Yggdrasil -The Tree of Life Slot Review
No I don’t have a clue how to pronounce Yggdrasil either. It is however yet another trip by slot designer into the world of mythology to come up with a theme for a game. What would they do without all those stories that have entertained people all over the world for years and years? Yggdrasil -The Tree of Life comes from Norse mythology and some 13th century manuscripts. And there was you thinking Norse mythology was just about the adventures of Thor, Loki and Odin. History lesson over, now let’s have a look at this Genesis Gaming slot.
The game has a good look to it and we do get to see the tree with the reels embedded inside it with a lot of greenery at the top. This is a five-reel game that has three rows of attractive looking symbols and 25 paylines. The 25 paylines are fixed so the minimum wager is €0.01 and the maximum is €250.00.
The symbols really look attractive and include a deer, a snake, a bird and a squirrel. Then we get the nine to Ace playing card symbols, at least one too many I reckon, let’s see some more animals from this forest.
The wild symbol is the Norse warrior who you definitely wouldn’t like to get on the wrong side of. It can substitute for other symbols In the game to get you some winning combinations. That’s always handy when you’re stuck with a near win. It can’t substitute for the scatter symbol in this game which is the Yggdrasil logo.
The game can be played in either regular or expert mode. The only real difference is you can set an autoplay feature in expert mode.
It's always a good idea to find out as much about the game as possible so take a good look at the paytable for this game. That's packed with information about the winning combinations and what they pay and how the bonus games work. Also have a few free games because that will allow you to see the game in action and show you how the bonus games work, all handy information to have.
Bonus Games
You need three of the scatter symbols anywhere on the reels to get into the Yggdrasil feature. This contains three levels so let’s take a look at each of them, the good news is they all give you a great chance of winning some good prizes.
In Roots you have to choose from ten symbols with each winning you either cash or taking you up to the next level. Then it’s the Trunk level that has you again picking items to win cash and get to the next level. The final level is Branches with more symbols to pick until the Collect symbol is discovered.
Conclusion
A good looking game from Genesis Gaming. The bonus game can be profitable but it is a bit repetitive to play but when you count your winnings you might not be complaining too much.
