Valhalla Gold Slot ᐈ Demo game + Review

Valhalla Gold Review

2by2 Gaming is one of those Microgaming partners where the visual style is in a weird world of its own. You can’t exactly call Valhalla Gold a dated-looking slot, but it’s pretty far from a typical modern presentation also. The game comes with some decent animation though, and the hammer wielding viking maiden on the left-hand side is looking mighty hot in her ornamented one-piece armour.

As for the features, the Reel Copy expanding reel set thing triggers on a regular basis, keeping the base game interesting with the possibility of decent payouts up to 800x your stake. The possibility of winning up to 200 free spins is another thing that makes this title stick out, and anything above 25 spins presents you with somewhat of a dilemma given the 4 options that then become available.

Valhalla Gold slot Features

The dressed-up viking lady on the left-hand side also features on the wild symbol, and she steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos. The viking lady wild is the highest payer in the game, awarding 16x your stake for 5 on a payline.

All symbols, including the wild and the bonus scatter, can land fully stacked on the reels. If you land a full stack on reel 1, you trigger the Reel Copy feature. The stack from reel 1 will then be cloned onto potentially all the remaining reels. If this leads to a win, the reel set expands to 5×6 with 50 paylines. Keep in mind that you need at least 2 adjacent stacks onwards from reel 1 to win.

The Bonus Round is triggered when you land at least 3 bonus scatters on a payline. You get 5, 6 or 8 free spins when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters on a payline, respectively. However, you will in many cases get a lot more spins than that. If you land stacks of bonus scatters, you can rack up as much as 200 free spins due to the 25 paylines, and the fact that the number of spins are added together from each payline win.

You get a smaller scatter win also, awarding 1x your stake for 5 on a payline as the biggest single payline payout. If you win at least 25 free spins, you get to choose from 4 different options as follows:

• Regular spins – gives you the number of free spins you won, plain and simple.
• Easy feature – awards half the free spins you won, but you will trigger the reel copy feature more frequently (no stats are given for how frequently, unfortunately).
• Super free spins – gives you 1/3 of the spins you won, but all wins are boosted by a 3x multiplier.
• Mega free spins – gives you 1/5 of the spins you won, but all wins are subject to 5x multiplier.

The 200 Spins Valhalla Gold slot Experience

We triggered the reel copy feature a couple of times, but nothing too exciting happened in the base game. Around 2:50 into the 5 and a half minute highlights video, we trigger the bonus round with 80 free spins. We decided to trade them in for 16 mega spins with a 5x multiplier instead, and you can see how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

If you can get over the somewhat strange visual style, which is neither dated nor modern, but in a category of its own, Valhalla Gold dishes up some pretty decent gameplay. The stacked reel copy feature reminds us a bit of the ‘Book of’ mechanic, and it can spice up the base game with decent payouts for sure. Nothing extraordinary usually, but the expanding reels and everything makes for an entertaining spectacle when it happens.

We also like the somewhat innovative twist of having free spins added together for up to 200 spins at the most, and winning more than the 25 free spins threshold didn’t seem that hard to us. The Easy feature is your best bet if you want to secure some decent wins, as both the multiplier options are way more volatile, and they might leave with little to nothing to show for.
