Oasis of Dead Free Play in Demo Mode by Play'n GO

Oasis of Dead review

Theme and Storyline

Oasis of Dead is an Egyptian-themed slot from Play’n Go. The slot uses the popular ‘Book of’ mechanic that has been utilized successfully by the developer in the past in titles like Book of Dead.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

The Oasis of Dead slot does not look like your conventional Egyptian slot. This is largely down to its setting, which takes you into a green oasis in the middle of the desert. In fact, if you removed the pyramid from the background and the Egyptian-inspired symbols on the reels, you could easily mistake this for a Mayan-themed title.

Gameplay

Oasis of Dead keeps its base game conventional. The slot uses five reels, three rows, and 10 paylines. Winning combinations are formed when players land three or more matching symbols across a payline.

The stake is located under the reels, with players hitting the +/- buttons to adjust the scale. You can also access the paytable and game settings down here.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

Oasis of Dead sticks to the ‘Book of’ gameplay guidebook. The temple-like building acts as the Wild and Scatter, and landing three or more of them will trigger the Free Spins round. Players are given eight spins.

At the start of the round, a random symbol is selected as the Special Expanding Symbol. Whenever this symbol lands, after all wins are calculated, it will expand to fill its respective reel and any new wins are calculated. You can trigger more spins by landing three or more additional Scatters.

Whenever you land a win in either the base game or Free Spins, you will trigger the Gamble option. If you take this, you will be presented with a face-down card. Guessing the colour will double your prize while guessing the suit will quadruple it. If you are incorrect, you will lose all of your winnings.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The Oasis of Dead RTP is a disappointing 94.51%. However, Play’n Go does tend to release multiple versions of titles, with some having higher RTPs. As such, check before you play. According to our slot strategy guide, the average RTP Is 96%. You can land wins up to 5,000x your stake, with the game being given a high volatility rating by Play’n Go.

Conclusion

At this point, it feels like Play’n Go could develop ‘Book of’ slots in its sleep. Oasis of Dead is another solid offering to the genre, with a 5,000x maximum win and engaging gameplay. However, the low RTP offered is going to turn a lot of people away. Aside from that, it is a solid addition to the ‘Book of’ genre.
