The Mexican festival called Dia de los Muertos—or Day of the Dead; held around early November—is the basis for the January 2019 video slot Queen of Dead. Themes: commemoration, offerings, skeletons, card values, and remembrance paraphernalia and related decorations.

Its developer Betixon’s game Pirates of Graveland (January 2019) is relatable. Queen of Dead has a sequel titled Cabaret Dancing Bones (November 2019). All symbols require three to five combinations in the 25 fixed left-to-right win lines; the wins range from X2 to X500.
