Viking Runes Review
It's rare to find such a massive grid like the one in Viking Runes. It’s 81 symbols per spin, which is almost twice of what you get in a similar 7x7 title.
It’s not only the size that sets the 2 Norse-themed grid slots apart, as Viking Runes comes with 5 times the potential and simplified gameplay. The visual presentation is more cartoonish, and the base game is all about unlocking Lightning Wilds via consecutive cascading wins. 3 random modifiers can come in handy at times, and the bonus round is all about building massive wild multipliers.
Viking Runes Slot Features
You have 2 wilds that help you form winning clusters in this game. The regular wild steps in for all symbols, except for the Lightning Wilds. Winning clusters are removed from the grid via the Cascading Reels feature, and replaced by new winning chances dropping from above. This goes on as long as you keep winning.
The Lightning Wilds are at the core of this game, and there are 4 of them on display in the right-hand side meter. One Lightning Wild will land in a random position on the grid per winning cascade, starting with the green one at the bottom. The wilds remain in place for the duration of the cascade, but are removed on new paid spins.
You also have 3 randomly triggered modifiers in this game, and they can manifest both in the base game and during free spins. Only 1 will trigger within one cascading sequence however, and they play out as follows:
- Runic Shuffle – triggers on random non-winning spins, and reshuffles all the symbols for a guaranteed winning cluster.
- Spell of Ancestor – can trigger at the end of a cascade, and transforms all low value symbols into the same highest value low-paying rune stone.
- Viking Sorcery – can add 3 to 9 wilds randomly to the grid at the end of a cascading sequence.
You need at least 5 cascading wins in a row to trigger the Bonus Round, and this gives you 6 free spins. You’ll benefit from all 4 Lightning Wilds at the same time on each free spin, and they move to new random positions after each cascading win. Every time a Lightning Wild is part of a winning combo, its multiplier will increase by +1 with no upper limit. There are no extra spins or retriggers, so lengthy cascades is your best hope.
The 200 Spins Viking Runes Slot Experience
With such a massive 9x9 grid, a single wild will many times not make that much of an impact. However, we landed some smaller wins in the base game due to the randomly triggered modifiers. The bonus round starts at 1:34 into the 2-and-half-minute highlights video, but the build-up to it is well worth a peak too.
Review Summary
This game takes inspiration from similar titles, and significantly beefed up both the grid and the math model. Visually, it’s not as pleasing perhaps, but that’s hardly a dealbreaker.
The 6-spins bonus round can be a short-lived affair when you don’t hit much. However, when the Lightning Wild multipliers are cranked up to a decent level, and cascades keep piling up, massive payouts are possible.
