The Valley of the Dead slot game sees a return to Yggdrasil Gaming’s iconic Egyptian-themed Valley of the Gods slots, this time taking on a more macabre theme with deadly monsters and an eerie game setting.
The title is played on a 5x5 game grid that starts with some positions blocked by BoltLock blocker symbols, leaving a diamond-shaped grid open in the centre. Blocked positions can be unlocked, leading to variable paylines between 243 and 3,125.
It’s an exciting medium-high volatility video slot with some innovative features and a top prize potential of 5,800 times your bet. Find out more and play Valley of the Dead today at talkSPORT BET Casino.
You’ll need an active and funded talkSPORT BET account to play this gruesome game. To set one up, click the ‘sign up’ button at the top of the page and follow the registration prompts. You must be 18 to play under UK laws, and ID verification will be required.
Once registered and logged in, return to this page and click on the game tile to begin. You’ll be faced with a dark and gloomy gaming arena, where the 5x5 game grid sits, flanked by hooded stone figures. An ethereal green glow provides a backlight on the scene.
For those unfamiliar with the gameplay of online slot machines, your objective is to match up identical symbols along paylines to win prizes. Start your game by first selecting your wager. You can do this by clicking the coin stack button below the spin button to reveal your betting options.
Once you have chosen your wager, all that remains is to hit the spin button to spin the slot reels. If your spin results in a winning combination landing, all winning symbols will light up with the same blue glow before releasing Blue Souls onto the reel set, which will explode some of the blocked reel positions around the edges of the grid and trigger a respin.
Any prizes earned are displayed directly below the reel set and added to your account balance.
Valley of the Dead moves away from the Ancient Egyptian theme in favour of a horror slot environment in which morbid monsters are the gatekeepers of the game’s rewards. The colour palette is all dark greys and blues, accented with gold and a ghostly blue glow.
The reel symbols offer slightly more colour. The lower end of the paytable consists of coin symbols, four of which represent the likenesses of the game’s main characters.
These characters are the premium symbols on the reels: faces of ghoulish monsters like Cerastes, Medusa, a werewolf and a zombie offering payouts up to 20 times your bet. There are no bonus symbols in this game.
Match three or more identical symbols along one of the game’s active paylines to earn payouts in the base game. The paytable below indicates the prizes awarded based on a £1.00 wager in standard play mode:
Symbol | Match 3 | Match 4 | Match 5 |
Rune coin | 0.24 | 0.48 | 1.00 |
Skull coin | 0.24 | 0.48 | 1.00 |
Cerastes coin | 0.28 | 0.60 | 1.20 |
Werewolf coin | 0.28 | 0.60 | 1.20 |
Medusa coin | 0.32 | 0.80 | 1.60 |
Zombie coin | 0.32 | 0.80 | 1.60 |
Cerastes | 1.00 | 3.00 | 10.00 |
Werewolf | 1.00 | 3.00 | 10.00 |
Medusa | 2.00 | 6.00 | 20.00 |
Zombie | 2.00 | 6.00 | 20.00 |
Some unusual features in this grisly game offer thrilling ways to boost your wins:
Every win triggers a respin and each winning symbol unlocks more ways to win by sending out ethereal ghost skulls called Blue Souls to remove BoltLock blocker symbols, opening up the gaming grid.
Unlocking all ways to win so the full 5x5 grid is open activates Multiplier & Extra Lives Mode. After all BoltLock blocker symbols have been destroyed, some symbols will release Blue Souls when they win and others Red Souls. These are collected by the corresponding statues, which award prizes for every five collected.
Blue Souls increase your win multiplier by 1x each time the pot fills, while Red Souls add one extra life for each five Red Souls collected. Extra lives will trigger a respin each following a non-winning spin.
OnlyWins mode increases your wager by 4.40x and your chances of winning to 99.99% for every spin while active.
