Kingdom of The Dead Slot Review

Kingdom of the Dead: Slot Overview

When I first opened Kingdom of the Dead, I was greeted by that familiar Reel Kingdom style: a classic 5x3 grid with 10 paylines, two blazing braziers on the roof, and a rugged adventurer standing guard. The whole thing screams Egyptian “Book” slot, with books, scarabs and Ra imagery everywhere. Under the surface though, this one runs on a sharper maths model and a far higher 10,000x maximum win.

Kingdom of the Dead is built by Reel Kingdom in partnership with Pragmatic Play, and it gives you stakes from 0.10 up to a wallet‑testing 250 per spin in some setups. It is very much a high volatility slot, so the base game can feel dry, but the headline RTP sits at 96.07% when set to the top configuration, which is respectable for this style of Egyptian adventure.

How to Play Kingdom of the Dead Slot

In practical terms, playing Kingdom of the Dead is straightforward. I tweak my bet using the plus and minus buttons, choosing between 1 and 10 coins per line and coin values that usually range from 0.01 to 2.50. That gives a total stake between 0.10 and 250 on the 10 fixed paylines. Wins land by lining up 3 or more matching symbols from left to right, while premium symbols can pay from just 2 of a kind.

When I first load the game, I always check the paytable under the information icon, as it scales to the stake and shows how the expanding symbols behave in free spins. Spins are started manually with the main button, and there is a simple menu for quick settings. For standard play I grind the base game, saving balance for when the books finally land and the feature comes alive.

Symbols and Payouts in Kingdom of the Dead

The symbol set in Kingdom of the Dead is very classical for this genre. At the lower end you have 10, J, Q, K and A, styled as royal cards with a slight Egyptian twist. Hitting 3, 4 or 5 of these across a line pays between 0.5x and 15x your stake, so they keep the balance ticking over but rarely change the session on their own.

The high value symbols are where Kingdom of the Dead can really move. Blue scarabs, Anubis, a pharaoh and the adventurer make up the premium set, and these pay for 2 to 5 of a kind. Five premiums on a line award anything from 75x up to 500x the bet, with the adventurer sitting at the top of the paytable and acting as the real jackpot symbol outside the bonus round.

The book symbol in Kingdom of the Dead pulls double duty as wild and scatter. As a wild, it substitutes for every regular symbol and can appear on all five reels, often finishing lines you would otherwise miss. As a scatter, landing 3, 4 or 5 books anywhere pays 2x, 20x or 200x your total bet and launches the free spins, so every tease feels significant when two books have already landed.

Kingdom of the Dead Bonus Features

The free spins feature in Kingdom of the Dead is where the slot earns its place in the “Book” family. Triggering it with 3 or more books gives a 2x to 200x scatter payout and 10 free spins. Before they start, I get to pick between two modes: a Fixed Mystery symbol that stays the same for the whole round, or a Random Mystery symbol that changes on every free spin.

Whichever option I choose, the selected symbol can expand. After regular line wins are paid, if enough of that symbol are in view to form a win, they expand to cover their reels. Expanded symbols pay on all lines and from any position, so they do not need to be adjacent. Hitting 3 or more book scatters during the bonus adds another 10 spins with the same mystery mode, and there is no hard cap on retriggers before max win.

On top of that, Kingdom of the Dead includes an Ante Bet and a bonus buy in many markets. The Ante Bet raises your stake by 50% and adds extra books to the reels, increasing the chance of seeing three land in a spin. Outside the UK you can also pay 120x the bet to buy straight into the feature, which keeps the RTP at the top value and skips the base game grind.

RTP & Volatility in Kingdom of the Dead

The maths profile in Kingdom of the Dead suits players who enjoy swingy slots. Officially it is high volatility, and it feels that way, with long stretches of dead spins between bursts of action. The maximum win comes in at 10,000x the bet, with figures for this title quoting odds of around 1 in 4,636,069 spins. RTP can vary, but the main setting sits at 96.07%, with lower versions also used.

Kingdom of the Dead: Slot Verdict

For me, Kingdom of the Dead lands as a solid entry in the Egyptian book‑style line‑up. The visuals have that slightly rough Reel Kingdom charm, the soundtrack keeps the tension simmering, and the choice between a fixed or random expanding symbol makes the free spins more interactive than just hitting start and hoping. The trade‑off is a very dry base game, where most interest comes from watching for books.

If you are into high variance “Book” slots and can stomach the barren spells, Kingdom of the Dead feels worth a seat at the table. The 10,000x potential is comfortably above many titles in this bracket, and the Ante Bet helps chase features without changing RTP. I treat it as a game for focused sessions rather than casual spins, hunting for that one explosive expanding symbol set‑up.
