Temple of Dead Bonus Buy Slot by Evoplay

Three buy-in tiers replace the scatter grind: 10 free spins for 75x, 20 for 148x, or 30 for 221x your total bet. The base Temple of Dead already runs on the book-style formula - scatter doubles as wild, one random symbol expands during the bonus - and this version keeps all of that intact. What changes is access. Instead of waiting for three book symbols across a 10-payline grid, you pick your entry point and go straight to the expanding symbol round.

The expanding mechanic works in two stages. Regular wins calculate first on the original reel layout. Then the chosen special symbol stretches to cover all three rows on every reel where it appeared, and a second evaluation runs. Both payout phases add up. The special symbol also connects across non-adjacent reels during this expansion - land it on reels 1, 3, and 5 with gaps in between, and those three still form a valid combination. That rule is easy to miss but it is what pushes multi-reel expansions from decent into high-payout territory, especially on longer free spin runs where retriggering adds another 10 spins each time three scatters land.

Amber stone columns topped with Anubis-styled spear tips border the reels on both sides, with fire flickering at their bases. Four Egyptian priestess characters in gold and crimson headdresses make up the premium symbols against deep blue reel panels, while card royals A through 10 fill the lower end in a metallic ornamental font. The 221x entry on 30 spins is steep, but it front-loads what could otherwise take hours of scatter hunting - and with the non-adjacent expansion rule feeding every bonus round, even mid-tier symbol selections produce layered wins across the full grid.
