OASIS OF DEAD

Oasis of Dead by Play’n GO is a high-volatility slot that continues the legacy of “Book-style” games but adds its own twist through multiple expanding symbols and a sleek Egyptian aesthetic. With the golden temple symbol acting as both wild and scatter, and the potential to unlock multiple special symbols during free spins, the game stays faithful to classic mechanics while offering modern gameplay depth.

If you’ve played Book of Dead, Legacy of Dead, or Scroll of Dead, Oasis of Dead will feel familiar — but the expanding symbol tracker and multiple retriggers make this a standout variant for fans of the genre.

Oasis of Dead takes players deep into the Egyptian desert, uncovering a lost oasis surrounded by ancient ruins, buried secrets, and golden artifacts.

• Visual Style: Crisp and clear Egyptian-inspired design with palm fronds, sun-soaked sandstone, and glowing temples. The background changes during free spins to a moonlit desert scene.
• Symbols: Iconography includes pharaohs, sacred birds, scrolls, and ancient amulets, rendered in rich gold and royal jewel tones.
• Animations: Smooth symbol expansions, shimmering scatter animations, and golden glow effects add flair during the bonus round.
• Soundtrack: A mystical Egyptian score with ambient wind and soft percussion sets the tone; intensifies subtly during free spins and big wins.

It’s elegant and thematic, with a visual language that reinforces the sense of ancient treasure waiting to be unlocked.

1. Set your stake using the in-game controls (coin value and number of coins per line).
2. Hit spin to play the 5x3 grid — wins occur from left to right across 10 fixed paylines.
3. Land 3 or more matching symbols on a line to trigger a win.
4. Look for golden temple scatters to trigger free spins and access the special expanding symbol feature.
5. Optional: Use the Gamble Feature after any win to try doubling or quadrupling your prize.

A straightforward slot on the surface — with depth hiding in the bonus round.

Free Spins – Expanding Symbols with Tracker

Trigger:

• Land 3, 4, or 5 golden temple scatter symbols to: Win 2x, 20x, or 200x your bet, respectively. Activate 8 free spins.

Mechanics:

• Before the free spins begin, 1 pay symbol is randomly selected to become a special expanding symbol.
• After regular wins are calculated on a spin, if enough special symbols land to form a win, they expand to cover their reels.
• These expanded symbols do not need to be adjacent and pay across all active paylines.

Retriggers:

• Land 3 more scatters during the feature to: Receive +8 more free spins. Unlock an additional special expanding symbol.
• A meter above the reels tracks which symbols are currently expanding.
• You can unlock up to 9 expanding symbols by retriggering repeatedly.

Gamble Feature

After any win (including post-bonus), players can:

• Guess the colour of a hidden card to double their prize.
• Guess the suit to quadruple it.
• A wrong guess forfeits the prize.
• Can be played up to 5 times per round, or until 2,500 coins is reached.

This classic risk-reward feature suits players who want a little extra excitement after base or bonus wins.

• Match 3–5 symbols left to right on any of the 10 paylines in the base game.
• Trigger free spins with 3+ golden temple scatters to access the expanding symbol feature.
• During free spins: Expanded symbols cover full reels and pay scatter-style, regardless of adjacency. Retriggers can unlock up to 9 expanding symbols, drastically improving win potential.
• Best wins come when high-paying symbols are selected as expanders and appear in multiples.
• Use the gamble feature strategically for moderate win boosts — but tread carefully.

If you enjoy Book-style mechanics with a twist, these are worth playing:

• Legacy of Dead (Play’n GO) – Similar multiple-symbol expansion and bonus potential.
• Scroll of Dead (Play’n GO) – Adds a 6th reel and unlockable features in the bonus.
• Rise of Merlin (Play’n GO) – Expanding symbols with an arcane fantasy setting.
• Book of Shadows (Nolimit City) – Dark horror version with volatility levels and lockable reels.

Oasis of Dead is a masterclass in evolving a classic formula. It retains the familiar feel of Book of Dead but introduces modern features like multiple special symbols, a tracker interface, and solid retrigger potential. With a very strong RTP of 96.58%, the game offers a fair and volatile experience for players who love symbol expansion mechanics.

Best For:

• Fans of Book-style slots
• High volatility seekers
• Players who enjoy sticky, escalating bonus rounds

Not Ideal For:

• Casual players looking for lots of mini-features or low variance
• Anyone seeking bonus games with complex modifiers or wild multipliers

If you're looking for refined simplicity with high potential, Oasis of Dead is a treasure worth digging for.
