Where to play Life and Death — 96.36% RTP, free demo and specs

Inside the game

Captured in the studio's own free demo on 11 September 2026. Nothing below is taken from a press release or another site — it is what the game shows when you open it.

The base game — Life and Death — The base gameSix reels of five symbols in a gothic nave, a hooded reaper on either side of the grid. Four coloured, numbered arches cap reels 2 to 5 — blue I, red II, yellow III, green IV — while reels 1 and 6 stay grey; three Horsemen have already landed on screen, the yellow one on reel 2, the blue on reel 3 and the green on reel 5. The round green BUY BONUS button sits in the bottom-left corner, next to DEMO BALANCE €5,000.00 and DEMO BET €2.00.

Features — Life and Death — FeaturesThe first page of the GAME INFO panel, opened right at the top — the yellow scroll marker is pinned to the top of the bar on the right. It sets out a 6-reel, 5-row game with payline wins and a ceiling of 15,000 times the bet, then details the four Wild Multipliers in the exact order of the picture strip placed under the text: Blue Pestilence, reel 2, 2x to 4x; Red War, reel 3, 5x to 9x; Yellow Famine, reel 4, 10x to 25x; Green Death, reel 5, up to 200x.

Game rules, page 2 — Life and Death — Game rules, page 2In the middle of the page, the DEVASTATION emblem: exactly three engraved FS banners, the base-game trigger, opening 10 free spins that keep the base game mechanics with an increased chance of Wild Multipliers. Under the picture, the retrigger scale — 2 FS award 2 more spins, 3 FS award 4 — then the RECKONING heading at the foot of the page, the four-FS one.

Game rules, page 3 — Life and Death — Game rules, page 3The same emblem, but four FS banners this time, two and two: this is RECKONING, which takes in the base game and DEVASTATION and adds persistent Death Reels — a Wild Multiplier landing on its own reel activates it, and that Wild then expands into a Wild Reel on any of the four central reels. The pay table starts at the bottom of the page with the five gothic letters and their bands in green figures: six 10s pay 6.00, six J, Q or K pay 10.00, six A pay 20.00 at the current bet.

Game rules, page 4 — Life and Death — Game rules, page 4The second half of the pay table, five picture symbols in a row with four bands each — 6, 5, 4, 3: eye-heart and chalice at 30.00 for six, sun and eye-in-hand at 50.00, radiant face at 100.00, at the current bet. The text then notes that Wild Multipliers and FS symbols alike land only on reels 2 to 5, and the last readable line, half swallowed by the bottom of the frame, gives the figure that matters: the number of possible lines in this game is 19.

Bonus buy — Life and Death — Bonus buyThe 19 lines drawn one by one, as green cells on empty grids of six columns and five rows: seven diagrams on the first row, seven on the second, five on the last. Below, the BONUS BUY section gives the RTP mode by mode: 96.29% for BONUSHUNT FEATURESPINS and for FOUR HORSEMEN FEATURESPINS alike, 96.32% for DEVASTATION, 96.31% for RECKONING.

Game rules, page 6 — Life and Death — Game rules, page 6The controls page, recognisable by its two icons centred between the paragraphs: the double chevron of the bet selector, then the circular arrow of the SPIN button — the same two that show, at that very moment, in the game bar at the bottom of the screen. It gives the bet limits, from €0.10 to €50.00, which feature buys are allowed to exceed, and notes that only the highest win per winning way is paid.

Game rules, page 7 — Life and Death — Game rules, page 7The ceiling, then the automatic settings, with the autoplay icon in the middle of the page — an arrowed circle around a play triangle, twin of the button sitting to the right of SPIN in the game bar. The text warns that the maximum win of 15,000 times the bet closes the round on the spot and forfeits any remaining free spins, then lists the advanced-mode limits: number of plays, total session loss, single win.

Game rules, page 8 — Life and Death — Game rules, page 8The densest page of the panel: the keyboard shortcut list fills the whole top half of the screen on its own, one dashed line per command, from SHIFT + S for sound to SHIFT + F1 to F4 which jump straight to the FeatureSpins confirmation page. Below it three green headings follow one another — ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, HISTORY, GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS — and the last line fades to grey, cut off flush with the frame.

Game rules, page 9 — Life and Death — Game rules, page 9The bottom of the panel, reached: the scroll marker touches the foot of its bar on the right. After the general terms — malfunction voids all pays and plays, a reel on screen is not a physical device — the footer delivers what no rules text states: rules generated on 25 June 2026 at 09:10 UTC, game version 1.0.0, server version 2.0.317, and the studio's site link in green, centred.

Buying the feature — Life and Death — Buying the featureThe BONUS BUY panel, bet frozen at €2.00 in the white box at the top, and four cards side by side. The two on the left carry an orange ACTIVATE button: BONUSHUNT FEATURESPINS at €6.00, making each spin 5 times more likely to trigger a bonus, and FOUR HORSEMEN FEATURESPINS at €120.00, guaranteeing at least 3 Wild Multipliers but barring FS symbols. The two on the right carry a green BUY button: DEVASTATION at €200.00 and RECKONING at €400.00, the latter with its Death Reels already activated.
