Skadi’s Hunt Slot Review

Skadi’s Hunt Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The action in the Skadi’s Hunt slot plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win. To form a winning combination, you need to land 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols or wilds on adjacent reels from left to right, starting from reel 1. They don’t have to be directly next to each other, anywhere on the reel will do.

Stakes start range from 10p to £1,000 per spin catering for micro players and mega high rollers. Click on the Total Bet box then choose from the options shown.  There’s a basic Auto Spin function where up to 50 auto spins can be chosen including loss limits.

The Skadi’s Hunt RTP is 96.18% which is slightly better than average. The volatility here is in the medium range. Whilst this is all pretty standard fare, the max win is 10,000 x your total stake. This can arise in the free spins due to the multiplier which can reach 5x.

Theme – sound the horn and join the Norse goddess

The Skadi’s Hunt slot has a Norse mythology theme. For those not up to speed on it, Skadi was the goddess associated with bowhunting, skiing, winter and mountains. She was also the giant wife of the sea god Njörd. According to legend, she avenged the death of her father, the giant Thiazi, by taking up arms and attacking the rival tribe of the gods (the Aesir) in Asgard. She’s no shrinking violet then.

There’s a suitably wintry setting for Skadi’s Hunt. There’s a comic book quality to the imagery here which is very nicely done. This is definitely one of IGT’s better efforts when it comes to design. It’s a similar story with the sweeping soundtrack which fits this epic theme perfectly.

Set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains, the reels are watched over by Skadi and her owl companion. Joining the lower value runestones on the reels are flora, mushrooms, arrow tips and a hunting horn. The owl is the top standard symbol, paying 0.4, 4, 20 or 200 x your total stake if you manage to land 5 in combination.

Skadi is the wild. She substitutes for everything apart from the scatter and can land anywhere apart from reel 1. The wolf is the scatter. Landing 3 or more of these triggers the game’s only bonus feature.

Skadi’s Hunt Bonus Features

The gameplay in Skadi’s Hunt is nice and straightforward. There’s only the 1 bonus feature but it still offers some decent variety. Choose from a selection of free spins and multiplier combinations.

Free Spins Bonus feature

To trigger the Free Spins Bonus feature, you’ll need to land 3, 4 or 5 wolf scatters from left to right on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1. After receiving a payout equal to 5, 10 or 20 x your total stake, you’ll be offered the pick of a selection of free spins and multiplier combinations. These vary depending on the number of scatters on the triggering spin:

Land 3 or more wolf scatters from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel and you’ll receive a retrigger. You’ll then get another pick from the award table and more free spins with a multiplier boost. The feature can be retriggered multiple times with a maximum of 440 free spins up for grabs.

Skadi’s Hunt Review Summary – basic gameplay but visuals + max win potential impress

As far as the gameplay in the Skadi’s Hunt slot is concerned, IGT has kept things nice and simple. The only feature is the Free Spins Bonus feature with multipliers. The ability to choose the number of free spins and what multiplier is active isn’t hugely original but it’s a nice addition.

Whilst playing with more free spins is appealing, the bigger payouts come from choosing the high multipliers. With a maximum win of 2,000 x stake per spin, the 2x, 3x and 5x multipliers can result in 4,000, 6,000 and 10,000 x stake payouts per free spin.

Visually, Skadi’s Hunt is very appealing. IGT has really upped its game design wise with its more recent releases. It’s not massively innovative but the classy design and big potential payouts make this Scandi saga worth a look.

A slot you should try by IGT is Skeleton Key which also comes with excellent design. It focuses on free spins with an increasing multiplier. This can lead to 83,333 x stake max wins.

If it’s Norse mythology you’re after, Age of the Gods: Glorious Griffin by Playtech comes with a cool free spins feature, 40,960 x stake max wins and 4 progressive jackpots.
