Ghost of Dead Slot Overview
Ghost of Dead is an Egyptian-themed slot from Play’n GO with a 5x3 layout and 10 paylines. It sticks to the familiar book-style expanding symbol setup, but adds a random Ghost Spin in the base game, which I actually found makes the whole thing feel less flat. My first impression is pretty decent, mate, because it keeps the simple format and gives it a bit more life.
I’d call it a high-volatility game with a default RTP of 96.21%, though that can vary depending on where you play. Bets run from 0.01 up to 100, and it works on mobile as well. For a relaxed session, it is easy enough to follow, but the base game can still drag a bit between the good moments.
Ghost of Dead Slot Information
5 reels, 3 rows and 10 lines keep things old-school, which is fair enough if you like simple slots. Wins land from left to right, and most symbols need 3 or more on adjacent reels. Higher paying symbols, and the wild, can pay from 2 of a kind, which helps a bit when the reels are being stingy.
Premium symbols are the Ankh, Snake, Scarab and Mask, while the lower-paying lot are 10, J, Q, K and A. Five matching royals pay between 8x and 12x the bet, and five premiums pay between 60x and 1000x. The top symbol is Pharaoh Unas' mask. If that one fills the screen as the expanding symbol, one review puts the payout at 10,000x, which is proper chunky.

Ghost of Dead Slot Features
Randomly, the Ghost Spin feature can pop in during the base game. A symbol gets picked as the expanding one for that spin, and if enough of it lands, 2 or more premium symbols or 3 or more royals, those reels expand. Best part is they do not need to be adjacent to pay, so even a scrappy screen can suddenly turn decent.
Land 3 or more scatter-wild symbols and you get 10 Free Spins, plus a scatter win of 2x, 20x or 200x for 3, 4 or 5 triggers. Before the round starts, you choose 1 of 3 random symbols to be the expanding symbol for the whole feature. Re-triggers are on, and if 3 or more scatters land again, you get 10 more spins and keep the same chosen symbol.
Awakened Free Spins are the stronger version. If the bonus starts with Spectral Scatters, you still get 10 spins and pick 1 of 3 symbols, but the game also adds another expanding symbol during the feature. Another review says that extra symbol can be newly selected on each spin, so either way, this mode is the one with more punch. There is also a Gamble option after wins if you fancy risking them for 2x or 4x.
