Valkyries Review

The crafty Armenian developer, Peter & Sons, proves yet again how competent they are in the audiovisual department. Valkyries is loosely based on the famous Wagner opera, Die Walküre, and the game plays out in a beautifully crafted opera theater stage. All the animations and the opera singing ladies are choreographed masterfully, and you don’t really need to be a huge opera fan to enjoy what’s going on here.

You have to tolerate that kind of singing to get the most out of Valkyries though, as it’s hardly the same with the sounds turned off. The Power Reel awards very adequate compensation for near-miss 2 scatter hits, as this will often turn into several Dropping and Locking Wild respins that can lead to decent base game payouts. Everything is enhanced when the Power Reel is active on all free spins, and this is how you’re most likely to crack the 20,000x potential.

Valkyries Slot Features

The Wild steps in for all pay symbols to help complete winning combos, and it’s also the most valuable symbol in the game. Landing 5 wilds on a payline awards 12x your stake, while the character premium symbols pay between 7 and 11 x your stake for the same.

The Power Reel is triggered when you land 2 scatters anywhere in sight. The Power Reel is located below the main grid, and you get corresponding wilds on the reels above if red and/or blue symbols appear on the Power Reel spin. The Blue symbol adds a Locking Wild, while the Red symbol awards a Dropping Wild, and you can get more than one at the same time.

The Locking Wilds lasts for at least 2 Respins without any Dropping Wilds in view. If you have Dropping Wilds however, the Respins go on until they drop off the bottom of the grid. Dropping Wilds can appear organically as well, and both wild types can come with multipliers of x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 or x10 attached. Dropping Wilds can overlap other wilds, and this merges the symbols for that spin while also adding the multipliers together.

You trigger the Bonus Round when 3 scatters land anywhere in view, and this awards 10 free spins. The Power Reel is active on each free spin, and each Locking Wild it generates also awards +2 extra spins. Non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may purchase the bonus round directly for 73x the total stake.

Review Summary

We doubt the average slot player has a huge thing for classic opera, and neither do we for that matter. That being said however, we really enjoyed what Peter and his highly competent sons have done here. Valkyries is nothing short of an audiovisual masterpiece, and the mix of dropping and locking multiplier wilds can be highly effective on a good day.

Is it enough to turn hordes of hardcore gamblers into avid opera fans over night? Probably not, but you have to be very anti-opera to not enjoy this beautifully crafted installment. The choreography is breathtaking, and we get a bit of a Wes Anderson vibe from this whole thing. It ain’t over till the fat lady sings, as they say, and she’s singing to the tune of 20,000x your stake in this highly volatile and unique Peter & Sons production.
