Free slot: Valley of the Gods 2

How Valley Of The Gods 2 works

Valley Of The Gods 2 is a slot machine present in online casinos. It has been published since September 2020 by the provider Yggdrasil. Just like its big sister Valley Of The Gods, this machine takes the player to the heart of Ancient Egypt, in the valley of the gods. Beetles and Egyptian deities are at the centre of the game.

It features classic reel operation with an original format of 6 reels and 3 to 8 rows from left to right and up to 20,160 ways to win. In its basic game, 16 squares are hidden by beetle symbol blockers, limiting the number of connections and therefore possible wins. The whole point of the game is to unblock the hidden squares and thus free the beetles. Each winning combination destroys a beetle blocker and leaves room for a respin with new squares revealed. The payout rate to players of Valley Of The Gods 2 reaches 96% and it can be described as a highly volatile machine with a payout of up to 5,481 times its initial bet.

The different symbols of Valley Of The Gods 2

11 different symbols can appear on the grid:

• the Goddess Isis as a WILD: it replaces any other symbol and appears only as a bonus function, once the grid is fully revealed. It extends over an entire reel and remains in place until it becomes part of a winning combination.

• the Goddess Bastet (pays x16 for 5 identical symbols).

• the God Sobek (pays x8 for 5 identical symbols).

• the Gods Horus and Anubis (pay x6 for 5 identical symbols).

• the classic symbols A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 (pay between x2 to x4 for 5 identical symbols).

The different connections in Valley Of The Gods 2

There are many ways to make money in Valley Of The Gods 2. From the basic game to the bonus features, there are between 240 and 20,160 ways to win. To win a prize, all it takes is for at least 3 identical symbols to appear anywhere on the grid, adjacent to each other from left to right, as shown in the image below.

How the bonuses in Valley Of The Gods 2 work

No Scatter or free spins here. Several bonus functions are triggered once all beetle symbol blockers have been removed from the grid. Unblocked beetles turn into golden, blue or red beetles and are collected. To the left of the grid, beetle gauges are shown to collect gold, blue and red beetles.

• the WILD gauge: once the grid is fully revealed, this bonus function is activated. Thus, each time 5 golden beetles are collected, a WILD reel is placed on the grid. It remains sticky until it is part of a winning combination.

• the MULTI gauge: once the grid is fully revealed, a x2 multiplier of gains is applied. Each time 5 blue beetles are collected, the value of the multiplier increases by 1.

• the LIFE gauge: once the grid is fully revealed, an extra life is offered. Each time 5 red beetles are collected, an extra life is granted. The extra lives are triggered in case of a non-winning spin.

As long as winning combinations take place, beetles continue to be collected. When the breaths and extra lives are over, and no winning combinations take place, the symbol blockers are returned to the same 16 positions from the beginning of the game.

Our opinion about Valley Of The Gods 2

Very similar to its big sister Valley Of The Gods, this slot machine is a jewel of the game provider Yggdrasil. Several years after version 1, Valley Of The Gods 2 brings a new feature with the presence of the WILD on an entire reel. The originality of the bonuses, unlocked by collecting beetles, triggers chain reactions with multipliers, WILDs and respins for even greater volatility and a possible jackpot of up to 5,481 times your initial bet!
