Valhalla, released in 2016, is an Internet casino game made by Betdigital Limited. Norse and Germanic mythologies, afterlife, fallen heroes, Norse cosmology, Poetic Edda (mysterious poems), and Nordic gods are among the themes. A similar game from Betdigital Limited is City Gold. Rival games of Valhalla include Goddess of Valhalla (October 2018) from High 5 Games, Valkyries of Odin by Stakelogic, and Champions of Valhalla (August 2019) from Eyecon.

The game’s name “Valhalla” is borrowed from a mythical hall that, according to the Norse mythology, is found in the mythical Asgard and is overseen by Norse god Odin. The legendary Valhalla is the Valkyries-led afterlife destination for one group of the warriors killed in action, while the other goddess Freyja-led group ends up in the mythical meadow called Folkvangr.

All of the Valhalla symbols need three, four, or five winning combinations.

Valhalla Game Characteristics

Valhalla has a 5X3 brown grid, ten fixed pay lines, a multiplier slot, twenty-four bet sizes got each of the six spin levels, ten symbols, win multipliers, expandable symbols, up to four respins. Valhalla’s regular payouts are from X10 to X2500. Quite uniquely, Valhalla’s reels not only pay from right to left and from left to right, but also its three central reels.

Valhalla’s lone special symbol is goddess Freyja who has waist-length and golden hair, is dressed in black and turquoise, and is wearing beaded necklaces. Its brand logo but a lacking regular payout, goddess Freyja is in a meadow under golden skies.

Valhalla’s nine regular symbols are: a blue-lined golden 10; a red-lined golden J; a green-lined golden Q; a purple-lined golden K; a brown-lined golden A; Odin’s horned silver helmet on a round net; a golden horn on a round mesh; two crisscrossing axes and shield on a square mesh; and a longship paddled by Vikings.

Valhalla has a good user interface, with: an on/off speaker at bottom left, settings at top right, and optional left or right-hand modes. However, it lacks autospins. There are magical and clashing swords sound effects, especially when selecting spin levels. The 3D graphics are less glamorous, apart from the sparkling full-sized goddess.
