In Norse mythology, Odin is one of the most important gods. The valkyries, on the other hand, were female entities who decided who would die in battle. Half of those who die in battle would go to Freyja, and the other half would go to Valhalla to be ruled over by Odin. Along these lines, the valkyries would be seen as a sort of royalty in a lot of ways, and this forms the basis of the concept behind the Valkyries of Odin video slot by StakeLogic.

Layout and Format

The format of this game is a little different than the usual with five reels, four rows and 30 paylines. We typically see the 5x4 layout reserved for 40-payline games, and 30-payline titles typically go the 5x3 way, which sets this game apart to a degree. You'll wager up to 10 coins per payline for a betting range of 30 to 300 coins per spin, and the coins themselves range from $0.01 to $0.20 apiece. The minimum bet size along these lines is $0.30 per turn, and you can wager as much as $60 per spin as well.

Giant Mecha Valkyrie Feature

The Valkyries of Odin logo symbols are the key to a big bonus feature. When you collect a total of 10 of them on the reels (they don't have to all be on the same spin), you get a set of 10 free spins. These free turns play out on a different set of reels, and that set of reels includes Giant Mecha Valkyries as well. When it shows up on the screen, it will always cover the entire reel with wilds, and they will appear on the center three reels only. This is a great opportunity to get big winning combinations with all of those extra wild symbols.

Dragon Battle Feature

If you've ever wanted to have an epic battle with a dragon, then this is your chance. When you get three or more of the dragon bonus symbol anywhere on the reels, you'll get a shot at the Beast Battle Feature. This is also a free spins feature, and the number of free spins you get depends on how many dragons you used to trigger it. Three of this scattered bonus symbol rewards you with 10 free spins. Four will get you 20 free spins, and five is worth 30 free spins.

In this feature, you get some extras to give you more value. First off, you'll be given more ways to win since all paylines pay in both directions instead of just left-to-right. Additionally, you'll get another set of reels that gives you better winning chances. These two extras compound the value of each other to give you a tremendous amount of value overall.

Wild Symbols

The wild symbol in this game appears on every reel, and it gives you some good payouts in addition to helping you with other winning combinations. Five of a kind rewards you with a 500x payout, and four of a kind will get you 200x. Even with just three of a kind, you'll be paid 100x with this wild symbol. It substitutes for everything but the dragon bonus symbol and the Valkyries of Odin logo symbols.

The Three Valkyries and More

There are three valkyries that make their way onto the reels, and they're the best-paying regular symbols in the game. Five of the red valkyrie pays out 300x, and you'll be given 250x for five of the blue one. The green valkyrie is the lowest of the bunch with a 200x payout for a five-of-a-kind combination, but that's still pretty solid. You'll notice that this game's pay table is very balanced and gives players plenty of medium-sized wins to avoid most major swings.

Making up the middle part of the pay table are three symbols that have the same payouts. The viking helmet with an axe is one symbol, the shield with two swords is the second, and the long horn is the third. These all pay 150x for five of a kind, and they're solid wins.

At the bottom end of the pay table are four card rank symbols. The red A, the orange K, the green Q and the blue J will all give you 50x for five of a kind on a payline.

Our Thoughts

Valkyries of Odin is a game with an excellent look, and its gameplay is particularly solid as well. It has a good set of features that give you value in different ways, and it doesn't strictly follow the "standard template" for video slots that you often see. The pay table is pretty balanced, and the volatility is reasonable, so we can see a lot of players enjoying this game quite a bit.
