Duel Of The Dead Megaways Review

Kalamba has clearly rolled out the big guns for this release, and Duel Of The Dead Megaways comes across as an above average dynamic reels installment even at first glance. Fans of modern Western movies might recognize a few of the characters, and not least the Leonardo DiCaprio lookalike that seems inspired by a certain viral “Laughing Leo” meme as well. A Jamie Foxx lookalike is also found on the reels, but there were no zombies in that Tarantino movie if memory serves.

This element is all Kalamba in other words, and the Zombies Go Wild feature can be quite lucrative if the female sheriff hits her marks. She fires her shotgun at the zombie wilds that fills reels 2 to 5, and this upgrades their respective multipliers. A Duel plays out if Deadeye Bob shows up, which awards even more multipliers to the zombie wilds. This can lead to payouts up to 20,000x your stake, and this release is well worth a closer look.

Duel Of The Dead Megaways Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 1 and 5 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and you can land the Wild symbol on reels 2 to 6 only. The wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete wins, but it cannot substitute for scatters or extra free spins symbols. Wilds do not appear organically in any stage, however, but they play a central part in the Zombies Go Wild feature.

The top-tier Sheriff symbol triggers the Zombies Go Wild feature each time it lands. This turns all symbols on reels 2 to 5 into Zombie symbols, with scatter symbols as the exception to that rule. The Sheriff will fire her shotgun at different zombie symbols, until the bullet counter above the grid is empty.

Each zombie that gets hit has its multiplier increased by +1. All zombies turn into wilds and/or multiplier wilds in the end, and these are symbol multipliers indicating how many wilds each symbol represents. If you get an x3 zombie wild, for example, this means that it counts as 3 symbols in the win calculation.

A spooky character by the name of Deadeye Bob may appear on the rightmost reel during the Zombie Go Wild feature, and this triggers the Duel feature. Up to 3 zombie symbols gets a multiplier or multiplier upgrade each time Deadeye Bob gets hit, and the Duel is over when the Sheriff takes a hit from Bob. Also Deadeye Bob turns into a wild symbol in the end.

You need 3 scatters anywhere in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and you get 5 free spins from this. You also win +1 extra spin for every extra free spins symbol you land on reels 1, 3, and 5 during the bonus round. If the number of bullets in the counter is higher than the number of wilds in view during the Zombies Go Wild feature, the bullet counter is updated and stored at that level for the duration of the feature.

The Bonus Buy Menu is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. You can choose from 3 options, and they all come with 5 free spins each. Pay 77x your stake for Zombies Go Wild with an RTP of 96.2 %, or pay 183x your stake for Zombies Go Wild + guaranteed Duel with an RTP of 96.81 %. Alternatively, you can pay 98x your stake to get an 80/20 chance of option 1 and 2, and this gives you an RTP of 96.68 %.

Review Summary

We have to say that Kalamba has created an audiovisually impressive combination of Wild West and Zombie slot with Duel Of The Dead Megaways. We like how you get a typical frontier town mainstreet on the left, and an eerie quiet and dark graveyard on the right-hand side. You can count on this developer to be unpredictable and original in their approach, which we also appreciate, and overall they have delivered a pretty solid Megaways release.

The Zombie Goes Wild feature is entertaining to behold for sure, and each shotgun blast these undead creatures take to the chest makes the feature more lucrative as the wild multipliers increase. Once in a while you get the Duel feature to spice things up even more, and the bonus round comes with more of the same. The 20,000x potential is solid enough for sure, so we have no problem recommending Duel Of The Dead Megaways to fans of both the zombie and wild west genre.
