Pilgrim of Dead

It's common knowledge that some online slot providers focus on releasing games that utilize the latest graphics, while others opt for a more classic approach. Pilgrim of Dead is perhaps the best of both worlds, with smooth animations, highly detailed symbols, and a retro appearance. The slot is set inside an Egyptian tomb, and Anubis statues can be seen on either side of the board itself. Pilgrim of Dead is played across a total of 5 reels and 10 pay lines, all of which can be covered with a minimum stake of 0.10 per spin. 

This slot was created by Play'n GO, with their familiar user interface remaining unchanged. In the past, the company has developed a wide variety of slot machines that focus on popular themes. Some of their standout titles include the likes of Bull in a Rodeo, Moon Princess 100, and Hugo Carts. Like almost all of the games released by Play'n Go, Pilgrim of Dead can also be played across a selection of mobile devices, including phones and tablets! 

The usual 10, J, Q, K, and A symbols all appear in Pilgrim of Dead, awarding players with up to 6x the stake size. Next are the premium icons, displayed as a scarab, some scales, an Anubis statue, and a pharaoh. These can award players with 12.5x, 12.5x, 25x, or 100x their stake size, should five fall along the same payline. When it comes to special symbols, the wild and scatter symbols are both the same, shown as a tomb. This icon can trigger the main bonus while also replacing any standard or premium symbol to form a combination. 

Pilgrim of Dead features a gamble mechanic, where players can choose to wager their potential winnings on the predicted outcome of a card. This will start face down, with the three choices being to guess the colour of the card, guess the suit of the card, or collect the potential winnings. Correctly predicting the colour will double the potential winnings, while the suit will multiply them by 4. Should the guess be incorrect, the round will end, and players will return to the base game empty-handed. 

A free spins mode can also be triggered should three or more tomb scatter icons appear simultaneously. At the start of the round, a random symbol will be chosen to fully expand. Should this be a premium symbol, they will only need to land on two different reels in order for the expansion to occur. For standard symbols, they must appear on a minimum of 3 reels. It's also worth mentioning that once fully expanded, these symbols ignore paylines and do not need to be adjacent to each other to form a combination. 

After the initial selection is randomly made, players can either accept the choice or reroll once. If they choose to reroll, another symbol will be picked and activated. The first time this symbol appears, it will become sticky and lock in place for the rest of the round. Furthermore, this mode can be retriggered, with additional spins being awarded if three more scatters land across any of the reels. A maximum of 30 free spins can be played during the bonus. 

Pilgrim of Dead follows the 'Book Of' slots in many regards. However, the addition of the first special symbol becoming sticky is likely an addition welcomed by punters. The symbols in the game are high quality, and the scatter symbol also doubles as the wild!
