About Temple of Dead
Temple of Dead is an Evoplay slot published in January 2021. The studio takes on one of the most established formats on the market, the Egyptian book, and pushes it a long way in terms of potential. The grid runs five reels, three rows and ten fixed paylines. Evoplay publishes an RTP of 95.99%, states high volatility, and gives a maximum win of 755,100 EUR, equal to 10,068 times the stake.
The story follows an explorer sent to recover a sacred book guarded by three priestesses in a forgotten temple. Evoplay leads its own presentation with the potential above 10,000 times the stake, which sets the tone: this title is built around its feature, not around the base game.
The scatter holds a central position. According to the official sheet, it substitutes for every symbol except the expanding special symbol, and it pays from any position on the grid without having to follow a line. That dual role is the signature of the format: a single symbol handles the joker job, the trigger and the payout at once.
Three or more scatters trigger ten free spins. Before the sequence begins, one symbol is drawn at random and becomes the expanding special symbol for the whole feature. During the free spins that symbol can expand across the entire reel it lands on, and it forms combinations even when the reels involved are not adjacent. That last rule is what explains the size of the ceiling: an expansion across several reels pays on all ten lines at once. Fresh scatters landing during the sequence also award additional free spins.
The trade-off is plain and worth weighing before you play: high volatility means the base game returns little, and the outcome of a session turns on reaching the feature and then on which symbol is drawn inside it. A low-value symbol produces a very different sequence from one at the top of the paytable. The stake range recorded on the technical sheets runs from 0.10 EUR to 75 EUR per spin.
The standard version has no bonus buy. Evoplay does publish a separate catalogue release, Temple of Dead Bonus Buy, giving direct access to the free spins; its availability depends on the operator. Specialist databases also note that the title ships with several possible RTP configurations depending on the market. The game is built in HTML5, launches with no installation and exists in 23 languages.
One point is worth stating plainly, because the book format invites the confusion: there is no cascade here. Winning symbols do not drop out and nothing falls in to replace them. The reels land, the ten lines are settled, and the spin closes. Everything that gives Temple of Dead its reach is packed into the free spins and into the symbol drawn for them.
