The Dead Man’s Trail slot is a 5 reel 4-row casino game with 40 paylines, an RTP of 96.29%, and a minimum bet of just 0.10 a spin. You get a wild symbol and a click me trail bonus with a top win of 50,000x your bet.
There’s something to be said for simple high variance games with just one big feature. And that’s exactly what you get with this Dead Man’s Trail mobile slot.
And not just that, you get a beautiful Pirate slot theme that is wonderfully animated. Relax Gaming left nothing out; these buccaneers look like they’ve been through the wars.
You’ve got a scarred man, the grey man, the beautiful woman, and the handsome rogue as high paying and then Ace to J as low paying. In total, that’s only 8 symbols which is incredible for a 40 payline game. It means the win in the base game comes often enough.
Even with those wins that bring a little thrill when you spin, there’s no denying that this sail is a marathon and not a sprint. Relax Gaming has created a volatile game where the point is to get to Treasure Island and follow the Dead Man’s Trail.
Getting to the Dead Man’s Trail slot bonus can be done in one of two ways:
The first option doesn’t show up often. You need to wait a while for it to trigger and so budget wisely. The second is expensive but with a higher RTP you are also more likely to get bigger wins.
There’s only one bonus in this Dead Man’s Trail game, but what a bonus. It’s a simple click me game, but it’s effective because it’s well crafted and you get lots of features.
The basics are pretty simple: you go around and win cash tiles.
Once you’ve landed on a tile it becomes an End Tile. Land on an End Tile and the game ends. And then there are special actions, not unlike the Money Train 2 slot, where you can increase the value of the tiles, reset the tiles, or get instant cash wins.
That’s how you win 50,000x your bet, you just keep increasing those values, and keep going around the treasure island until walk away with all the Pirate Treasure you can find.
For some, use to multi-feature slots such as the Agents of Hearts slot, this may seem like a long wait to just dig in the sand to find nothing. For those in love of treasure and excitement, this will be a swashbuckling adventure where anything can happen.

You can win 50,000x your bet in this Dead Man's Trail slot. That's the big draw here.
In many ways, this reminded us of the original Rainbow Riches slot where you spin to get wins from a decent paytable and then a powerful click-me bonus.
With 40 paylines you really do need to get some lucky shots to make the base game work for you, which (let's be honest) can feel like you are just passing time to get to the bonus.
If luck isn't on your side, this is one slot where buying the bonus may work out in your favour.
