Valley of Fortunes Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Valley of Fortunes, Hidden Valley and even the Valley of the Gods slot - there’s just something about a valley that makes developers think about slots games!

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

The game opens in Cairo looking out across the pyramids, with the reels held between two elaborate columns. It’s slick and engaging, and atmospheric music helps to draw you into the gameplay.

Valley of Fortunes RTP & Volatility

Valley of Fortunes comes with an attractive RTP of 96%. That’s the average for an online slots game and suggests that there are some good payouts to be had. But this is a highly volatile slot, so it’s definitely not one for the faint-hearted! You could have to wait for a long time to trigger the bonus round, and even longer to generate one of the seriously big cash prizes.

It’s always down to luck in the end, of course, thanks to the random number generating mechanics within each slots game. But the more you play a game, the better you come to understand the way it operates. And that can be a distinct advantage when you come to wager real cash on it at an online casino. So if you’d like to try out this particular High 5 free play slot, you can test it out right here, without risking a single penny of your own bankroll.

How to Play Valley of Fortunes

Although Valley of Fortunes doesn’t play out like most other slots, the controls are still exactly the same as you’d expect.

1 Decide how much you’re prepared to wager on each spin. This isn’t a game to play for half a dozen spins in the hope of attracting a big cash payout - although it’s theoretically possible. The higher than average volatility means you can expect to rip through your bankroll very quickly, so you need to be able to fund at least a couple of hundred spins for the best chances of pulling ahead.

2 Use the arrow keys to either side of the Bet window to adjust your wager according to your preferences.

3 Hit the Spin button to play out one game. But since this is a game that tends to reward long-term players, you’re best off hitting the Autoplay button. Select your number of automatic spins, your stake and any loss or win limits that will end the feature early. Take back control at any time by tapping on Autoplay again.

4 Head for the game’s menu to view game rules and payouts, as well as adjusting game sounds to your liking.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Spin the reels of Valley of Fortunes from just 0.25, rising to 37.50 when you play the demo version of the game. Individual casinos may vary in the wagering options they allow, but we’d advise low-risk and low-stakes players to steer well clear. High volatility means you’ll have to dig deep into your bankroll to tide you through the empty spins, although that’s not a problem if you stick with the demo version!

There aren’t any paylines or Ways to Win in Valley of Fortunes. Most of the symbols are empty blanks, with blue, green and red jewels awarding the amounts displayed. Expect to land mostly blue gemstone wins, which pay out the lowest returns, although you’ll be hoping to hit some high-paying reds if you can.

Valley of Fortunes Bonus Features

It’s not easy to label the bonus feature round in Valley of Fortunes. It’s not exactly a Free Spins bonus, but it’s not really a respins bonus either. And it’s not triggered in the usual way - you’d expect to have one single scatter symbol which generates the bonus when three or more appear. But in this game every blue, green and red jewel acts as a scatter. Land any three jewels on the reels and the three lights will blaze in the wings at the top of the screen. This indicates that you’ve made it through to the Racking Up Riches Bonus.

The bonus round takes place deep within a hidden chamber. Game symbols drop from above, falling into columns. Black symbols disappear, and new symbols cascade from above. Jewel symbols start to stack up into piles, with their sums increasing when a gold symbol lands on top, awarding up to a 10x multiplier to every sum within that stack. The bonus round ends when one of the stacks reaches the top, at which point you’ll receive the value of the win in that stack. The round can also end when no jewels fall for two consecutive rounds - you’re given one Last Chance Spin to try and get you back into the game.

Overall Review

Although Valley of Fortunes looks and sounds amazing, the high volatility made it a difficult game to enjoy - although we might feel very different if we were high rollers! There are some huge cash prizes to be had, but we were frustrated by the abundance of jewels that vanished as the reels stopped! It’s beautifully done though, with an exciting bonus feature, so give it a try and see whether or not you agree with us!
