Shields of Gold Valkyrie Hold and Win Slot

Shields of gold Valkyrie is a 5x3 grid slot with 20 pay lines. It’s a Viking theme game and the Provider has not just put effort in creating the graphics that suit it but also added music and animation similar to it. The game has many features which can enhance your wins and these features are not just part of the bonus game but base game too. The game has a wild symbol which can land on any reel and cover your entire reel. The game has a shield symbol which can land anywhere on the grid and has values from 1x to 20x. Landing the shield on reel one and two followed by wilds on the next three reels triggers the wild transform feature and every spot which is covered by wild turns into a shield revealing a value from 1x to 20x. Any time during your play if you land the re-spin shield it will trigger the hold and spin feature and you will get 3 spins to land another shield or else the feature ends. You also have a chance to trigger 4 high paying shields which are Mini, Minor, Major and Grand. The Grand jackpot can also be landed by filling up the whole grid.
Landing the bonus symbols on reel 1, 3 and 5 will trigger the free spins feature and you get to choose from two modes. Option one gives you 8 free spins and a higher chance of landing wilds on reel 5 and option 2 gives you 6 free spins with more shields on reel 1 and 2. Both these modes give you a higher chance of landing the hold and spin feature. You can buy the free spin feature by paying 75x your bet and you will land either of the two bonuses which are free spin or hold and spin. Paying 100x you bet will give you a bonus where you will get your free spins plus a minimum of one guaranteed trigger of the hold and spin feature.
A nice game from Booming games with great features and thankfully all land quite regularly. If you pay 25% extra on every bet then you have a chance to land the features even more frequently.

Most of the shield symbols hold the value of 1x. The bonus can end without landing even a single shield. The base game without the feature is bland and you rarely get any good wins which hurts your balance in the long run.
