Aldo’s Journey Slot Review (Yggdrasil)

“Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer”.

We’re not sure who coined this inspirational travel quote, but this phrase is the very essence of Yggdrasil’s brand new slot titled Aldo’s Journey. In this slot, a gold merchant named Aldo invites you to a globetrotting adventure, where each destination he visits will present you with its own unique treasure trove, packed to the gunnels with higher stake multipliers, bounteous gold wilds, and many other prizes!

Rules

The game screen shows an open view of the 4 destinations you are about to visit, with Persia in the bottom left corner, Italy in the upper left corner, Mongolia in the upper right corner, and China right below it. The grid stands in the foreground with Aldo always present to explore what each of these destinations has to offer while still acting as a wild.

Meeting the game’s icon for the first time, you will notice that he is hugely motivated by cash and will keep urging you to spin away. Before taking heed to his wishes, however, you need to update your betting preferences. This slot comes with different coin values (0.002-2 units) to allow you to select cash bets ranging from €0.10 to €100.

Moving on to the paytable, you will discover 2 categories of symbols. The first category is represented by a selection of gems that offer you base rewards of up to 2X. The second category, on the other hand, is comprised of the usual blackjack-themed icons offering base payouts of up to 1X. There is also a regular wild, which like Aldo, replaces all other symbols to complete winning combinations.

Free Spins Modes

Landing 3 Free Spins Symbols (compasses) awards you 7 free spins. There are 5 Free Spins Modes, and the one which is activated depends on the city Aldo is currently on. Each city comes with its own special features to help you win more.

In Italy, the session begins with a 2X multiplier. An additional multiplier is awarded after each free spin.

In Mongolia, a selected symbol is cleared from the grid after every spin. If only 2 symbols left after this, a 1X multiplier is awarded.

In Persia, a sticky gold wild is awarded in each spin. All the sticky wilds remain for the entire session.

Finally, in China, a string of wilds is formed with each spin. To bump up the winning potential, the session begins with a 2X multiplier.

Journey Free Spins

If you land the 3 compasses when Aldo is in the star-shaped space at the center, you will unlock the Journey Free Spins. Also starting with a 2X multiplier, this mode brings together all the features from the City Free Spins.

Wild Times

A special Wild Time feature is triggered every time Aldo steps into the central square. If you are currently in normal play, a 2-4x multiplier, plus 3 to 9 wilds will be awarded for that spin. If you are in the City Free Spins modes, 3-9 random wilds will be awarded. A 1-3X multiplier will be added to the counter as well to be used for the entire session. Lastly, 3 extra free spins will be awarded if you are in the Journey Free spins.

Conclusion

The Aldo’s Journey video slot is an exciting and adventurous offering from Yggdrasil, stepping away from such Yggdrasil hallmarks as Jackpot Raiders. Aldo adds an exotic feel to the video slot while the bonus features keep the gameplay engaging. Also noteworthy, the City Free Spins are quite often triggered by the compasses, and this is where your bankroll can see the biggest boost, thanks to the special features presented by the different cities.

Aldo is ready to go. Are you?
