Valkyrie

Valkyrie Slot Review

Get ready to join the battle between Asgard and its enemies. Fight bravely for if you die your fate will be in the hands of the Valkyries. Will you die like a hero and ascend to Valhalla or try to flee like a coward? Beware, choosing the latter will grant you a trip to the dreadful fires of Helheim.

After a short animated trailer, the player is greeted with the actual slot. The background consists of what appears to be Helheim as the flowing lava rivers, burned trees, and uneven hills are lit by the ominous purple sky. On the left side of the screen, you’ll find Freja, standing near the reels which are encased in a silver border decorated with Nordic patterns. The logo of the game is located right on top of them.

As for the mechanics, Valkyrie operates like a classic slot as the reels spin altogether and stop individually in a consecutive fashion. Winning symbols briefly become animated as they also trigger an audio effect.

If you’re a fan of Nordic-themed slots then we recommend you also check out NetEnt’s “Hall of Gods” as it’s based on an almost identical premise. For now, let’s see how Valkyrie is played.

How to Play Valkyrie

The game has 4 rows and 5 reels with 1,024 ways to win. The controls can be found at the screen’s corners allowing you to select bet size, spin, set autoplay parameters, or enter an in-game menu for even further customization.

Clicking on the bet selector you’ll be presented with four preset betting strategies you can use. If activated, each of them will automatically tweak your bet based on your current budget and last few spins.

Bets start at $0.20 and go up to a maximum of $100.

Valkyrie is a high volatility slot with the highest possible payout of $500,000 or 5,000x bet.

The first are represented by card values J-A, followed by the medium-paying symbols which come in the form of a sword handle, a wolf’s head, a scaled snake, and a gauntlet.
