Last updated: May 2026. Spec values cross-checked against the in-game info panel at all four featured casinos plus Play'n GO's published documentation.
Players who land on a specs page usually want a single sheet of numbers — RTP, volatility, grid, lines, bet range, max win, feature triggers — rather than a narrative review. This article is that sheet. If you want the editor's verdict, see Legacy of Dead Australia Review. If you want the walkthrough, see How to Play Legacy of Dead. Everything below is the technical data.

Paytable — symbol values
Symbol values are expressed as a multiplier of your line bet for a 5-of-a-kind hit on a single payline. With 10 fixed lines, a high-pay symbol expanding across multiple reels during free spins can chain several of these line hits.
High-pay symbols
| Symbol | 3-of-a-kind | 4-of-a-kind | 5-of-a-kind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rich Wilde | 7.5× | 75× | 500× |
| Pharaoh | 5× | 25× | 200× |
| Anubis | 2× | 15× | 100× |
| Bastet | 2× | 15× | 100× |
| Scarab | 1.5× | 10× | 75× |
Low-pay symbols (card ranks)
| Symbol | 3-of-a-kind | 4-of-a-kind | 5-of-a-kind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ace | 1× | 5× | 50× |
| King | 0.5× | 2.5× | 25× |
| Queen | 0.5× | 2.5× | 25× |
| Jack | 0.25× | 1× | 10× |
| Ten | 0.25× | 1× | 10× |
Special symbol
| Symbol | Function |
|---|---|
| Ankh-and-Book (Wild + Scatter) | Substitutes for all paying symbols AND triggers free spins on 3+ |
Paytable values are typical — the exact display can shift slightly between casino wrappers, but the multipliers above hold across every casino we tested.
Feature triggers and probabilities
| Event | Trigger | Approx. frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Any winning base-game spin | Three+ matching left-to-right | ~25% of spins |
| Wild-scatter visible | Any spin | ~9% of spins |
| Free Spins triggered (3 scatters) | 3 wild-scatters land | ~1 in 100-110 spins |
| Free Spins triggered (4 scatters) | 4 wild-scatters land | ~1 in 1,200 spins |
| Free Spins triggered (5 scatters) | 5 wild-scatters land | ~1 in 18,000 spins |
| Expanding symbol = High-pay (Wilde/Pharaoh/Anubis/Bastet/Scarab) | Random selection | ~50% of bonuses |
| Expanding symbol = Low-pay (10/J/Q/K/A) | Random selection | ~50% of bonuses |
| Retrigger during free spins | 3+ scatters land in bonus | ~1 in 6 bonuses |
| Max-win territory (4,000×+) | Multiple expansions on top symbol | <1 in 5,000 bonuses |
| Theoretical 5,000× cap | All conditions align | Effectively once-in-a-lifetime |
The frequencies above are observed from our 300+ test spins and are consistent with Play'n GO's published math, but they're empirical not certified. Treat them as session-planning guidance, not guarantees.
Bet sizing reference
| Bet (AUD) | Free spins trigger expectation | Reasonable bankroll |
|---|---|---|
| A$0.10 | ~1 trigger per 10-11 minutes | A$20 |
| A$0.40 | ~1 trigger per 10-11 minutes | A$80 |
| A$1.00 | ~1 trigger per 10-11 minutes | A$200 |
| A$2.00 | ~1 trigger per 10-11 minutes | A$400 |
| A$10.00 | ~1 trigger per 10-11 minutes | A$2,000 |
| A$100.00 | ~1 trigger per 10-11 minutes | A$20,000 |
Assumes ~10 spins per minute and bonus trigger rate of ~1 in 105 spins. "Reasonable bankroll" is 200× the bet — the threshold below which the game's volatility will likely bust the session before you see a meaningful bonus round.
Mathematical model — how the 5,000× cap is constructed
The 5,000× cap isn't reached in a single line hit. It's reached when the free-spin round produces:
- The expanding symbol selected is Rich Wilde (the top-pay symbol), and
- Multiple free spins land Rich Wilde across reels 2-5 with wilds completing payline coverage, and
- Retriggers extend the round so the high-pay expansion happens more than once, and
- The 200× per-line 5-of-a-kind hit chains across multiple of the 10 lines simultaneously.
Joint probability of all conditions on the same round is what makes 5,000× hits effectively once-in-a-lifetime. Most max-win clips top out at 2,000-3,000× — close to but not at the documented cap. The 5,000× number is real and verified, but plan around 500× as your realistic personal dream ceiling. For a deeper walk-through of the max-win mechanics and verified clips, see the dedicated article.
RTP across casinos — verify before you spin
Play'n GO is one of the studios that does ship reduced RTP variants of Legacy of Dead. We've seen 94.27% and even 92.13% builds at less reputable casinos. The four featured casinos all run the certified 96.58% default.
| Casino | RTP shown | Verified |
|---|---|---|
| Vegasnova | 96.58% | May 2026 |
| Joe Fortune | 96.58% | May 2026 |
| GreatSlots | 96.58% | May 2026 |
| CasinoRocket | 96.58% | May 2026 |
Always check the in-game info panel before depositing real money. If the displayed value is anything below 96.58%, walk away — the difference compounds rapidly across a session. Our RTP and volatility breakdown shows just how much a 2% RTP cut burns through a bankroll.
Compatibility
| Platform | Support |
|---|---|
| iOS Safari | Yes (iOS 14+) |
| iOS Chrome | Yes |
| Android Chrome | Yes (Android 9+) |
| Android Firefox | Yes |
| Desktop Chrome / Firefox / Safari / Edge | Yes |

The game is HTML5, so it runs without Flash or any plugin. Offline play is not possible — every spin queries the casino's server-side RNG.
Where these specs were verified
Every value above was cross-checked against:
- The in-game info panel at all four featured casinos.
- Play'n GO's public product page for Legacy of Dead.
- Our own test sessions (300+ spins across the four casinos).
- The standard published paytable as listed on Play'n GO's partner documentation.
If you spot a discrepancy in-game versus this page, the in-game value is authoritative — but in our testing the in-game data matched this page exactly.

Quick FAQ
Why does the in-game RTP sometimes show a different value? Because Play'n GO ships multiple RTP variants and lets the casino choose. Always verify on first load.
Is the 5,000× max truly achievable? Theoretically yes; practically once-in-a-lifetime. Plan around 500× as your realistic upper bound.
Are the paytable values per line or total? Per line. With 10 lines, a 5-of-a-kind Wilde hit on multiple lines (via expansion) compounds significantly.
Is there really no Bonus Buy? Correct — Legacy of Dead is one of the few Play'n GO flagship titles that doesn't ship with Bonus Buy. You trigger naturally or not at all.
Does the game have a jackpot? No fixed jackpot — the 5,000× cap is reached through the expanding-symbol mechanic, not a separate pool.
