Pragmatic Play · 2023
Kingdom of The Dead is a high volatility 5x3 video slot from Pragmatic Play. It has an RTP of 96.07% and a top win of x10,000 your bet.
The demo costs nothing. Real play needs an account and you must be 18+.
On the 5x3 reels, a hunter, a pharaoh death mask, Anubis and a golden winged scarab on a glowing book sit beside the card symbols A, K, Q, J and 10. The theme blends adventure, Egyptian and mythology. A win needs only two matching symbols, the fewest that pay here, and the paytable shows what each symbol returns in money.
Three or more golden scarabs on glowing books start the Free Spins round with 10 spins. Before it begins, you pick a fixed mystery symbol for the whole round or a random one that changes each spin. Expanding symbols fill all three rows on their reels and pay even on non-adjacent reels, and three or more scatters in the round add 10 more spins.

Kingdom of The Dead
Most players worry they will miss how the bonus starts, so each mode below shows the trigger.
3+ wild or scatter book scarabs start 10 free spins. Pick a fixed mystery symbol, drawn randomly for the round, or a random one each spin. After regular payouts it expands to fill all 3 rows and pays even on non-adjacent reels. 3+ scatters retrigger 10 more spins, no retrigger limit.
Base game spin10 free spins
The round starts at once, without waiting for book scarabs to land. At the example top bet of A$10 it costs A$1,200, which is 120 times the bet. Once bought, the round plays as Free Spins, starting with 10 free spins.
Base game spinFree Spins round
More scatters land on the reels at 15x, which raises the natural chance of Free Spins. It disables Buy Free Spins. Ante Bet is optional, and it costs 1.5 times the base bet, which is A$15 at the example top bet of A$10. Normal play is 10x.

Each spin on the 5x3 reels adds to a long-run average called RTP, the share of staked money paid back. Figures use A$100 staked. The version Rocket Casino runs is shown in the game rules.

Five steps per round
Read this before you play when you want to know how a round runs.
The reels stay still until you pick a stake from A$0.10 up to A$375. A$0.40 and A$10 are only examples, and the stake you pick sets the maximum win.
Symbols that match land on the 5x3 grid, and two of them are enough to pay. The paytable shows what each symbol pays for an A$0.40 bet.
The golden winged scarab on glowing book stands in for other symbols and counts as a scatter. Ante Bet multiplies the stake by 1.5, so the A$10 top bet costs A$15.
Three or more golden winged scarabs on glowing books land anywhere on the grid and start 10 free spins. Before the round starts, you choose a fixed or random mystery symbol.
The reels keep spinning until you stop, so set your limit before the first spin. Choose your stake and session length first, and stop when that limit is reached.
Preview the reels
Not sure what the reels look like before the first spin? These screens show it.
Each spin lands a fresh set of symbols, and three or more book scarabs can start the free spins anywhere on the reels. How often that happens is not known in advance. The RTP is a long-run average, so one session can end far above or far below it, and the result of a session is random at any RTP.
Every spin on the 5x3 grid is settled under one RTP version. Which version this site runs is shown only in the game rules, so read that line before the first spin. Once the rules are open, you can also check how the paid features are described there, and whether the version matches the figures on this page.
Two matching symbols on the reels are the fewest that pay. The top prize is 10,000 times the bet, and that ceiling is reached very rarely. Treat it as the most the game can pay, not as a result to expect from any session.
Two things to know
This block shows whether to start with the demo or move straight to real money play.
Each demo spin runs on the same reels, needs no money and pays nothing; the real game needs an account with us and the legal age of 18+.
PlayPlayers must be 18+. Get help from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, or self-exclude through BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you open the game, and keep that amount in your head for every spin.
Pick the point where you stop before the first spin, and keep to it when a win arrives, not only when a loss does.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you play, so the amount is capped even if you keep spinning.
If the game stops being fun, take a break, and if the urge to keep playing stays, self-exclude through BetStop.
Clear rules, no guesswork
The worry most players bring here is how the bonus starts and what it costs.
Three or more wild or scatter book-scarab symbols anywhere start the Free Spins round with 10 spins. You then pick a fixed or random mystery symbol before the round begins. Landing three scatters during the round adds 10 more spins, with no limit on retriggers.
The smallest bet is A$0.10 and the largest is A$375. The paytable uses A$0.40 as its reference bet. Ante Bet costs 1.5 times the stake, so A$10 becomes A$15, and it makes Free Spins trigger more often.
This slot is set to a 96.07 percent RTP, and it comes in one version only. RTP is an average across very many spins, so it does not predict one session. The high volatility means wins arrive in bigger, less frequent swings.
Buy Free Spins lets you start the round directly, for A$1,200 at a A$10 bet. That is 120 times the stake, and the price moves with your bet. The 15x Ante Bet setting turns the buy option off.
