If you’re one of those adventurers whose dream is to travel around the world, Aldo’s Journey is an online slot for you. Launched by Yggdrasil in November 2019, this game showcases an exceptional design, with swift animations and a happy-go-lucky audio. To make the best of this game, you will have many benefits at your disposal: three Wilds, the Wild Time Feature and no less than 5 different Free Spins modes. An RTP of 96.1% is the industry average.
The 5-reel, 5-row layout is configured to 65 fixed paylines across which players can wager between merely $0.10 and up to $100 per spin, if they belong to the group of high-rollers. To start the game, use the Spin button or enable Autospin with up to 1,000 automatic rounds. Symbols deliver payouts when a minimum of 3 lands on subsequent payline positions, from left to right.
Purple, Blue, Green and Red Gems represent high-value symbols that deliver somewhat disappointing sums of 2x the bet when 5 of a kind appear on a winline. Playing card suits are low-paying icons that award 1x your stake for 5 of a kind. Aldo is all geared up for his venture, so he plays as Journey Wild, hopping all over the layout to complete as many wins as he can. Regular Wild, depicted as a Gold Coin, replaces all symbols except for Scatter. Sticky Wild appears during Free Spins only. Compass Scatter hits reels 2, 3 and 4 to activate one of the Bonus modes.
Whenever Aldo steps on the central tile, the Wild Times Feature starts, rewarding you with between 3 and 9 Wilds while adding Multipliers of up to 4x. It takes 3 Scatters to activate one of the five Bonuses. This depends entirely on where Aldo is at that point, as the grid is divided to four regions. You could travel to Italy where the Multiplier starts off at 2x and grows by 1 with every spin or fly off to Mongolia and benefit at the end of each spin since one symbol is removed from the layout. If you go to Persia, Aldo will distribute Sticky Wilds and leave them in place until feature ends. In China, Aldo is very generous as he awards a 2x Multiplier and creates a line of up to 5 Wilds in various directions. Journey Free Spins also have a 2x Multiplier and one of the above mentioned modes is applied.
Chances for scoring hefty wins are well hidden in the Free Spins Rounds. But, be patient and enjoy this cheerful video slot whenever you want as it can be played at home, on your desktop or on any portable device while you are on the go.
