Valley of the Gods 2 Slot RTP & Info
The action in the Valley of the Gods 2 slot begins on a 6 reel machine. The open symbol positions are set up in a 1x2x3x4x5x2 formation. These offer 240 ways to create a winner by landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjoining reels, starting from reel 1.
Bet levels here start at 10p per spin, rising to a maximum of £100 per spin. You can set between 10 and 1,000 autospins as required. To set win and loss limits, you’ll need to adjust via the settings tab rather than the autoplay. You can also set spin speed from here.
The Valley of the Gods 2 RTP is 96.2% which is pretty standard. We found the action to be rather volatile. The hit rate is 17.7% so you’ll land a winning spin about once every 5 spins. The maximum payout is 6,432x your total stake which will come when you fully expand the reel set to offer 20,160 ways to win.
Valley of the Gods 2 Theme – head to ancient Egypt
This recreation of an ancient Egyptian valley is beautifully done. Flanked by ornate pillars and palm trees, the visuals are very nicely done and have Yggdrasil Gaming’s instantly recognisable style. There’s a catchy, Arabian-style soundtrack playing in the background while you spin. It’s an ideal fit for both the theme and the gameplay offered in Valley of the Gods 2.
The reels are made up of lower value A to 9 royal symbols and 4 higher paying Egyptian hieroglyph symbols. You’ll see head-style statues of the jackal god Anubis, the bird god Horus and the crocodile god Sobek. The top standard symbol is the cat god Bastet which pays 2, 4, 10 or 20 x your bet if you land 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination. The Cleopatra-style queen is the wild. She of course, appears fully stacked during the re-spins.
Valley of the Gods 2 is available to play on tablet and mobile devices as well as desktop and laptop computers. The high-class sound and visuals make it well suited to mobile play. The gameplay is a little unusual but it works well overall.
Valley of the Gods 2 Bonus Features
The gameplay in Valley of the Gods 2 is very different from your common or garden slot. The reel grid is an unusual shape and it’s filled with blockers. Winning combinations award re-spins and open up new reel positions. They can also bring other goodies into play.
Re-Spins feature
Land a winning combination and you’ll receive a couple of rewards in addition to the standard payout. You’ll get a re-spin. You’ll also notice that some of the blocked symbols are now open. This expansion also increases the number of ways you can form a winner. The re-spins keep on coming as long as a new winning combination hits. Fully expanded, the reels are now in a 3x4x5x6x7x8 formation and offer 20,160 ways to win.
Scarab Collections features
Once fully expanded, you’ll activate the Scarab Collections features. Winning symbols can come with special scarabs attached. When they’re part of a winner, they’re collected in a meter. Fill the meters to bring some tasty extras into play:
Win Multipliers feature
Spins on the fully unlocked reels start with a 2x multiplier. For every 5 blue scarabs collected in the meter, the multiplier increases by 1x. This multiplier remains in play for the rest of this round of re-spins or gets higher if you collect more scarabs.
Extra Lives feature
The red scatter awards an extra life once you’ve collected 5 of them. If you have a winless re-spin, you’ll use your extra life to continue the round.
Wild Reels feature
It’s the gold scarabs that you’re after here. Once you have amassed 5 of them, 1 reel will turn totally wild. This wild locks in place for any re-spins you have left.
Once you’ve run out of lives, you’ll return to the original reels which are filled with blockers and offer the minimum 240 ways to win. All the multiplier and wild extras are reset too.
Valley of the Gods 2 Thoughts/Opinion – cracking trip back to the land of the ancients
With so many slots with the ancient Egyptian theme to choose from already, trying to create something original can be a tricky business. Yggdrasil Gaming has managed that with this slot sequel though. The gameplay here really is different.
It might lack a traditional free spins feature but the re-spins and the extra wilds and multipliers that come with them when you clear the whole of the reels can deliver some cracking action. If you enjoy the Egyptian theme and like playing slots with classy design and original features, you’ll find plenty to like in Valley of the Gods 2.
If you prefer simpler ancient Egyptian action, you have the Book of Ra Deluxe slot from Novomatic or the Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead slot by Play ‘n GO which are both excellent.
