About Dead Man’s Trail

Played across 5 reels, 4 rows with 40 ways to win, bets range from 10p-£20 per spin. It has an RTP of 96.29% and is available to play across all devices.Pirate themed slots are popular but this one is bit more sinister in terms of both visuals and design. The reels are encased in a rope frame and sit on backdrop of a misty harbour with a wooden building on the left and a pirate ship on the right. The spine-chilling soundtrack adds an eerie atmosphere throughout.On the reels are the low value Jack-Ace royals, a female pirate and 3 male pirates, these are worth from x5-x30 for 5 on a payline. The gold W is the wild and can substitute all others barring the pirate ship bonus symbol and the special gold coin.

Gameplay

Gold coins come with a cash value attached, they appear on the reels randomly during the base game. Landing at least 3 see the values of all coins in view added up and paid out.Land at least 3 pirate ship symbols to trigger the Dead man’s Trail Bonus game. You now play on a new screen and a map with 37 tiles, normal tiles show cash prizes, the skull and daggers are end tiles and there’s also mystery chests. When you land on a tile it transforms into an End tile. To begin your quest a random number of moves between1-9 are generated where you move along the trail. This repeats until you land on an end tile, the values of all the coins landed on are then added together and paid out.Now things get even more interesting, if you land on a start tile all end tiles are transformed into normal tiles, and then there are the mystery chests which award one of the following modifiers:Scout- increases the value of a random normal tile by +100-+1,000One-eye- the value of 2-4 random tiles are multiplied by x2-x5Commander- increases the value of all normal tiles by +3 to +5Collector- adds the value of all normal tiles to the total winCollect & Command- adds the value of all normal tiles to every normal tile and also the win totalReset- all End tiles are transformed into normal tilesSuper Reset- transforms all End tiles into mystery chestsCoin Win- a random win amount of x25-x50 is added to the win totalPersistent Scout – works the same way as the Scout but is active at the end of each movePersistent One-eye- works the same way as One-eye but is active at the end of each movePersistent Commander- works the same way as Commander but is active at the end of each move.
