About Valley of the Dead

Valley of the Dead is a video slot provided by Yggdrasil, featuring 5 reels, 5 rows, and up to 3125 ways to win. There are 10 regular symbols on the reels: 4 are high-paying and represented by Mythology Characters, while the remaining 6 are lower-paying tokens. The gameplay also includes BoltLock blockers – symbols with a Skull imprint that occupy 12 reel positions until players unlock them by landing winning combinations.

Betting Range

The game supports bets starting from £0.10 up to a maximum of £5 per spin.

Winning Combinations

A win is achieved when 3 or more matching symbols appear on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Additional instances of a winning symbol on a reel multiply the win. For example, if the first reel has 2 winning symbols, the second has 3, and the third has 2, the win is treated as a 3-of-a-kind with a 2 × 3 × 2 = 12x multiplier. The paytable provides payouts for 3, 4, and 5 matching symbols. Only the highest-winning combination per way is paid, and wins from different ways are added together.

Game Features

BoltLock Blockers

During the main game, 12 BoltLock blockers, each displaying a skull symbol, cover certain positions across the reels. Each winning symbol in a combination releases a white Skull, which destroys one BoltLock blocker. When all BoltLock blockers have been removed, any additional winning white Skulls transform into either red or blue Skulls. These are then used to trigger further special features: Win Multipliers and Extra Lives. Once a series of respins concludes, the winnings are paid and the BoltLock blockers return to cover their original 12 positions.

Respins Feature

Each time a winning combination occurs, a respin is awarded. Respins continue as long as new wins are created, and the bet remains the same as the spin that triggered the initial win.

Extra Lives

After all BoltLock blockers are cleared, players are granted 1 extra life. Red Skulls, collected by forming wins with warm-coloured symbols, contribute towards the Extra Lives feature. For every 5 red Skulls collected, 1 additional life is granted. These extra lives provide an additional respin after a non-winning respin, and 1 life is consumed each time this feature is used. Respins end when there are no more wins and no remaining extra lives.

Win Multipliers

When all BoltLock blockers are removed, blue Skulls collected from winning with cold-coloured symbols count towards the Win Multiplier feature. Every set of 5 blue Skulls increases the multiplier by 1. Multipliers accumulate as long as new blue Skulls are collected. The multiplier is displayed close to the Skull collection area and applies to the respin immediately after it is earned (not to the win that unlocks the multiplier). Total winnings, including multipliers, are awarded at the end of the respin series after all possible combinations have been completed and any extra lives have been used.

Calculating Ways to Win

• The slot offers between 45 and 3125 ways to win, depending on the state of the reels.
• Wins require matching symbols on at least 3 consecutive reels starting from the leftmost.
• If a reel contains more than one of the winning symbol, the win is multiplied by the total number of those symbols. For instance, 2 symbols on the first reel, 3 on the second, and 2 on the third yields a multiplier of 2 × 3 × 2 = 12.
• Winning combinations for 3, 4, or 5 matching symbols are detailed in the paytable.
• If there are multiple wins on different ways, the total win is the sum of all these, but only the highest win per way is paid.

Win Rounding Rules

If a payout results in a fraction of a cent, the amount is fairly rounded to the nearest full cent – for example, 0.024 rounds to 0.02, while 0.048 rounds to 0.05. In the event a win is precisely halfway between values (such as 2.5), the win is rounded to the closest even cent: values like 1.5, 3.5, 5.5, 7.5, and 9.5 round up; 0.5, 2.5, 4.5, 6.5, and 8.5 round down. The total win for a session is the sum of all roundings based on the paytable.
