Yggdrasil The Tree of Life

Released in 2013 by Microgaming, Yggdrasil The Tree of Life is a five reel 243 payline video slot themed on the famous tree from the Norse mythology. A mystical atmosphere on the game screen is created through the use of aptly designed game symbols and spooky sound effects, whilst Wild and Scatter icons and the Yggdrasil Feature make things even more interesting for casino gamers everywhere.

The intriguing video slot is played at five reels and All Pays scheme, which is basically the same as Microgaming’s well known 243 Ways to Win system. This means players will receive a payout for three matching symbols appearing on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel, rather than when these are found on one of the conventional paylines. Norse Warrior is Wild and it substitutes for all non-feature icons in the game, but it does not offer a payout on its own. Meanwhile, Yggdrasil The Tree of Life logo is Scatter and it is the only symbol that pays regardless of its position on the game board.

Even if All Pays scheme translates to conventional 243 paylines being activated, players will be only wagering 25 coins per spin at coin level 1. They can stake up to 10 coins per line or up to 250 in total, whereas coin value ranges from $0.01 to $1. Spin, bet max or auto play start the game. Considering that All Pays system ensures winning combinations occur quite frequently, Yggdrasil The Tree of Life features very good payouts in the main game. Eagle is the highest-paying symbol, awarding up to 15,000 credits for five matching icons on adjacent reels, but four more symbols award payouts of 5,000 coins or more.

As the action takes place in a mythical forest, you won’t be surprised to see the likes of eagle, snake, squirrel and deer appear on the reels, in addition to playing cards Nine, Ten, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. Game logo and Norse warrior are the only special icons in the game, designed to further drive up your earnings. Three or more Norse Warrior Scatters occurring in any position trigger the Yggdrasil Feature, which is basically the only available bonus round. A player moves through three levels: Roots, Trunk and Branches, choosing from ten items in each area to reveal either coins or ‘next’. In the final stage word ‘collect’ can appear behind each item and it ends the game. All credits won up until that point are awarded to the player.
