How to Play Valley of the Dead

  1. Select your desired bet amount between £0.10 and £5 per spin.
  2. Press the spin button to set the reels in motion.
  3. A win is awarded for matching symbols on at least three consecutive reels from left to right. The number of ways to win ranges from 45 up to 3,125.
  4. After every winning spin, a respin is triggered, offering more chances to win as long as consecutive wins continue to occur.

BoltLock Blockers and Their Influence

At the start of play, 12 BoltLock blockers—each marked with a Skull—cover various positions on the reels. When a winning combination appears, each winning symbol destroys one BoltLock blocker. The goal is to destroy all 12 blockers, unlocking further features such as Win Multipliers and Extra Lives. After a sequence of respins concludes, any destroyed BoltLock blockers reset to their original 12 positions.

Understanding Respins

Each winning combination grants a respin. Respins continue as long as new wins are formed, using the same bet as the original spin.

Extra Lives Feature

Once every BoltLock blocker has been removed, players are given one extra life. Red Skulls, released from winning with warm-coloured symbols, contribute to the collection of lives. For every five collected red Skulls, one additional life is earned. The extra life feature gives players another respin in the event of a losing respin; each activation uses one life. When no more lives remain and no wins occur, respins end.

Win Multipliers Explained

After all BoltLock blockers are cleared, blue Skulls appear from wins with cold-coloured symbols, contributing to the Win Multiplier. For every five blue Skulls collected, the multiplier increases by one. New multipliers are applied to the respin directly after the spin in which they are earned. Total winnings are credited once the respin sequence finishes and no more lives are available.

Ways to Win: Pay Calculation

  • The game offers between 45 and 3,125 winning ways, depending on the configuration after blockers are destroyed.
  • A win requires three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel onwards.
  • If a reel contains multiple instances of the winning symbol, wins are multiplied accordingly (e.g., 2 winning symbols on reel 1, 3 on reel 2, and 2 on reel 3 results in a 2x3x2=12x multiplier for that win).
  • Only the highest win per way is paid, and all simultaneous wins across different ways are added together.
  • Payout values for symbol combinations are listed in the in-game paytable.

Rounding of Winnings

If a payout results in a fraction of a cent, winnings are rounded fairly to the nearest full cent. For decimal values precisely between two cents (e.g., 2.5), rounding is always to the closest even cent. The sum of all session winnings is the total of these rounded amounts.
