The Land of Heroes Slots
Slot games are more than just games, sometimes they can be invitations to immerse yourself into a fictional yet beautiful universe. And to win big cash prizes on the way, naturally.
The Land of Heroes by Gamomat (formerly Bally Wulff) is one of those games that bets on its graphics and backstory. The game will take you back through time all the way to Scandinavia to pay a visit to the fierce Vikings at home, before they set out on one of their infamous raids across Europe. Do you have what it takes to sneak into their homes and snatch the riches they have gathered?
Read our detailed review and use it as a map to The Land of Heroes, and you can rest assured that you journey will be both safe and rewarding.
Onto a Quest of Gold and Glory
The Land of Heroes is just as impressive as its name suggest, so prepared to a fully immersive gaming experience.
The game takes players deep into the forests of Scandinavia, in a valley dominated by tall mountains and covered in lush trees. The quantity of details and the sheer graphic quality of the game are enough to catch a player’s eye immediately.
You may well want to spend a little time just looking at the background of The Land of Heroes, but sooner or later the old reflexes will kick in and you will want to know how to play – and win. Let’s take a look at how to do that in the next section.
We Need a Hero
Now that you have had your fill of natural beauty, the time has come to set the reels into motion and start winning some money.
The game matrix consists of 5 reels with three symbol positions on each, and either 10 or 20 paylines. As usual, the command bar is located at the bottom of the game screen, right below the reels. Use it as well as the side tabs in order to adjust your bet settings, that is to say the number of activated paylines and the size of your wager itself. Remember that bigger wins on multiple paylines might be risky but they also yield larger rewards in the future. Once your choice is made, hit the play button to start your turn or use the max bet shortcut to go all-in on all paylines with a single click of your mouse. After each win, you can increase your reward by playing one of the two optional mini games available. Whichever you choose, a wrong click could easily make your winnings go away forever, so be careful.
If you would rather go straight to the action and focus on the base game, why not try the autoplay mode? The reels will keep on spinning with your bet settings intact until you decide to revert to single-spin mode.
Classic Icons and Viking Artefacts
The Land of Heroes features a generous paytable, with plenty of symbols to choose from. You could split it into two distinct categories.
The first group contains the well-known card icons, from number 9 to the Ace. Combine them and you will win relatively small rewards, but your changes of scoring are higher than ever given how common those symbols are on the reels.
The Viking artefacts and characters make up the second symbol group. In ascending order of value, you have a sword, a shield and a music instrument, followed by a black raven and a Viking maiden. Five maidens in a row award a prize no less than 750 times the size of your wager.
Open the Gates to Valhalla
The Land of Heroes would not be a slot game worthy of the game without a few bonus features to spice things up a little. This time, we have two extra symbols.
The almighty Thor himself is both the most valuable symbol of the entire game and the wild card. Use him to take the place of any other symbol and thus complete even more winning combinations on screen.
The scatter of the game is represented by a mysterious golden spinning instrument. All you need to do is score three or more scatters anywhere on the screen, aligned or not, to win a sizeable prize and a bonus reward of 7 free spins featuring up to four extra wilds.
Holdin’ out for a Hero
The Land of Heroes has an impressive name and equally impressive graphics. The developers clearly wanted to offer players a truly immersive experience, and the result is very convincing.
On a side note, and even though they are more than satisfactory, the different rewards available throughout the game are still lower than in other games of the same developer.
