Viking Wilds

Norse Slot Review

This Norse-themed slot was released across all casinos 27 March 2019. It comes with 5 reels, 4 rows and 1,024 paylines and a Tumbling Reels feature. However, the reel setup can expand to 5x5 at random, and you can benefit from up to 3,125 paylines. The base game is packed with wilds, and the free spins feature comes with progressive multipliers for a max win up to 6000 times your stake.

Slot RTP, variance & technical data

Before we take a closer look at all the fun stuff you’ll find in this slot, we thought you might like a summary of the most important technical data:

• RTP: 96%
• Volatility/Variance: Med-High
• Layout: 5x4 (5x5)
• Paylines: 1024 to 3125
• Bonus features: Free spins, Tumbling Reels feature, Sticky wilds, Expanding wilds, Expanding reels and Multipliers
• Bets: 0.2 to 50
• Max wins (coins): 300 000

With an RTP of 96% you cannot really get closer the industry norm, but this game sticks out by having a rather high volatility. This means that you need some patience and a cool head, and it’s also wise to adjust your bet level according to what your bankroll can handle.

There are many Norse-themed slots out there, so the question is can this slot compete with the best of them? You’ll be taken on a journey with a winged warrior Valkyrie and a Viking Berzerker on a quest along the nordic fjords to open the gates of Valhalla. This game really caught us by surprise with its high potential and fun features.

The reels will expand at random during the base game, and the paylines will thus vary between 1024 and 3125. The base game comes with a Tumbling Reels feature, as well as sticky wilds and expanding wilds and regular wilds. You need all 3 together to activate the free spins feature, and here you can also benefit from progressive multipliers and reel setup with a max win of 6000x your stake.

Slot bonus features

This slot comes with a Tumbling Reels feature. Winning combinations are removed, and gives way for new combinations to form. This goes on until no more winning combos are formed. The reels can also expand at random to a 5x5 setup and 3,125 ways to win.

Wilds are also important in this game, and aside from the regular wild you’ll find a sticky wild that can only appear on the middle reel. This sticky wild will drop one position down for every avalanche win, and you can also benefit from an expanding wild that can appear on all reels except the first.

Slot free spins

Triggering the free spins feature on this slot is somewhat tricky. You’ll have to land a standard wild, a sticky wild and an expanding wild all on the same spin (including avalanche spins), and this will unlock the 3 keys you see on the left hand side of the reels.

You’ll get 12 free spins with a 1x multiplier on the standard 5x4 reel setup, but if the triggering spin happened on an expanded reel setup you’ll have an even better start:

• 1 expanded reel gives you 14 free spins and 2x multiplier
• 3 expanded reels give you 16 free spins and 3x multiplier
• 5 expanded reels gives you 18 free spins and 4x multiplier

If you land an expanding wild during the free spins feature the reels will increase in size, and your multiplier boost will increase by 1x. The reels can expand up to 3,125 paylines, just like in the base game.

Slot jackpot (max win)

There is no progressive jackpot to be won on this slot, and no local jackpot either. However, since this is a high variance game, you can expect a decent potential here. The max win is 6,000 times your stake, and this amounts to £300,000 if you play with maximum stakes.

Slot mobile & tablet

Sure, you can play this slot on both mobile and tablet, and this is a fun game to bring with you wherever you might go. It looks good on any platform, and you can play on your Android devices or your iPhone and iPad.

Slot verdict

We have to say that this is a pretty good game from a small developer, but it will not compete among the best viking slots out there. The developers have not put to much into the backstory, and the graphics cannot compete with the likes of leaders in the industry. The free spins feature makes the game worth a try, not least since you can win up to 6000x your stake. The Tumbling Reels feature and all the wilds makes the base game interesting also.
