In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is a holy mythical tree that connects worlds and is located at the center of the universe. Yggdrasil is also quite at the center of game developing world and, much like the Nordic tree, their branches extend far and wide and yield impressive fruit. Their choice of name is not the sole reason why it benefits them to produce titles with mythological background. The pantheon of Ancient Egyptian deities was portrayed in slot games quite often, but rarely with such convincing allure and inventive nature.
Theme
Valley of the Gods challenges to likes of Osiris, Horus, Bastet and Hathor and brings them together in an all-encompassing, immersive 5x5 reel video slot with whopping 3125 ways to win. Stunning attention to detail stretches to such elements as a high-quality animated intro to the game before the iconic imagery of old Egypt sets in. Uncompromising graphics reveal a background, accentuated by two pillars that provide a meaning to the game: one where blue scarabs gather and increase multiplier value and the other one where red scarabs grant lives (additional extra spins). Sandy and pastel tones are interrupted by lively and vibrant hues on symbols of four various Gods and Goddesses adorned in different colors. Additional six lower value symbols are the authentic Egyptian hieroglyphs with brightly colored gemstones. Musical undertones are equally gorgeous: gentle orchestral score accompanied by beautiful female vocals, led by instruments akin to the Near East is a tranquil soundtrack to a dynamic gameplay.
Betting Options and Functions
Completing the visual theme, the player panel at the screen's bottom is reminiscent of visual cues taken from Egypt. Bet is always 25 coins per spin, but players can set the coin value all the way from 0.004 to 4.00 (you can choose to view your bet in cash or coin by simply clicking on the coin/cash bet field). Autoplay option is also at hand, with as many as 10 to 1000 spins to be set (or you can set it to go on to infinity, if you have the time).
Right hand-side of the dashboard is completed with the overview of your wins and fund balance. Just above, on the left, five colored buttons provide the necessary info on game's rules, features and pay tables, settings dash with adjustable options such as turning audio on and off, adjusting the spins speed, splash screen, displaying values in coins or currency and so on. You can even view the game history and, if the feature is enabled on the casino's site, you can store your last 10 game rounds.
Features
One of the first things you will notice as you lay your eyes on reels are that slots in the corners of the slot machine are locked and contain 12 blocks with scarab symbols. Those are the blockers. When you land three or more identical symbols adjacent to them, you will destroy them and activate both types of scarabs (extra lives and multipliers). As you eliminate blockers you also get extra spins and for every 5 blue scarabs collected you get one multiplier – similarly, 5 red scarabs grant an extra life. Eliminating all the blockers on screen activates win multipliers and extra lives. As long as players continue collecting scarabs, they will also keep collecting lives.
Every winning combination triggers a respin and if you keep landing winning combos, the extra spins will keep coming as well.
Our Take
Valley of the Gods is a wonderfully amusing game with a phenomenal visual aspect to it, and another one of Yggdrasil's triumphs. With the theoretical return to player standing at 96.2% and a very dynamic gameplay, it should cater for needs of those seeking a bundle of entertainment as well as potential big wins. While there are no mini games and specially designed extra features per se, the game is packed with all sorts of twists and turns that make the main gameplay shine to its fullest.

This slot stands out — clearing blockers to unlock multipliers and extra lives gives a real feeling of progression 🙂. The expanding grid + respins mechanic builds tension: each win feels like a step closer to something big. When the scarabs align and multipliers stack, the wins can be very satisfying 😃. But volatility means you can go through long dry streaks before that big moment 😐. Overall — a beautifully designed slot with a good balance: potential for big hits, but also moderate enough to handle losing runs.

I love and hate it at the same time. It is nice that you can play it with really small bet, but it is hard sometimes to get free spins, and take lot of money until you get those spins, but gaming is like that. Anyway, one of my fav games

Very clean style or respin delivery where ten cents can randomly pay you a 1000 from respins only downside the games greed factor leaves you hitting like 1 for ten spins unless your lucky this game tends to give one of the stacked multipliers but not both so it tends to get going just the to not pay out...and valley of...

This is only game what i play at Yggdrasil. I think this is much similar than reel rush. I won hundreds and i had little bet, but sometimes it is to difficult get free spins so this is not best slot but not worst.

This game has made me lose money and I have played it with very good balance but I have lost with it, I have tried it in different casinos and the result is the same I have lost and I have done it with a low bet to try it and keep it but in the end the full feature takes a long time to appear, in my case I don't like it.

video slot pretty high, but at the same time, it can be frustrating, watching those re-spins almost get to the big wins, but not quite paying out enough to help you stay on top.

A pretty exciting and innovative Yggdrasil game with huge potential for big wins. You unlock more spaces on the screen with each win and hit the free spins once the whole screen is open. Very rarely does it pay the best symbols through but I've still had massive wins, so makes for absolutely huge maximum potential. Good...

This slot can make your money disappear fast, and in long periods at a time. It can also give huge payouts on bets as low as 0,1. But this happens almost never anymore. I liked this slot before, but now it is impossible to get the bonus. When I do get it, I lose at once.

To be fair, the game is not that bad in itself. It looks fine, souns is ok too and the theme is great. What i dislike about this one is how brutal the base game is and how it TEASE you so much left and right you end up kicking something. You know that kind of game super hard to hit but instead of just giving dead spins...

You know that kind of game super hard to hit but instead of just giving dead spins it always give you little hope to then cut it right in your face to the point i just can't stand it anymore, i stay away.

Valley of the gods is not a good game in my opinion. Something feels wrong or not random at all. Every time I get the feature it starts with a dead spin. Netent did it better with Reel Rush, at least you know that you gonna win something decent if you get the feature and not 5 times your bet like on this game. Disappointing!

God, I really dislike this game. Yggdrasil games would eat your money like it's nothing. Most of the times you will lose your money playing their games.

God, I really dislike this game. Yggdrasil games would eat your money like it's nothing. Most of the times you will lose your money playing their games. In rare occasion you will win huge, that's when you're lucky though. Valley of the Gods is a knock-off of Quickspin's Phoenix Sun and NetEnt's Reel Rush but with poor free spins feature. As long I play this game, I've never won above 40 times bet. Great graphics and music but that's all about it.
