How to Play

As Vikings slot is fully licensed, many of the symbols in this game are directly based off characters from the show. These include four fearsome warriors, all of which can offer a pretty penny if you’re lucky.

The most valuable symbol in the game is the Vikings logo, which will offer a payout worth 70x your stake for a seven-symbol win. Then there are the characters; Ragnar, Lagertha, Bjorn and Floki. Each of these will pay 28x your stake, again for seven icons, so they have the potential to be quite rewarding.

The low-value symbols are represented by the standard playing cards A, K, Q, J and 10, all of which will offer 20x if you line seven of them up on an active payline. There is a single scatter in this game; the Raid Spins icon, which will trigger the corresponding bonus.

There is a decent range of betting options available in this title, starting as low as 20p per spin and rising to 100.00. The RTP of this slot is 96.05%, which is around the average you would expect.

Bonus Features

Raid Spins

To trigger this feature, you will have to land three Raid Spins scatters in a single spin. This will take you to a new reel set with 7 reels and with the full amount of paylines active - 78,125 to be precise.

You will have seven spins on this reel set. The Hotspot feature will remain active on the third, fourth and fifth reels, so you could see multiple stacked symbols. The biggest payout in the game can be won in this round, which is equal to a whopping 10,000x your stake.

Shield Wall

This is a randomly triggering bonus that can occur in either the base game or the Raid Free spins mode. A group of mystery symbols, displayed as the Shield Wall, will appear on the reels. These will then turn into another symbol which is randomly picked and a new calculation will be made.

This bonus can be randomly triggered at any point during your gameplay, both in the base game and Raid Free spins. The Shield Wall will appear in the reels as several mystery symbols. These will then morph into an identical icon before a new calculation is made.

Hotspot

This bonus revolves entirely around the Viking characters, which can land fully stacked. If this happens on the third reel, all the high-value icons will transform into the one that triggered the bonus. This could lead to a new calculation and payout, as you could obtain multiple reels of fully stacked high-value symbols.

Vikings at Kerching

There are plenty of Nordic-themed titles available in the world of online gaming, but Vikings slots manages to set itself apart from the rest. A big part of this is the graphics, which have had a lot of care afforded to them. As soon as you start the game up, you’ll be treated to a fully animated introduction, with scenes and characters lifted from the show.

The action on the reels is rendered wonderfully too, with the whole thing showing off a gritty, dark aesthetic. This is particularly apparent in the high-value symbols, with the depictions of the characters about as accurate as you could hope for. NetEnt hasn’t pulled any punches, with bloodstains, crows and other images of war littered in the backdrop of the reels.

It’s not the visuals that delight here though, the bonus features are great too, with a variety of effects to take advantage of. The Raid Spins are the main attraction without a doubt, expanding the number of paylines and reels to increase your chances of landing a win. However, both the Shield Wall and Hotspot bonus can provide a nice boost to your overall winnings. This is one slot that certainly lives up to NetEnt’s reputation.
