Sirens

It is not very common to find the features Tumbling Reels and 243 Ways to Win working together on the same video slot; indeed, Valkyrie Queen is the first slot of this kind I’ve played so far and now I have to say it was a new and interesting experience.As for the theme, I really like games based on mythology of ancient civilizations and the fact that this one is based on a deity in Norse mythology was certainly what initially encouraged me to try this game, I also have to say its design of dark tones, perfect images and sound effects epic style strongly stimulate our senses and make playing this game a truly enjoyable experience.Every time I've played a slot with 243 ways to win or tumbling reels, I have noticed that the paytable has always been weakened in order to balance payouts as this pair of characteristics considered individually always translate into a hit average better than on traditional slots, so I figured that having the two characteristics working together would mean a greater sacrifice on the paytable or perhaps other game features. Somehow I think I had a point since triggering the round of 10 free games resulted not so easy task to me, however, once inside this round chances of re-triggering this feature appear to be increased dramatically, even I managed to get five additional spins right during my first free round. As for the paytable, I actually see that prices are somewhat tight, and my best hits have given me payouts around 25x my total bet, however this has been enough to finish with some gains in my balance. Given these conditions it is fair to predict that it is quite normal to see our balance falling at a pace relatively fast until it befalls any major hit, for this reason I think it's important to have a capital capable of withstanding the slumps and thus we can play with bet levels to try imposing our strategies over the game’s behavior.In conclusion, I believe that High5Games in partnership with Bally have done a good job creating this slot of high variance, which is not only great fun but, if we have a good strategy and Lady Luck is on our side, I think it is also possible to take some profits home; it would not be a bad idea to take a look at this slot, it might be one of those games of your liking.

So far I have only met 3 or 4 games produced by IGT who have really impacted me, mainly because of its ability to generate profits, I remember one of them is quite similar to Sirens but with an additional row, but unlike them, on Sirens seems a little harder to form combinations of 4 and 5 of a kind with high symbols that represent a decent win, because you have to consider that the rates of payouts of this game are quite small because in this slot of 5 x 3 reels have been set stacked symbols, even wilds,and further IGT has incorporated 30 payilnes, therefore stipulated prices are low to allow the game to remain profitable for the casinos. The design of the slot for its part is quite attractive, decorated with beautiful winged maidens who according to legend they were also very dangerous and put at risk the lives of sailors.There is also a round of free spins in this slot that gives 7, 10, or 15 free spins if they appear 3, 4 or 5 bonus scatters at any position on the reels, during this round are paid both combinations formed from left to right and from right to left, that is the main advantage provided during this round; there is also an extra feature here that is, for each bonus scatter displayed, it is converted into one of the letters forming the word bonus depending on the reel on which it occurs, if you can collect all the letters before the end of the round, then you can choose one of the harps that will give you a multiplier among 3 x; 4 x; 5 x or 10 x to be applied to the total won during your entire round of free games; personally I had access to many rounds of 7 and 10 free spins but I have never been able to complete enough letters to get one of these multipliers, nor I have been able to get a big win throughout this round. For all these, it is that Sirens has not earned a place among my favorite slots and for me it is simply an average slot, and we can see how player’s comments and ratings on forums and websites reinforce this opinion by locating normally Sirens in an average place near to 3 to 3.5 stars on a scale of 1-5.

Yggdrasil The Tree of life is a 243 ways slot coming from Microgaming. The game has a Nordic mythology theme and I really like slots like that. The graphic and animations are descent and so is the background music. If the slot is in a good mood you can have a lot of fun playing it. I also like the design of the game and I think the designers really did a good job here. The minimum bet to play this game is only 25 cent which is great considering it’s a 243 ways slot. The symbols look great and the slot has a descent paytable. The highest paying symbol the white eagle awards a win of 1500 coins followed by the serpent with 1000 coins. The game has a wild and scatter symbol. The wild substitutes for all other symbols except the scatter but doesn’t have a multiplier attached. The scatter has a great 500 x total bet payout for 5 of them on the reels. If you manage to hit at least 3 scatters you trigger the bonus feature in the game. Here you are taken to the tree of life and you make picks between various objects. You start from the roots and advance through the trunk up to the branches. The bonus ends in the branches when you get the collect sign. I played this game a number of times and I like it. Base play wins are medium and in terms of variance the bonus features comes quite often. You can sometimes get it 3 times in a matter of 100 spins which is way too often than in most other 243 ways slots. The bonus can be very generous. Sometimes I get wins of 50-60 x bet sometimes wins over 100 x bet. It really depends on your luck. Still I would like to see a free spins bonus here because without it I just feel like it’s missing.
