Dead Man's Riches slot review

Theme and Storyline

Dead Man's Riches is themed around a dark world of piracy.

Players will set sail on a murky sea and face strange monsters and swashbuckling adversaries. If they can keep their wits about them, tantalizing treasure may be waiting.

This slot will especially appeal to fans of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The soundtrack of Dead Man's Riches is a haunting melody punctuated by ominous creaking and sloshing. This helps to create a creepy atmosphere.

Above the reels, players will see the bow of a ship distorted through greenish water. This creates the impression that the players are already submerged in the ocean. Below the reels, chains sway slightly with the movement of the sea.

Among the symbols, there are fierce-looking octopuses, swords, maps, bottles of mysterious red liquid, and chests of treasure. One of the most eye-catching symbols is a golden eel that seems to be swimming straight towards the players. The eel's teeth are bared and its eyes glow electric blue.

The reels are framed in wood with rope separating each reel. This creates the impression that the reels are part of an old-fashioned ship.

Overall, the soundtrack and animation of Dead Man's Riches create an eerie realm of pirate adventure.

Gameplay

Dead Man's Riches is a five-reel, three-row slot with 20 win lines.

The maximum win for this slot is 10,000x the player's total bet.

The prompt pace of the gameplay ensures that players will have no difficulty paying attention.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild Red Skull symbol, Wild Blue Skull symbol, and Wild Captain symbol all substitute for all symbols except the Scatter symbol.

The Travelling Wild feature means that whenever at least one Wild Red Skull symbol or Wild Blue Skull symbol appears, a respin is awarded and any Wilds move on the reels.

If a Wild Red Skull symbol and Wild Blue Skull symbol move to the same position, they combine to become a Wild Captain symbol. This Wild Captain symbol will combine the multipliers of both symbols.

During the next respin, any Wild Captain symbols are divided into a Wild Red Skull symbol and a Wild Blue Skull symbol, with both symbols keeping the combined multipliers.

The Free Spins feature is triggered when at least 3 Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels. Before the feature begins, players must choose whether to start with 15 free spins, or 8 free spins with Persistent Wild symbols.

If players opt to play with 8 free spins and Persistent Wilds, any Wild Red Skull symbols or Wild Blue Skull symbols will persistently reappear on the reels.

Additional free spins are awarded depending on how many Wild symbols appear as follows:

• 2 Wild symbols = 2 additional free spins
• 4 Wild symbols = 3 additional free spins
• 6 Wild symbols = 5 additional free spins
