    About Day of Dead

    Released in October 2018, Day of Dead is one of Pragmatic's most iconic Mexican-themed slots, built around Día de los Muertos (the Mexican Day of the Dead, celebrated November 1-2). Format 5x4 / 20 paylines, RTP 96.49%, max 4,500×.

    The visual universe is premium Mexican: colorfully decorated skulls (calaveras), orange cempasúchil flowers, a dominant blue-purple-orange palette with a mystical, festive atmosphere. Mechanics: Stacked Wilds (high-value symbols stacked together), random Free Spins multipliers, and NO bonus buy available (a 2018-era slot).

    Availability: Day of Dead is widely distributed — available at both regulated and offshore online casinos. For fans of Día de los Muertos culture looking for a thematic Pragmatic slot, it's the obvious choice. Also see Hot Fiesta (Mexican Pay Anywhere), Chilli Heat (Mexican Hold & Win), and Fiesta Fortune (Mexican sticky wilds).
