Play'n GO unveils new slot in Dead series titled Banquet of Dead, including two newly revised features

iGaming content provider Play’n Go has announced the launch of a new slot for its Dead series, titled Banquet of Dead.

The company explains that in this brand-new 5x3 online slot, players are invited to the “dusty, cavernous tomb” of Queen Nitocris in Ancient Egypt. As players venture deeper into the tomb, they'll come across the Banquet of Queen Nitocris, "rife with dangerous obstacles and tasty traps."

The banquet features Free Spins, which can be triggered by regular symbols chosen randomly, transforming them into a Special Expanding Symbol. During Free Spins, seven Spins are gifted automatically; while obtaining three or more Scatters will re-trigger Free Spins for up to 25 rounds. 

The game boasts two newly revised iconic features that tie to the Dead series: Expanding Symbols and Symbol Removal. Expanding Symbols can cover all three positions on the reels and create winning combinations as the banquet intertwines itself with the slot mechanics.  

The Symbol Removal feature removes the lowest-valued symbol from the reels every time the feature is activated. If the current special symbol is removed, a new Special Symbol will be randomly selected – improving the player's hunt for prizes and hurling them toward the "dessert": The Gamble Round.  

Thematically, Banquet of Dead is visually reminiscent of some of the legacy titles in the Dead series such as last year's Pilgrim of Dead (2023) in terms of its audio-visual presentation. But at its heart, notes Play'n GO, Banquet of Dead harkens back to the classic Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead (2016) in terms of mechanics.

“Thanks to its sharp concept that manifests itself into something holistically unique, Banquet of Dead is already a contender for the future classic mantle,” says the company. 

Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play'n GO, said:  "The Dead series has become an iconic IP that's taken on a life of its own, and we're proud to continue its storyline. The game features Expanding Symbols, a Gamble Round, and Symbol Removal with a new dynamic twist that we think fans will adore." 

Play'n Go asserts that players can prepare themselves for "an unforgettable slot experience" in Banquet of Dead. "The slot game boasts 10 dynamic pay lines and stunning visual effects that will leave players craving more," a statement reads.

The company also recently launched the online slot Legion Gold Unleashed, a sequel to its successful 2023 slot Legion Gold. The new installment continues the narrative from the first game, inviting players to rejoin the garrison across the Mediterranean. The mission remains to amass wealth and fortify the Roman Empire's frontier.
