Advantages
- Free Spins with Multiplier
- Big grid with Avalanche function
- x25 000 max win
Disadvantages
- RTP of only 94%
At least on paper, Dead Man’s Gold is successful in a lot of different ways. It has a total of 6 reels, each of which may hold between 4 and 8 symbols, giving players the opportunity to win in one of up to 262,144 different ways. We also really like how this slot has a maximum jackpot that may pay out up to 25,000 times the original bet.
On the other hand, the 94% RTP that was declared for Dead Man’s Gold is a disadvantage, despite the fact that the game’s high volatility was not foreseen. Dead Man’s Gold offers the full betting range that is offered across most of the ELK Studios titles, which means that your next spin might cost anything from C$0.20 to C$100.
We are witnessing another masterpiece, at least as far as design is concerned, from ELK Studios. The game looks gorgeous, starting with the background, which is a secret pirate village somewhere in the tropics with an extremely beautiful waterfall and the remains of pirate ships. Next to the playing field, there are two cannons that come into play. The symbols aren’t the most awesome design we’ve seen, but they are unique and fit the theme great. During the Free Spins round, the action shifts to an underground cave.
Features of Dead Man’s Gold Slot
- The Avalanche feature is activated if a winning combination of any kind is generated. It gets rid of winning positions, making room for new ones to drop and contributing to the formation of new combinations. You may now have as many as 6×8 reels, giving you a total of 262,144 chances to win, up from the previous maximum of 6×4 reels and 4096 ways.
- The Wild sign is one of the special symbols that might appear in the game. It is a replacement that may appear in versions ranging from 1×1 to 3×3.
- The Mega Symbols come in a variety of different sizes, from 2×2 to 4×4, and may occupy up to 16 spots simultaneously.
- As soon as Cannonballs touch down, the cannons attached to them will fire upon Treasure Targets, transforming those targets into additional Wilds. In addition to this, they eliminate any symbols that are next to one another but do not contribute to a victory.
- The Bottomless Chest is an additional modifier that may be used, and it can either add cannonballs, premium symbols, or Wilds to the reels.
- The Free Spins round is the most important feature, and it may award up to 25 of them when three or more Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. You get a multiplier and some of the modifiers that we just stated, but they are always at your disposal in this instance.
- You have 5 options from the X-iter Bonus Buy menu. The prices vary from x5 for the Guaranteed Mega symbol to x500 for Super Bonus.

Our opinion
The game is quite interesting mostly because of its large grid and avalanche feature. Thanks to these two, we manage to get several winning combinations in a row. Also very useful are the cannon blasts, which give Wild symbols and thus increase our chances of a payout. From the Bonus Buy menu, you can purchase various features as well as two types of Free Spins, with the more expensive option having guaranteed cannons with no ammo limit and sticky targets.
ELK Studios does not let its customers down, and they have provided us with a slot machine that has lots to do and a collection of unique features that should make the experience pleasurable for the majority of players. Even if you won’t grow tired of playing it, the game’s return to player percentage of 94% is probably going to discourage you from playing it in the long term.
