Dead Mans Trail Slot Game

Relax Gaming's Dead Man's Trail brings an adventurous online slot experience with its 5-reel, 4-row setup, offering players 40 potential ways to score wins. The game's paytable features eight regular symbols, evenly divided between four high-value characters and four lower-value card symbols ranging from Jack to Ace. The high-value symbols consist of an eclectic crew of characters: a heroic figure sporting an eyepatch, a battle-hardened pirate woman, a dubious governor, and a rough individual distinguished by a map tattoo covering his bald head. These characters, though hardly the epitome of trustworthiness, can deliver payouts ranging from 5 to 30 times the stake for securing a full line of five identical symbols. Wild symbols, which offer twice the payout of the top premium for a five-on-a-payline hit, play a dual role by substituting for other paying symbols to facilitate winning combinations.

The game introduces the Coin feature as a straightforward yet engaging addition to the base gameplay. This feature involves special coin symbols that can appear on any reel, each displaying a value that multiplies the player's bet. When coins appear on three or more different reels simultaneously, the game tallies the values on all visible coins and awards the sum to the player, adding a layer of excitement to the standard spinning action.

The highlight of Dead Man's Trail is the Dead Man's Trail Bonus, activated by landing three or more bonus symbols. This bonus round transitions the gameplay from the reels to an adventurous map dotted with a trail that the player navigates. Each turn, the game randomly generates a number between 1 and 9, dictating the number of steps the player's pawn takes along the trail. Each tile on the trail has specific actions tied to it, which are activated when landed upon. After encountering a Normal Tile or Mystery Chest, that tile transforms into an End Tile.

Normal Tiles come with a prize value that players collect as they land on them. Meanwhile, the perilous Skull and Crossbones represent End Tiles; landing on one concludes the bonus feature and the total accumulated prize is awarded to the player. This innovative bonus round adds a strategic element to the game, as players navigate the trail in hopes of avoiding the dreaded End Tiles for as long as possible to maximise their winnings.
