Viking Games Slot Review
Cross-dressing isnât a modern phenomenon. Thor did it to deceive a giant who stole his hammer đ¨, Mjollnir, and would only give it back if the goddess Freyja agreed to marry him.
Dressing up as a chick is an impressive thing to do in a society where gods plucked out an eye đď¸ in exchange for the gift of wisdom; thatâs some manly shit right there!
At least Thor got his hammer back and beat the living Bejesus đĽ out of the giant, so I guess the ends justified the means.
This is Viking Games slot from Platipus Gaming.
Gameplay
Welcome to the land of mushroom-eating, beer-swilling, and pillaging. Viking-themed games were a dime a dozen not so long ago and then they became pretty infrequent⌠but here we go again.
This one opens with four characters surrounding the grid, and some funky animations give the game some pizzazz.
Now, letâs talk symbols. The Wild replaces all symbols that arenât Scatters, Coins or Reset symbols. Youâll only see Wilds on reels 2 and 4.
Scatters hit the first, third, and fifth reels, and landing 3 or more triggers the Free Spins round. Coin symbols land on any of the reels, but only during Free Spins. Another one that only hits during Free Spins is the Reset symbol.
The stats reveal 243 winning ways, a 95.38% RTPRTP stands for âReturn to Player.â The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a gameâs volatility rate., and a medium volatility rate. But â and you may not believe this â you can score a Cuerdale Hoard-sized win of $353,250! The max multiplier is 4,710x.
Features
QUAD REEL FREE SPINS:
Before things kick off in earnest, youâll be asked to pick one of the 4 options â as represented by our 4 characters â and if you canât decide, the software can choose for you.
- 25 spins plus 2x Wild Multipliers that are applied to all wins that pass through them
- 20 spins plus 2x and 3x Wild Multipliers (same principle as above)
- 15 spins plus 3x and 5x Wild Multipliers (you get it)
- 10 spins plus 5x Wild Multipliers (do I need to say anything?)
If winning combos include 2 Wild symbols, their multipliers will be multiplied.
Then youâll segway into a screen with 4 grids â some will be locked until a random number of spins has taken place. Youâll only play with your chosen character, though.
OK, it works like this: you collect Coins that land on the screen next to your character. If a Reset symbol lands on any of the grids, it will reset to zero the number of Coins collected by the character who has the most.
Why is this important, you ask? Because the object of the round is for your character to collect the most Coins. If that happens, or if youâre tied with another character, youâll be paid the sum of all the wins on screen!
If you donât collect the most Coins, youâll only be paid the winnings your character has accumulated.
BUY BONUS:
Itâll cost you 51x your bet (not bad, at all) to gain immediate entry into the Free Spins round.
Performance
Hundreds of spins, no issues â that was my experience while testing Viking Games slot.
Maximum Win
Combine a bet of $75 with the 4,710x max multiplier to score a win worth $353,250. The minimum bet is $0.30.
Conclusion
Well, would you look at that? Quad-grid games are making a comeback. I recently reviewed Cats of Olympuss slot which, in addition, also lets you pick from facedown cards for the number of spins, as well as Upgrade Cards.
Upgrade Cards remove low-paying symbols or add Stacked WildsUnlike fully expanded Wilds, which is a single Wild that takes over an entire reel, Stacked Wilds will appear as individual symbols stacked one on top of another. They can take over a reel but donât always have to., and the cat-themed game offers a max win of $263,880 and a max multiplier of 13,194x with a medium volatility rate.
But enough about other games⌠something I found with Viking Games slot is that it took an inordinately long time to trigger Free Spins, so I ended up using the Buy Bonus a lot. And at the bargain price of 51x, why not?
And let me tell you, things can get pretty damn fruity if your character is on point with its Coin collecting skills. Choosing between characters is difficult, so some experimentation is needed to see which one works best for you.
Overall, this game was a lot of fun to play and has the potential to be richly rewarding.
