Vikings

NetEnt software powers a number of top slot games that are currently available on online casino websites. The Vikings slot game is one of their more recent titles, and like their previous games it is an enjoyable and engaging slot. It has a great background, well designed characters and attractive reels and symbols. Looks aren’t everything of course, but thankfully the gameplay itself is incredibly entertaining.

This Vikings slot game review will act as an introduction to the game, explain how it all works, if players stand a good chance of seeing some money back when playing, and if NetEnt have included any fun bonus features.

Gameplay

Slot games are increasingly being based off of pre-existing films or television shows. This is another that falls into this category, as it is based on the Vikings TV series, available on Amazon Prime. So of course these long haired and bearded men take centre stage in this game.

The game begins with a standard three rows and five reels, and has 243 unique paylines. The lower value symbols are Jack, Queen, King and Ace, while landing three, four or five Viking characters themselves on the reels will result in bigger payouts. Logo is the most valuable of the Viking characters, as by matching five of us symbols leads to X50 of players’ original stake.

RTP

The RTP for the Vikings slot game is 96.05%, which is fairly standard when compared to similar video slot games.

Vikings slot Free Play

If it all sounds a bit complicated, and you are new to online slots, we recommend trying out the Vikings free play edition of the game to begin with. This will help to gain some experience before giving the paid version a go, and risking your own hard-earned money.

Bonus Features

The moment you’ve been waiting for in this Vikings review, the reveal of the bonus features. When one of the fully stacked symbols of the characters Bjorn, Ragnor, Floki or Lagertha lands on a hotspot on the third reel, the hotspot feature will begin. Here, it turns all other Viking symbols on the other reels into the one you’ve stacked, leading to some increased winnings.

Landing three raid symbols will lead to the raid spins feature. The board will increase to seven reels, and a staggering 78,125 paylines. It will give players seven raid spins, and three hotspots on the third, fourth and fifth reels. Combined with the hotspot feature, there is a great chance to secure some serious winnings here.

There is also the shield wall feature, which is randomly triggered. A cloud of mysterious symbols appear and land erratically on the reels. They will then change to one of the symbols currently on the reels, which should hopefully lead to another big win.
