Our verdict
Legacy of Dead is Play'n GO doubling down on what made Book of Dead a phenomenon. Same 5×3, ten-line structure, same Book acting as wild and scatter, same ten free spins on three or more Books — but with crisper art and a slightly higher 96.58% RTP.
The twist is generous: more than one symbol can be selected to expand during free spins, and expansions can stack across the round. Retriggers keep the bonus alive, and the 5,000x ceiling is well within reach when a high-value symbol expands repeatedly.
High-ceiling games reward patience, not chasing. Whatever you play, set a budget first and stake at a level your bankroll can absorb. New to these sites? Start with our slots not on GamStop guide or our non UK casino reviews.

FAQ
Yes — Legacy of Dead is available at casinos licensed outside the UK that are not part of the GamStop network, so a GamStop self-exclusion will not block access.

They share the same core book-slot mechanics, but Legacy of Dead runs a slightly higher RTP (96.58%) and lets multiple symbols be chosen to expand across the free-spins round, with retriggers adding more. That can make its bonus rounds feel a touch more rewarding.
