Trolls Bridge from Yggdrasil Gaming: Slot Review - cross this bridge if you dare!

Take a trip to a magical realm where a horde of trolls eagerly awaits your arrival in this new title from leading software provider Yggdrasil Gaming. Trolls are typically green-skinned creatures not known for their intelligence or wit but on the battlefield that is where they display their best skills. Some like to eat human flesh whereas others prefer to live under a bridge and not let folk pass unless they answer either a riddle or pass a special test. This game focuses on the latter as it revolves around a bunch of trolls who are occupying a bridge and thereby blocking access to the nearest castle. Let’s see if these fearsome looking monsters will help us hoard some giant wins on the reels?

Trolls Bridge is a 5 reel slot game with 20 paylines that features Free Spins, Sticky Wilds, a Golden Bet option, and Bonus Pot/Bonus Stone bonus rounds.

Special Features

The first feature to discuss is the Golden Bet feature. This is an optional betting feature displayed as a shining gold and blue button next to the spin button on the reels. If you turn this option on then the betting range will increases from 0.25 to 250.00 per spin which is originally set from 0.20 to 200.00 per spin. This feature also increases the RTP from 96% to 96.3% and gives you an extra feature pick for the special Free Spins Bonus Game.

Trolls Bridge features 2 bonus features that only appear in the main game. If you manage to land the Bonus Pot symbol on reel 5 then you will be nicely rewarded with up to 10 Free Spins plus features attached or an instant coin prize. Also, keep an eye out for the Bonus Stone symbol which can appear on any of the reels randomly and when it does then you will be awarded a multiplier as high as 5X for a winning spin or up to 1,000 coins for a losing spin.

The Wild symbol in this game is denoted by an image of a gold troll crest with the word ‘Wild’ displayed across it. This symbol replaces all other symbols and always substitutes for the highest winning combination.

The Scatter symbol is represented by an image of a pack of blue and gold cards. Land 3 or more of these symbols anywhere on the reels and you will trigger the highly entertaining Free Spins Bonus Game. Free Spins come with 3 to 6 bonus feature picks and the more Scatters you land then the more Free Spins and feature picks you will receive. 3, 4, or 5 Scatters awards 6 Free Spins + 3 Features, 8 Free Spins + 4 Features, or 10 Free Spins + 5 Features. As soon as the Free Spins bonus game triggers, you will get to pick from the cards to choose from an excellent range of extras. As touched on earlier, you'll also receive an extra feature pick here if you have activated the Golden Bet featured. Feature Picks include Extra Free Spins, Random Wilds, Sticky Wilds, Additional Wilds, Stacked Trolls, and 2X Multipliers. These can considerably boost your payouts by quite some margin with Sticky Wilds and 2X Multipliers being the most profitable.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The presentation of the game is top-drawer as it features bright and colourful cartoon-like graphics and is exactly what we’ve come to expect from the creative minds at Yggdrasil Gaming. Trolls Bridge takes place in front of the entrance to the bridge controlled by the horde of trolls. You’ll notice rudimentary pulleys and levers are used to control the bridge which are cleverly displayed as the reels in the game. Symbols are expertly designed and consist of a variety of trolls with each one different from the other along with classic Hearts/Diamonds/Spades/Clubs icons. The animations are stylish as symbols fly up and down the reels and then enlarge and move about onscreen when part of a winning payline.

The music is playful and melodic with an air of mystery about it. It fits in really well with the fantasy theme of the game.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 20 paylines, a maximum RTP of 96.3%, and a top payout worth 4,000X your stake.

Below is a summary taken from the PayOut Table from the game. The amount won for each combination depends on the value of the bet when you spin the reels.
