Hidden Valley

American players may be disappointed to discover that Hidden Valley, the online video slot machine from Quickspin, is not an homage to delicious, creamy ranch dressing. But the rest of the world will rejoice in the entertaining experience of entering this magical land where beautiful beings and majestic creatures conspire to deliver wins to you.

The game has five reels, but the configuration is the kind that's rarely seen. The first and fifth reel have three rows, and the second, third and fourth reels have five rows, all framed in gold against a gorgeous background that features a waterfall in golden light. There are 40 pay lines, which are listed in very, very tiny boxes along the sides of the reel grid.

The minimum bet is .60 credits, and the maximum is 60 credits per spin. As always with Quickspin titles, Hidden Valley has an intuitive, user-friendly player dashboard that lets you set all of your parameters for gameplay.

The low-paying icons are the playing card icons – ace, king, queen, jack, and ten. Themed icons, with have higher payouts, are a yak, a bald eagle, a traveler, a hippie girl, and a bearded guy.

There is a Multiplier Wild that has a random multiplier for each spin. Whether you get a low or a high multiplier depends on how many coins you're betting per spin. It can substitute for any symbol except for the scatter.

Meanwhile, get at least three Bonus Scatters to start the free spin round. Here you'll spin a wheel to determine which of the high-payout symbols will be an extra wild, and how many free spins you'll get. During free spin mode all wins will be doubled.
