Dead Man’s Trail Slot Review
Go on a quest for lost pirate treasure in the Dead Man’s Trail slot, a 5 reel, 40 payline game from Relax Gaming. Boasting superb, cinematic design, this hunt for gold comes with some unusual features. There’s a Trail Bonus feature where you’ll collect prizes as you work your way around the board. Look out for Mystery Chests which can award 11 different potential modifiers. Prizes in this round can get as high as 50,000 x stake.
The Game Design of Dead Man’s Trail
The Dead Man’s Trail slot comes with 5 reels, 4 rows and 40 fixed paylines. Create winning combinations by landing 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols or wilds from left to right in a payline, starting from the leftmost reel. With a pirate theme, the design in the Dead Man’s Trail slot is excellent. Set against a backdrop of a port in a storm, there’s a very gritty feel to the imagery here.
Gameplay in Dead Man’s Trail
On the reels, you’ll see lower value A to J royals and 4 rather fearsome looking members of the pirate crew. The best paying symbol is the bald pirate with the scars, tattoos and cutlasses. He pays 1, 5 or 30 x your total stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 across a payline.
Dead Man’s Trail’s Features
With 3 bonus features, the 2 main extras in Dead Man’s Trail are slightly unusual. There’s a Coin feature which can deliver instant win prizes. Potentially more rewarding is the Trail Bonus feature where 11 different modifiers can really get the doubloons flowing.
Our Verdict
The Dead Man’s Trail slot is superbly designed first and foremost. The gritty design delivers plenty of atmosphere and could come straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster movie. When it comes to the gameplay, this pirate adventure is all about the Trail Bonus feature. Get on a decent run with the Mystery Chest modifiers and there could be treasure lurking. I like the One-Eye and Persistent One-Eye modifiers as multipliers up to 5x will be applied to up to 4 tiles.
