Banquet of Dead Slot

Graphics, Audio, and Symbols Banquet of Dead

We can throw all the cliches in the book at the theme of this Play’n Go casino game. Now, their previous release Tomb of Gold wasn’t that popular with our players. Looking at the stats and the wins we’ve got playing Banquet of Dead we believe we have a winner here.

Judging by the theme it looks like a celebration of the dead. An ancient Egyptian dining hall serves as the backdrop for the reels. The slot also changes from day to night during the free spins.

The symbols on the reels are the cards from 10 to Ace offerings payouts from 10x to 20x for 5.

The high-value symbol is the Queen Pharaoh which pays up to 150x for 5. Other than that, you need at least 3 matching symbols on the reels for a payout.

The other symbol to keep an eye on is the tomb scatter which offers wins of its own. Interestingly it also serves as the game’s wild.

 

Gameplay and Features

Free Spins

The free spins feature triggers when 3, 4, or 5 scatters pitch awarding 7 free spins. Depending on the number of scatters scatter wins of 2.5x, 25x, and 150x ensue.

Before the free spins feature starts, the casino game picks a random expanding symbol. When it lands on a free spin it expands by covering the reels. When another 3 or more scatters pitch you can land an extra 3 free spins.

Moreover, the expanding symbol removes the lowest-value symbol from the reels. That applies to the next free spin, offering bigger wins.

Gamble Feature

The Gamble feature gives you the chance to win more money by picking the correct card color or suite. You can double or quadruple your money. The maximum amount you can win up to 5 times is 2,500 coins.

Paytable & Paylines

What We Like About Banquet of Dead

The free spins feature with the expanding wild and re-triggers up to an extra 30 free spins are mint. Let’s not forget the top cash prize of $3.5 million which is life-changing.

Tips & Strategy

No slot machine guarantees you a win but you can increase your chances by using a betting strategy. Play the slots for free to give you an idea of its hit frequency, and average free spin trigger.

Another way you can increase your winning chances is to play the slot with a bonus. We’re fans of bonus funds, but we advise you to check the bonus terms. If they’re too steep you might hamstring yourself, especially with a volatile slot like this one.

How to Win Money Banquet of Dead

We played the slots in demo mode for a maximum of $100 and the hit frequency is 1 in 5. That means you can expect a payout on every 5th spin.

What makes things a tad difficult is that there’s no feature buy option to buy the free spins. We have reason to believe that the average free spins trigger is 1 in 150 spins.

It might be more if we take the severe volatility into account.

Verdict: Banquet of Dead Slot

Play’n GO is not playing games with its Banquet of Dead release. It’s one of those slots where you can win 35,000x your stake. Or you can run home like a mamma’s little boy crying in your milk.

When the free spins feature finally triggers we like the random pick of an expanding symbol. We couldn’t trigger the free spins feature due to time constraints. If you catch a high-value expanding symbol you’re in the playoffs, figure of speech of course.

Even better, you can snag a special expanding symbol when you land a bunch of matching symbols. Moreover, when the special expanding symbol lands it transforms adjacent symbols into the same symbol.

Needless to say, the payout can be massive even when you play for small stakes of $2. The best part for us is catching extra free spins is not a sweat either.

It’s not impossible to win as much as 70,000 coins on a wager of $2 per spin. Yes, this monster has that much winning potential. Then again, if you push your luck, your bankroll will disappear like a paper in a bonfire.

So, what’s the Whizz’s take on Banquet of Dead? For once Play’n GO released a decent game with incredible potential that pays.
