Eye of Dead

This online slot game allows players to put on their favorite adventurer boots and venture inside a forgotten tomb. Eye of Dead has a somewhat dark feel to it, as the background is dimly lit throughout the base game. A few exciting features are included within this slot, alongside a retro soundtrack. Players can spin Eye of Dead with a minimum stake size of 0.10 per round, with the maximum potential winnings sitting at 50,000x, or 250,000.00. 

Eye of Dead was created by Blueprint Gaming, a company that has been in the online casino space since 2001. During this time, they have released a huge category of slots, including big-name titles such as Vikings Unleashed Megaways, Super Diamond Deluxe, and Tiki Treasures Megaways. After listing a few of their slot machines, it's perhaps no surprise to learn that Blueprint Gaming regularly integrate the Megaways mechanic into their releases.

To start this section, we have the typical J, Q, K, and A symbols, with gold being applied to all in various places. Landing 5 of these along a payline can award players with 10x the bet, making all playing card-related icons as desirable as each other. From here, there is a scarab, a sarcophagus, Horus, Anubis, a Pharoah, and finally, an adventurer. These can award players with up to 20x, 20x, 25x, 30x, 40x, or 50x their total stake size, should five form a matching combination.

Scatter symbols in Eye of Dead are shown as books and can be responsible for triggering the lone bonus mode. There are also wild symbols, shown as golden pillars with a scarab on the front. These icons are different to wilds featured in other slots, as they can only appear fully stacked, covering the entire reel as a result. The functionality of wilds remains the same, however, as they can replace any standard or premium symbol to form a matching combination.

The main bonus mode in Eye of Dead can be triggered if 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols appear during the same spin. Should this happen, players will be awarded with 2x, 20x, or 50x their stake size, respectively, in addition to 12 free spins. In this mode, wild symbols can upgrade symbols when they land, with progression being tracked at the top of the board. 

If a symbol is upgraded, it will become the next most desirable one. For example, a beetle can be upgraded into the sarcophagus icon. This can happen to any of the premium symbols except for the scatter and wild. Standard symbols such as the J, Q, K, and A, however, will remain in play for the duration of the bonus mode. Finally, if 1, 2, or 3 full wild reels appear simultaneously, players will receive an additional 1, 3, or 5 spins, respectively. 

In terms of visuals, Eye of Dead is relatively simple. However, many of the symbols have golden accents and bold frames, which really help them to stand out against the board itself. This slot also has a bonus mode that allows various symbols to be upgraded throughout the round!
