Pragmatic Play · 2022
Gates of Valhalla is a high volatility video slot from Pragmatic Play, with a 6x5 grid and Norse mythology. Here are the figures before your first spin.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and you must be 18+.
Choose Gates of Valhalla if you want a Norse mythology slot on a 6x5 grid with no fixed paylines. Three or more matching symbols pay when they connect across adjacent reels in any direction. Winning symbols then vanish, and new ones drop in from above, so one spin can run several wins in a row. A Roaming Wild collects a multiplier of 1x to 5x during each tumble chain.
Pick it for a multiplier that climbs through a bonus. Landing FREE SPINS scatters starts the round, where the win multiplier begins at 1x and rises by 1x after every tumble. Hitting three or more scatters during the round adds 10 more spins, with no cap on repeats. Special reels mark the round, which ends early at a total win of 10,000x the bet.

Gates of Valhalla
Read this before your first spin, so you know how each round runs.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$100 before the first spin. Wins are a multiple of the bet, so A$0.50, A$1 and A$5 show the scale.
Look for three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, in any direction. Winning symbols explode, new ones drop from above, and the chain continues until no new wins appear.
Follow the Roaming Wild as it moves across the grid and builds a multiplier of 1x to 5x during the tumble chain.
Land three, four or five FREE SPINS scatters to start 10, 12 or 15 free spins. The global win multiplier starts at 1x and climbs by 1x after every tumble.
Set your limit before the first spin, since no one knows how long a session will run. If play stops being fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.

You decide how long to play, but you cannot decide when the Free Spins arrive. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance in Gates of Valhalla, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP version in play. The RTP describes returns over a very long run, so it promises nothing for tonight.
Before you stake, open the game rules, because the RTP version in use is shown only there. Read the rules on each visit rather than trusting an earlier session's note. The rules name the version in use, and this page lists both options in the table, so you can match the two.
Treat the top prize as a distant number, not a target. The maximum win is a fixed multiple of your bet, a ceiling that few rounds reach. A round that reaches it is rare, so no session can be planned around it.
Two Ways In
Most players ask first whether the practice round will cost them anything at all.
Pick the demo to learn the reels before staking: it needs no money and pays nothing. Real play needs an Uwin Casino account and you must be 18+.

Four short answers
Uwin Casino puts the figures first, so you know what each one means before you spin.
Decide which return matters to you before you bet. The game runs at 96.46% or 96.60% RTP, so the 96.60% version returns slightly more over the long run. RTP is a long-run average across many rounds, not a promise for one session.
Pick a bet size that can handle dry spells before you start. High volatility means losing runs can last a while and the wins that land can be large. No one can predict when the free spins or a big win will land.
Check your bet before you spin, since the cap scales with it. The top prize sits at x10,000 of your bet, which is A$50,000 at the A$5 example bet and A$1,000,000 at the A$100 maximum bet. The cap is a ceiling, and nothing guarantees a win that size.
Keep an eye on the scatters, since they start the round. Three, four or five FREE SPINS scatters award 10, 12 or 15 spins. During the feature, three or more scatters add 10 more spins with no limit, and the win multiplier climbs by 1x after every tumble.
The legal age to play is 18+. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can join the BetStop self-exclusion register.
Decide how much you can lose before the first spin, and keep that amount in your account rather than topping up mid-session.
Set your stop point before you start, and stick to it after a win, since a big win gives no reason to keep going.
Choose deposit and loss limits on your account before you play, so each session starts from a number you picked.
If the game stops being fun, step away and wait a while before you return, and take a longer pause if you feel pushed to keep spinning.
