Explore four different countries: China, Italy, Persia and Mongolia – each with their own unique features – with the ever-adventurous Aldo in this fun, cartoon themed slot from Yggdrasil. The game makes innovative use of the standard wild and free spins features to offer a unique and immersive gaming experience.

Game Symbols

The game’s high value symbols are shown as precious gems such as rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and amethysts.
The game’s lower value symbols are represented by engraved card suits.
During the base game, a solid gold coin acts as the wild, and will substitute for any standard pay symbol to help you complete winning paylines. There is also the journey Wild – which we will explain further below.
An ornate compass is the scatter symbol and it is instrumental in the free spins feature.

1.Italy free spins starts with a 2x multiplier, increasing by 1 with each free spin to reach a maximum of 9x
2.With Mongolia free spins, 1 regular symbol is removed from the reels after each free spin, increasing the chances of high-value symbol winning combinations.
