About Aldo’s Journey
Launched in 2019, Aldo’s Journey has been developed by Yggdrasil Gaming as a fun-filled, adventure-themed slot. Graphically, it has all the hallmarks of a typical social media game, and its design and layout are hardly conventional either. However, with an RTP of 96.1% and low-cost stakes ranging from 0.10 up to 200.00, there is fun to be had here. Expect prizes to be a touch on the light side in this 5-reel, 65-line low variance game. On the upside, there are plenty of special features which can help you pocket a prize when playing the game.
Special Features
First up, there are two wild symbols in Aldo’s Journey. The gold coin and Aldo himself act as wilds. These can replace any standard paying emblems. Compass icons act as bonus symbols and can trigger a free spin round when three or more spring up.
If an Aldo wild appears on the centre of the third reel, a Wild Time bonus is triggered at random. This will deliver as many as nine wild symbols. Moreover, anything you win with those symbols will be boosted by either 2x or 4x multipliers.
There are five possible free spin goodies to be had in the bonus round, and it is also position on the reels that will determine which of the bonus features you will receive. Given that, let us take a closer look at what they can offer.
Bonus Feature
When three compass scatters appear, you will be awarded a total of seven free spins. There are five modes you could prosper by, and it is Aldo’s position on the reels that will trigger them. If Aldo lands in Italy, you can expect to pocket a 2x increasing multiplier on each spin, rising by 1x on every turn. If Aldo should start his quest in Mongolia, then one type of symbol will be removed from the reels per spin. Persian Aldo will trigger a sticky wild mode, whereby one sticky wild is added to the reels on each of your seven spins.
If Aldo begins his journey in China, then you can expect to see trailing wilds come into play. They will follow across the reels, and you will also start with a 2x multiplier in play. Lastly, if Aldo is in the centre of the screen when the free spin round begins, then you will get a different feature on each free spin, depending on where Aldo is at the time. This is the mode you want to aim for, as it can also see you retrigger the feature. None of the other options provide this.
