Dead Man’s Trail Slot Review
Thousands of pirates have fallen on their way to find lost treasures. Will you be the one to walk on their steps and succeed in unveiling the hidden riches? Remember, luck favors the brave!
As always Relax Gaming has managed to create a stunning slot featuring amazing visuals. As soon as you launch the game, after a quick animated intro, you will be welcomed to the pirate cove, a small town where pirates live and take care of their ships. A slight fog covers the whole area while the waving pirate flags set the ominous mood. The reel set is complemented by a rope outline while the game’s logo is visible in the top left corner.
As for the mechanics, the game mostly operates like any other classic slot with the reels spinning altogether and coming to stop individually in consecutive order from left to right. Special symbols enhance the otherwise seemingly dull gameplay.
Pirate-themed slots are one of the most popular game genres in the industry. You can easily find tens if not hundreds of titles featuring them but if you want our opinion, we recommend you check out 1429 Uncharted Seas by Thunderkick and Boom Pirates by Microgaming which features up to more than ten million possible ways to win. For now, though, let’s find out how the game in question works!
How to Play Dead Man’s Trail
The game consists of 4 rows and 5 reels with 40 fixed paylines. As with other slots from the same developer, the controls can be found at the bottom of the interface allowing you. to adjust the bet size, enable the autoplay and quick spin functions, check out the paytable as well as the game’s rules, or simply spin.
Dead Man’s Trail features 4 low paying and 4 high paying symbols. The first come in the form of card values J-A followed by the scout, the commander, one-eye, and the collector.
The game’s special symbols are:
- Wild – The wild substitutes for all regular symbols, excluding special ones, to form or improve upon winning combinations.
- Bonus – Represented by the pirate ship, getting 3 of these symbols will trigger the trail bonus feature.
- Coins – Special symbols that indicate a bet multiplier.
Game Rules
Dead Man’s Trail Features
Thanks to the nature of this game, the classic free spin feature has been swapped with a slightly more exciting mini-game. Let’s check this as well as any other feature out!
Upon entering the bonus game, you will be presented with a mini-map consisting of multiple tiles and mystery chests. The pawn moves 1-9 steps per turn. Based on which tile you land you will receive the following:
- Normal tile – Awards the indicated value
- Start tile – Triggers the reset special action
- Mystery chest – Triggers 1 of 11 special actions
- End tile – Ends the bonus and the total win is awarded
As for the special actions, those are:
- Scout – Adds 100x to 1,000x to a random normal tile
- Persistent scout – Works like the scout but acts at the end of every turn
- One-eye – Multiplies the value of a normal tile with 2x-5x, repeats 2-4 times
- Persistent one-eye – Works like the one-eye but acts at the end of every turn
- Commander – Adds 3x-5x to all normal tiles
- Persistent commander – Works like the commander but acts at the end of every turn
- Collector – Collects the sum of the value of all normal tiles
- Collect and command – Adds the total summed up value of all normal tiles to each normal tile as well as adding it to the total win
- Reset – Replaces all end tiles with normal tiles
- Super reset – Replaces all end tiles with temporary mystery chests
- Coin win – Awards a random 25x-50x coin win
After a normal or temporary mystery chest tile has been visited, it turns into an end tile. Each normal tile is capped at 10,000x.
A scout, a one-eye, and a commander can upgrade the associated persistent action by adding their revealed value to the value of an active persistent action.
The trail bonus game can be purchased for the cost of 100x your active stake.
This feature is triggered when landing coin symbols on three or more reels. The player is awarded the summed value of all visible coins.
