clones’, and 6OAK of the premiums are worth between 1.5x and 10x your stake. The 6 reels and 4,096 win ways make a big difference when symbols expand in the bonus round though, and even the lowest value royals can thus do some serious damage.
Crypt of The Dead slot Features
The regular book symbol has been replaced by the game logo, and it serves double duty as both the wild and the scatter in this game. As a wild, the game logo steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos. As a scatter however, you win 10, 15, 25 or 50 free spins when you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 anywhere on the same spin, respectively.
As usual, a random symbol is chosen up front, before the Bonus Round plays out. This becomes the expanding symbol during the feature, and you don’t need to land the expanding symbol adjacent to win. At least 3 anywhere is enough to trigger the expanding feature, and even 2 is enough for the top paying treasure hunter symbol. The chosen symbol expands after any regular wins have been summed up, and below is a max win overview per symbol:
- 9, 10 and J awards 2,457.6x your stake for a full screen.
- Q, K and A awards 4,096x your stake for a full screen.
- Horus and Anubis awards 6,144x your stake for a full screen.
- Pharaoh’s mask awards 12,288x your stake for a full screen.
- Treasure hunter awards 40,960x your stake for a full screen.
If you don’t feel like spending time in the base game grind, you can buy the bonus round directly for 100x your stake. This Bonus Buy feature is not available for UK players however, and it might not be available in all jurisdictions. You are guaranteed at least 3 scatters on the next spin, and the RTP is bumped up to a more average 96 %.
The 200 Spins Crypt of The Dead slot Experience
We almost triggered the bonus round organically at first, but got a decent win instead. At 0:43 we purchase the free spins feature, and we got the minimum of 3 scatters on the spin that followed. Our chosen expanding symbol was ‘A’, and you can check out for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button.
Review Summary
Adding 'the' to the title is far from the only twist added to the regular ‘Book of’ formula, and Crypt of The Dead is nothing short of a small genre evolution. Theoretically, large payouts can be landed also in the base game, due to the 4,096 win ways. This is massive compared to the 10 paylines you normally get. However, most of the time it feels like a regular ‘Book slot’ grind.
The 6th reel and all the extra win ways can really shine during the bonus round though, but it’s still a very ‘hit or miss’ kind of feature. The good news is that even low value royals can award solid payouts, while all premiums take you way above the regular 5,000x win cap if you manage to fill the screen. The 40,960x single spin potential might not be unheard of in the ‘Book of’ genre, but still towers way above the standard 5,000x max win we’ve all grown so accustomed to.
