How Dead Man's Trail plays
A 40-line pirate slot. Coin symbols on three or more reels trigger the Coin Feature, which pays the total of the visible coins. Three bonus symbols open the Trail Bonus, a map board where each turn moves 1 to 9 steps and every tile does something: multipliers, collection symbols, random coin wins or an ending.
Theme: Pirates, treasure map. Filed under Adventure and exploration.
Features in this game
- Multipliers: A value such as ×2 or ×10 applied to a win, a spin or a whole feature, multiplying the amount paid.
- Money collect: A mechanic where cash-value symbols pay out when a collector symbol lands, gathering all their values at once.
What the figures mean
An RTP of 96.29% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.71%, so every £100 staked costs £3.71 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £7.42, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
The provider rates volatility as High. That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.
