By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 10 June 2026

Gong Gaming in partnership with Microgaming, have released a new slot called Skulls Heap. Features include multipliers, wilds, free spins, scatters and a top prize worth x3,000 your wager.

Slot details

Themed on the Mexican Day of the Dead, Skulls Heap is a 6 reel videos slot with 4,096 ways to win. It has a high variance and is playable across all devices from 40p per spin up to £80 per spin.The reels are separated by bones and have a string of bright lights across the top. They sit on a bright purple backdrop with a row of houses across the bottom.Symbols are brightly coloured Ace to 9 royals, a bottle of Tequila, a guitar, a trio of candles sitting on a base of flowers, and the skull. The ruby heart is the wild symbol and can substitute all others barring the game logo scatter.

Gameplay

The wild symbol can only land on the 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th and 6^th reels.Landing 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols on the same spin will activate the free spins feature and you will receive 8, 15, 25 or 100 free spins respectively. Any wilds landing during the feature will have multiplier worth up to x5 your wager attached.Landing a further 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters will award you with another 5, 8, 15, 25 and 100 free spins respectively, and there are no limits to the amount of re-triggers you can get.

Verdict

The design is bright and bold, and the game is fun to play with a nice Mexican soundtrack. The RTP is set at 96.04%. The bigger wins will come in the free spins round with the help of the multiplier wilds, but the top prize of x3,000 of your wager might not appeal to a lot of players.
