About the Game

Valley of the Dead is a video slot with 5 reels, 5 rows, and up to 3125 ways to win. The game has 10 regular symbols that pay if 3 or more of the same kind appear in consecutive columns from the left. The 4 high pay symbols are represented by Mythology Characters, and the 6 low pay symbols are represented by various tokens. There are also BoltLock blockers, which have an indent of a Skull on them that block reel positions until they are destroyed by landing winning symbols.

Respins

Each spin with a winning combination present awards a respin. These respins continue as long as players continue landing winning combinations. Respins are played with the same bet as the spin that activated them.

Destroying BoltLock Blockers

During regular spins, 12 BoltLock blockers with the image of a Skull on each of them cover 12 reel positions. When players land a winning combination, each winning symbol releases a white Skull that destroys one of the BoltLock blockers. If there are no more BoltLock blockers on the reels, then all winning white Skulls turn into red or blue Skulls and are collected for the features below. Destroying all BoltLock blockers activates both Win Multipliers and Extra Lives. Once the respins end, the win is added to the balance, and the BoltLock blockers return to the same 12 positions on the reels.

Lives

Once all BoltLock blockers are destroyed, you are awarded 1 extra life. Red Skulls emerge from winning warm-colored symbols and are collected towards the extra lives feature. Players can increase their lives collection by 1 for every 5 red Skulls they collect. Players can continue collecting lives as long as they continue collecting Skulls. The extra Lives feature awards a respin on losing respins. Each time the Lives feature is activated, 1 life is spent. When players do not land a winning combination and they have no more lives, the respins end.

Win Multipliers

Once all BoltLock blockers are destroyed, blue Skulls emerge from winning cold-colored symbols and are collected towards the Win Multiplier feature. Players can increase their multiplier by 1 for every 5 blue Skulls they collect. Players can continue collecting multipliers as long as they continue collecting Skulls. New multipliers from respins are added after the win is awarded. The multiplier, which is displayed near the Skull collection, is not added to the spin which awarded the multiplier but instead to the respin directly after. The total win is added to your balance once no more winning combinations are present and players have no more lives.

How to Calculate Ways to Win

• There are from 45 up to 3125 ways to win in this game. Landing an identical symbol on 3, 4 or 5 consecutive reels from the left awards a win.
• If any of the reels contain more than 1 instance of the winning symbol, the win is multiplied. For example, if the first reel contains 2 winning symbols, the second reel contains 3 winning symbols and the third reel contains 2 winning symbols, this win is treated like a 3-of-a-kind win with a 2*3*2=12x multiplier.
• The payout for 3, 4 and 5 symbols is listed in the paytable.
• Simultaneous or coinciding wins on different ways are added. Only the Highest winning combination per way is paid out.

How to Calculate Wins with a Fraction of a Cent

If a symbol pays out a fraction of a cent (for example 0.024), then its payouts are fairly rounded to the closest full cent, for instance: 0.024 rounds to 0.02, and 0.048 rounds to 0.05. If a win is exactly between two values (e.g. 2.5), the rounding goes to the closest EVEN cent (will not round to an ODD amount). For example: 1.5, 3.5, 5.5, 7.5, 9.5 rounds up. 0.5, 2.5, 4.5, 6.5, 8.5 rounds down. The total win for the game session is equal to the rounded value of the sum of all winnings based on the paytable.
