Myth of Dead is a 2025 Play’n GO slot on 5×3 reels and 10 lines where Wilds collect instant prizes from God symbols, and free spins add boosters and a Coronation Path that raises prize multipliers.
Myth of Dead is the “Dead” brand taken in a new direction. The ancient Egyptian setting of Legacy of Dead and Rise of Dead is still there, now ruled by its gods, but this is not a book-style expanding-symbol game. Instead, God symbols carry instant cash prizes and Wilds collect them. In free spins those prizes can reach 250x the bet each, and a Coronation Path adds more spins and multiplies the prizes as Wilds land.
Play’n GO released it in February 2025 on a 5×3 layout with 10 paylines. Volatility is very high, and wins are capped at 3,000x the total bet.

God symbols appear with random instant prize values on them. On a normal spin they are just symbols. The prizes only pay when Wilds land during the Wild Re-Spin or free spins, because landed Wilds collect every visible prize value. Wilds substitute for all symbols except scatters.
This changes how you read the reels. A screen full of God symbols with big values is exciting, but without a Wild in the right moment it means nothing. It gives the game a very different rhythm from the classic line-hit slots in the series.
Wild Re-Spin triggers at random in the base game. During it, God symbols carry values of 1x, 2x or 5x the total bet, and any Wilds that land collect them. It is a modest feature by design, more of a top-up than a big moment, but it breaks up the line wins and gives a preview of how free spins work.
Three, four or five scatters award 10, 15 or 20 free spins. Scatters cannot land during the feature, so there are no scatter retriggers.
At the start, one of four boosters is chosen at random:
During free spins, God symbols can carry values from 1x up to 250x the total bet. Every Wild that lands is added to the Coronation Path. Every fourth Wild awards five extra free spins, and the path raises the instant prize multiplier to x2, x3 and finally x4 at its later stages, or up to x5 if Ankh Ascend started the round.
In practice, the round has a clear arc. The early spins are about collecting a few prizes and filling the path. If the Wilds keep coming, extra spins and higher multipliers make the later spins far more valuable. If they don’t, the round can end quickly with a small total. The 3,000x cap limits the very top, but reaching it is rare.
The default RTP is 96.59%, a touch above the 96% many players use as a benchmark, with lower versions available to casinos. Our guide to RTP explains how to check.
Very high volatility means the base game pays little most of the time. The value sits in free spins, which can be uneven. Expect long quiet spells and keep stakes low compared with your budget. Our page on high-volatility slots has more on how to handle that.
Players arriving from Book of Dead will find a familiar Egyptian setting but a different game. Book of Dead’s free spins rely on one expanding symbol filling the reels. Myth of Dead relies on Wilds collecting prizes and a path that boosts the round as it goes. It feels more modern and more involved, though some players will miss the simplicity of the original. More from the studio is on our Play’n GO page.
Pros:
Cons:
Myth of Dead is the most inventive “Dead” game in years. The collect mechanic works well, the boosters vary each feature and the Coronation Path gives free spins a satisfying build. The base game is thin and the volatility is demanding, and the 3,000x cap is lower than some rivals. For players who enjoy a free spins round that grows as it goes, it is a strong pick.
