Masters Of Valhalla (Microgaming) – Review & Demo Play

Masters of Valhalla – General

Get cosy with the Norse Gods as I spin Masters of Valhalla from Snowborn Games. It’s a 5-reel, 4-row slot with 1,024 ways to win and a firm Norse mythology vibe. Released on 24/03/2022, it leans on colour-coded wilds, a hold-and-win style bonus, and high volatility. The big draw is the Valhalla Bonus with god modifiers that can send returns skyward. It’s a polished take on a familiar theme, and the feature set ties the whole package together.

Profit information for Masters of Valhalla

RTP varies across releases of Masters of Valhalla. I’ve seen a standard 96.00% quoted, while other builds run at 94.00%. With Bonus Buy active, figures noted include 94.03% for the regular Valhalla Bonus and 94.12% for the Valhalla Bonus – Berserk. SlotCatalog also flags customisable RTP ranges, so do check the game sheet where you play. This variability doesn’t change how the mechanics feel, but it can shape the long-run profile.

The slot is high volatility and tops out at 20,000x your stake, which equals up to 500,000 at the £25 ceiling. There’s no jackpot prize baked in, but the feature maths carries plenty of punch, with an extra 500x paid if you fill the bonus grid. Returns come chunky and uneven, as you’d expect from a high-variance model. That max exposure usually needs a strong run in the Valhalla Bonus with several modifiers pulling together.

Stake in Masters of Valhalla

Stakes in Masters of Valhalla start at 0.10 and cap at 25.00. The interface gives quick access to coin settings, while Autoplay offers 25, 40, 50, 60, 80, or 100 consecutive games. There are no win or loss guards within Autoplay, so I keep an eye on balance when testing runs. One important quirk for feature chasers: changing your stake will reset the Berserk Booster meter, so I stick to one bet level when I’m close to filling it.

The game uses five reels by four rows to deliver 1,024 ways to win. Payouts register for matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost position. If you want to sit back and enjoy the frosty set, the Autospin option does the job, and turbo pacing feels tidy on mobile as well. The compact paytable and ways engine make it easy to read the grid state at a glance, which helps when Wild God Respins fire.

Masters of Valhalla review

I quite like the Masters of Valhalla audiovisuals. The grid sits by snowy mountains, with the gates to the bonus looming on the left and crows guarding a chest. The art is clean and cartoon-like, with subtle animations that give the gods personality. The soundtrack leans celestial, and the effects land with satisfying weight when respins and modifiers kick in. It’s a familiar Nordic look, yet the presentation feels cohesive and keeps me engaged during base spins.

Masters of Valhalla Symbols & Payouts

The top icon is the wild, a coloured W with a rune, paying 15x for five of a kind and substituting all regular symbols. Premiums are Odin, Freya, Thor, and Hel, worth roughly 2x to 3x for five on a line. The lower tier uses rune stones: othala, fehu, wunjo, and hagalaz. Wilds come in four colours that mirror the four gods, setting up later interactions in the respin feature.

Masters of Valhalla uses 1,024 ways to win. Hits land when matching symbols align on adjacent reels from left to right. Only the best combination pays per way, but multiple wins are added together. You can also get paid for landing three or more wilds on a way. This framework keeps the base game flowing, with premiums showing enough presence to tease the features without clogging the reels. It’s a tidy setup that complements the modifiers.

Masters of Valhalla slot features

Wilds do more than substitute here. As they land, they’re collected in a chest, which can randomly trigger the Wild God Respins. You get one respin with 1 to 19 additional wilds slapped onto the grid, and all premium symbols transform into the god that matches the triggering wild colour. It’s a sharp burst of potential in the base game, and with the ways engine, those extra wilds can string together a handful of tidy connections.

The Berserk Booster sits above the reels and fills when bonus symbols land on reels 1 and 3. When full, it enhances the next bonus by giving you four spins instead of three. The Valhalla Bonus itself triggers via three bonus symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5. The grid clears, three shields lock in, and each new symbol resets the spin counter. Wooden shields carry 1x–9x, while golden shields carry 10x–50x cash values.

The real spice comes from the god modifiers. Thor expands the grid by one row per appearance, up to two times. Freya applies a multiplier to all symbols on that spin and those that follow, while Odin adds his value persistently. Hugin & Munin add value to all symbols once. Garmr collects all present values once, and Hel does the same on subsequent spins. Hot Spots can hint at modifiers, and filling all positions adds 500x. You can buy the Valhalla Bonus for 50x or the Berserk version for 100x.

Verdict – Masters of Valhalla

Masters of Valhalla hits a nice rhythm for me. The Wild God Respins pep up the base game, while the Valhalla Bonus blends multipliers, collectors, and expansion in a way that builds momentum. The 20,000x ceiling is punchy, even if RTP settings can vary by build. If you enjoy re-spin style bonus rounds with layered modifiers and a clear path to big outcomes, this Norse trek does the job and keeps me coming back.
