Everyone likes a little groove in their life, and by joining Aldo on the 5 reels and 65 paylines of Aldo’s Journey online slot, you could definitely find yourself dancing on the spot. This title looks like it has plenty to offer from the outside, with a number of bonus features and some animations that really catch the eye. There’s also a fairly big maximum payout that players can get their hands on, not to mention the extras you’ll land yourself through bonus play. Let’s take a closer look and see what the lively Aldo has to offer.
The theme that’s been given to Aldo’s Journey is that of a travelling nomad, likely set in the in the 1500s. As you’ll have gathered the slot centres around Aldo, a dancing jolly little fella who features prominently on the reels. The backdrop to the pay table is a series of exotic locations, which is where our Aldo finds himself when exploring ancient civilisations. The studio behind this online slot is Yggdrasil, and this company is well-known for delivering visually rich spectacles, not to mention very interactive games. They could also be forgiven for considering themselves the pioneers of mobile optimisation for casino games, as the mobile versions, including this one, seem to function better that the desktop versions. It goes without saying that you’ll be able to play on Android and iOS.
Yggdrasil state that the most you can win here is up to 3,000x your bet. If we take the maximum bet amount of £100.00 we assume you’ll be able to win a potential £300,000.00. There isn’t any indication that Yggdrasil has set a limit to the win amount, as most studios do, but should that amount stand you’ll be dancing along with Aldo, especially due to the fact that your life will have just changed forever.
The theme of this game is obviously about Aldo discovering treasures, so Yggdrasil has implemented valuable gem stones as the higher paying icons. There are 4 of these gem stones in total, and are the one’s you’d rather have forming winning combinations. There are also the customary lower paying icons, but instead of playing card numbers and royals they are the suits of a deck of cards – ace, club, diamond and heart. While these symbols will help you chip away at wins, you’d much rather be landing the stones.
There are 2 wild symbols, with Aldo acting as the first. He is a sticky wild, and will be on the reels of every base and bonus spin. Just to remind you, a wild symbol substitutes all regular icons to create winning lines. The second wild is the coin with W in the middle. Look out for the compass, as this is the scatter.
Coming straight to that said scatter symbol, it has the ability to trigger free spins for you. In order to do this you’ll need to land 3 scatter symbols on the same spin on reels 2, 3 and 4. By doing this you’ll be given 7 free spins, however there are 5 different features that will be randomly awarded to you depending on where Aldo is standing when the reels come to a rest. They are as follows:
All the free spins features involve multipliers and even extra free spins for certain symbol combinations, including where Aldo is standing in those combinations.
There’s also a feature called the Wild Time feature, which only happens during any 1 of the 5 free spins features. Here, 3-9 wilds will land on the reels if Aldo lands on a centre symbol space. This obviously has the potential to bring awesome wins.
In typical Yggdrasil style, they’ve given us a game that puts a smile on the face not only for the wins that you’ll be landing, but also because of the quirky character/s that grace the theme. While they haven’t given us revolutionary bonus features, they are entertaining, and do their part in paying you handsomely. Do you feel like partying? If so, join Aldo, and get your dance on to some rewarding spins.
