Dead Bride: Slot Review and Free Play Demo

Dead Bride Review

Barbara Bang had only about 30 games in their catalog at the time of writing, but they are by no means an inexperienced company that’s not worth the bother. Quite the contrary – they are an ambitious team that keeps improving with essentially every single release, and the Dead Bride slot looks like yet another step in the right direction for them. So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at its ins and outs, starting with its playing field. It consists of 5 reels, 7 rows, and as many as 421 connecting paylines, which is a rather unorthodox configuration!

The theme of Dead Bride builds on the famous Mexican Day of the Dead festival, and we have to say that the game’s visual design is colorful and interesting. There are quite a few subtle animations, too, and the overall experience is atmospheric and just great outright!

Dead Bride Slot – Reels Screen

Moving on, we can tell you that Dead Bride is a medium-high volatility slot, and that it offers a 1,819x jackpot. Its hit frequency is rather low, though, clocking in at just 12.07%. The minimum that you can play for is then £0.10, while high rollers can risk up £500 per spin at select casinos. Finally, the theoretical RTP of Dead Bride is 95.93%, which is a tiny bit below average.

Dead Bride Slot Features

There are 8 pay symbols in the Dead Bride slot, and they are divided evenly into low-paying symbols and high-paying symbols. For low-paying symbols, there are card ranks from Jacks to Aces, and these pay up to 0.6x your bet per combination. For high-paying symbols, meanwhile, there are four colorful characters, which can pay up to 5x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combo. Such payouts might look low, but it’s worth remembering that there are 421 ways to win in total.

There are 4 special symbols in Dead Bride - Wilds, Bride Wilds, Groom Wilds, and Scatters.

Dead Bride Slot – Free Spins Feature

Now – basic Wilds are just basic Wilds, which means that they can substitute for any of the pay symbols in winning combinations. They can also net you a 5x payout in a set of five, which is rather pleasant. Bride Wilds, on the other hand, can appear only on reel 5, and landing one together with a Groom Wild will connect the two symbols in a way that will leave a trail of basic Wilds behind.

Landing 3 Scatters on the middle three reels then triggers the Free Spins feature with 8 free spins, and those are entirely straightforward.

Review Summary

The Dead Bride slot is certainly a step in the right direction for Barbara Bang, and it’s a pleasant, if a bit too straightforward experience. The idea with Bride Wilds and Groom Wilds is neat and thematic, but it’s a bit of a shame that the designers didn’t do a bit more with the game’s free spins. In any case, it’s a fine game, and there’s every chance that you’ll have a good time with it!
