Return of the Dead Review
While many games in the "Book of" style aim for a modern look, this one goes in a different direction. It goes back to basics in terms of visuals and audio. The explorer character in this game seems a bit different than the typical adventurer.
If you like old-school machines, you might enjoy this. However, some players may prefer games with more interesting bonus features. This game may not be a huge success.
Return of the Dead Features
If you know the "book slot" genre, there isn't much new here. It's all about the free spins bonus. You trigger it with at least 3 book symbols. The book is also a wild symbol that can substitute for other symbols, and it pays 500x for 5 on a payline.
You can also win with the book scatter symbol. Landing 3, 4, or 5 books gives you 2x, 20x, or 200x your stake, respectively. This also triggers the bonus, and you get 10 free spins regardless of how many scatters you land.
The book opens, and a random symbol becomes the expanding symbol for the bonus. Each instance of the chosen symbol will expand to fill its reel. These expanded symbols don't need to be next to each other to win, and they'll only expand if a win is possible.
You can still land book symbols during the bonus, and getting at least 3 on a free spin awards 10 extra spins. There's no limit to how many times you can retrigger it. Filling the screen with the explorer gets you the game's top prize of 5,000x your stake.
The 200 Spins Return of the Dead Experience
We've played many of these types of games before. It took some time to get the bonus here. The base game is mostly cut out of the video below, but the bonus round starts at 1:13.
Review Summary
Return of the Dead has a classic feel, and the default RTP of 96.71% is high. This might be a reason to choose this game. Some may prefer book slots that add something new to the gameplay.
There isn't anything new here, and some may not like the main character. Unless you find a place to play with the highest RTP, there might be better alternatives.
| Pros | Cons |
