Day of Dead Slot Information

The game's design consists of a theme that shows the Mexican holiday Día de Muertos. In the background of the reels, you can see a calm and dark night lit up by a lot of candles, where very eerie sounds are played. But when you manage to activate the Free Respin feature, everything immediately comes to life with light and liveliness, with a more fast-paced music. It is a slot that can be played on all the device’s mobiles, notepads and desktops. You create a winning combination by landing 3 or more of the same symbol types on adjacent reels starting at the far left.

The lower paying symbols consist of the suit’s spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. If you land 5 of the same symbol types, it gives between 2X to 2.5X the bet. The medium paying symbols consist of maracas, drum and guitar. If you land 5 of the same symbol types, it gives between 3.5X to 5X the bet. The higher paying symbols consist of a dog, a living dead, a woman and a man. If you land 5 of the same symbol types, it gives between 6X to 15X the bet. During the spins you will be able to land 2 different wilds, where the normal wild shows the text wild in yellow and the expanding wild shows the text wild together with a tombstone. The normal wild pays as much as the highest paying symbol does. The game's scatter symbol consists of a painted skull and the collectable wild symbol consists of a tombstone with flowers in yellow and pink. Let's find out what the features do.

Wild Symbol

The game's wild symbol helps to create more winning combinations by substituting for other symbols. The only symbols it doesn’t substitute for are the scatter symbols and expanding wilds.

Walking Wild

When you land one or more expanding wild symbols, the Walking Wild feature is activated. This wild will then expand and cover the entire reel. You will then receive a respin and the walking wilds will be moved one step to the left at each respin that takes place. You continue to receive new respins, as long as the walking wilds remain on the reels and during these respins, new expanding wild symbols can land that extend the feature.

Free Respin

If you land 3 scatter symbols, the Free Respin feature is activated. You will then receive 2 collectable wild symbols and at the start one or both will be placed on the reels, where they turn into walking wilds. This triggers the Walking Wild feature and as before, you get new respins, as long as there are walking wilds on the reels. During these spins, new collectable wild symbols can land, and these are collected and then randomly placed out or placed when you run out of walking wild symbols on the reels. Within this feature, you start with a 2X win multiplier and each time a collectable wild is used, this multiplier increases by 1X.

Bonus Buy

If you want to take advantage of the Free Respin feature directly, you can use the Bonus Buy feature. You then pay 100X the bet and then the bonus game is activated. When you use the Bonus Buy, the RTP increases slightly to 96.50%.

Day of Dead Slot Conclusion

It is truly a fascinating and heartwarming tradition that Mexicans have during the Día de Muertos. Where one sees this time as an opportunity to celebrate and honor the lost ones, where it is done in a very magnificent way with dance, music, light and lively atmosphere. Pragmatic Play takes this opportunity and has created a slot that will be launched at a suitable time before this celebration. It is a slot where the wilds truly are in focus and with their help big wins can be created. The normal wild as usual helps to substitute for other symbols on the reels, but it is the expanding wild that can make everything very festive.

By landing one or more expanding wild symbols, the Walking Wild feature is activated. Where you get to experience an expanded wild symbol that will generate respins as long as it remains on the reels. With each new respin that takes place, it moves one step to the left and finally outside the reels. During the base game spins, the mood can quickly increase when these expanding wild symbols are activated, and the guitar-playing skeleton begins to dance along the reels. But by landing 3 scatter symbols, the Free Respin feature is activated, a bonus which through its collectable wild symbols gives the opportunity to place several walking wilds and keep the respins alive for a longer period of time.

Pragmatic Play offers good payouts with the different symbol types and by landing expanding wilds, big wins can be quickly generated in combination with the multiplier. It is a good level of the RTP that has been chosen, where one could have wished for a slightly higher potential maximum win. There is no direct revolutionary feature that we get to experience here, but the theme and captivating features are a very entertaining and immortal concept.

Day of Dead is a slot where you, together with guitar-playing walking wilds, can take part in a very wonderful and rewarding celebration.
