Slot games cannot get enough of the mythologies of various parts of the world, and Norse mythology is one of the most popular.The latest slot to take influence from that particular subject is Playtech’s Call of the Valkyries.
About the slot
With five reels and 25 paylines, Call of the Valkyries is playable from 25p to £500 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.This slot is a bonafide visual spectacle, with snow covered mountains in the background, and themed images including axes, helmets, and more on the reels. Lower value symbols are the usual 10, J, Q, K, and A filler symbols.The horn is the highest value symbol, although it will only pay 20x your stake for five on a payline, and the wild symbol replaces all bar the scatter.There’s nothing unique or fresh in terms of the imagery here, but the execution separates Call of the Valkyries immediately from the majority of similarly themed slots.
Gameplay
The Touch of the Valkyries feature can trigger randomly after a losing spin, and will transform all high value symbols into wilds for a guaranteed win.The March of the Valkyries feature (noticing a trend in the names yet?) triggers if wild symbols land stacked on the first or fifth reel, you will then receive respins as the wild Valkyries walk across the reels, the feature ends when no wilds remain on the reels.Land three scatter symbols to trigger the Call of the Valkyries feature, this is a pick and click game where you collect cash prizes and try to avoid demons to reach the gate of Valhalla.The narrative and characters here are fairly derivative, and Playtech have arguably gone a bit too far with the theme, but this is still a fun slot to play and has big wins available for the fortunate.
