The theme of Aldo’s Journey is set to be adventuring traveling theme with Aldo being alongside you while you spin the reels. The symbols used at this slot are gems and the four-card-suits that we are already familiar with (spades, clubs, diamonds, and hearts) as the lower-rewarding symbols.

You will be traveling to Italy, Mongolia, Persia, China, and a special Journey trip with Aldo while looking for the big wins.
