Day of Dead: how the walking wild really moves

A Pragmatic Play slot where every wild stretches up its reel and then walks left, one respin at a time. Here is what the screens and rules pages actually say.

Day of Dead base game: 5 by 4 reels of guitars, maracas, painted skull faces, a green WILD and a skull SCATTER, with a Buy Free Respins box on the left

Watch the green WILD on reel 4. When it lands it swells to fill the whole reel, the game pays, and then the wild steps one reel to the left and the reels spin again. It keeps walking until it falls off the left edge. That one behaviour is Day of Dead.

The theme is a Mexican graveyard at night. Reel symbols are guitars, maracas, drums, painted skull faces (a woman with roses, a man in a sombrero) and card suits drawn as sugar-skull hearts and diamonds. The scatter is a skull with the word SCATTER across its jaw.

The bet menu is the Pragmatic standard: coins per line, coin value, total bet, each with a minus and plus. It says "Betting on 20 lines" at the top, and lines are fixed. Page 4 of the rules gives the limits: minimum bet 0.20, maximum 100.00. The screenshots are from a dollar demo holding 100,000 in credit, so ignore the size of those numbers.

What the rules pages say

Scatters only land on reels 1, 3 and 5, and only in the base game. Three of them start the free respins. The round begins with two collectable wild balls already stored in a bar at the top. When a respin starts, balls drop onto random reels as expanded walking wilds. More balls can land during the feature and get collected, then sent back down later. Special reels are used. The round ends when no expanded wilds are left on screen and the bar is empty.

Five bolts out of five. The page spells it out: high volatility pays less often, with bigger hits in short bursts. RTP is listed as 96.49%, or 96.50% if you buy the free respins. The page before it caps wins at 4,500x the bet; hit that inside the feature and the round ends there and then.

The buy box on the left of the main screen costs 100x your total bet. At RM1 a spin that is RM100 for one feature, so think twice.

In the last shot the wild has walked all the way to reel 1 and the multiplier on the left reads 2X.

If you like this style, Candy Village is a gentler Pragmatic game with a very different pace. Everything else from the studio is on the Pragmatic Play page. Your agent can set you up with a Pragmatic Play ID.

High volatility plus a buy button is a fast way through a budget. Adults 18+ only; online gambling is restricted in Malaysia, and these limit-setting tips are worth a minute.

Questions people ask

How much is the buy in Day of Dead?

100x your total bet. The demo had a 100.00 bet, so the box on the left read 10,000.

Can I lose the walking wild respins?

They stop once the last expanded wild walks off the left edge. Each step pays whatever lines are made, which may be nothing.
