Reflex Gaming dances with the dead in Dead Lucky DuoMax™
Reflex Gaming, the UK-based omni-channel gaming supplier, takes players on a vibrant journey to the afterlife in its latest online slot, Dead Lucky DuoMax™, powered by Yggdrasil. Bursting with colour and character, the game is set in a dazzling Día de los Muertos celebration, where skeletons and festive spirits turn every spin into a thrilling party.
Players join the skeleton guitarist, Dead Sheeran as he chases explosive wins in a realm where the dead never sleep.
The game features a dynamic 5-reel, 3-row layout, 243 ways to pay, taking excitement to a whole new level. The DuoMax Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM) is an innovative feature that alternates payout directions with each consecutive win, switching between left-to-right and right-to-left, to create a fast-paced and highly dynamic gameplay experience.
Dead Lucky DuoMax™ also includes a Free Spins Gamble feature. This is activated when 3, 4, or 5 Bonus symbols land or cascade into view during the base game. Players are then given the choice to collect their awarded Free Spins or risk it all in an ‘all or nothing’ gamble for the chance to win more. It’s a bold mechanic that adds a layer of strategy and suspense before the bonus round even begins.
In the base game, every four consecutive dropdowns will trigger the Calavera Bonus, while in Free Spins mode, only three are needed. This bonus delivers one of several potential rewards, each chosen at random—Multiplier Boost, Double Wild, Wild Stack, or even an Extra Life to keep the action going.
The Guitarist Bonus brings unexpected magic to losing spins. At random, Sally Samba, a mischievous winged fairy, may appear after a non-winning spin, burning away an entire reel column and replacing it with new symbols that guarantee a win or trigger Free Spins.
Mat Ingram, Chief Product Officer at Reflex Gaming, said: “Dead Lucky DuoMax™ is all about energy, colour and rhythm — both in theme and gameplay. We’ve taken inspiration from the spirit of Día de los Muertos to deliver a game that’s as joyful as it is volatile. With the DuoMax mechanic, players can expect fast-paced action that rewards the bold.”
