Vikings Slot Review

Vikings Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Vikings slot starts off on 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win. You can land a winning combination of matching symbols on adjacent reels (next to each other) beginning from reel 1. In the Raid Spins feature, you play with 7 reels, 5 rows and 78,125 ways to win.

Playable from 20p to £100 per spin, there’s an Autoplay function where you can play anything up to 1,000 autospins. If you go to the Advanced Settings section, you can stop the Autoplay in a number of ways. This includes any win if the Raid Spins feature is triggered if a single win exceeds a chosen amount or if your balance increases or decreases by a chosen amount.

A high variance slot, the Vikings RTP is 96.05%, which is average for an online slot. The hit frequency is 18.05%, meaning less than 1 in 5 spins will result in a winning combination. The game may be branded but can lure you in and bleed your bankroll dry.

To compensate, the max win per spin is 10,000 x stake. This can be achieved in the Raid Spins feature. The most you can win in the base game is 607.5 x stake.

Theme – Official Slot for TV Series

The Vikings slot is the official game for the Vikings television series. As you join the most famous Norse raiders of all time, the design is inspired by the show. Set in the Norwegian fields, it’s a nighttime setting as you will see the black crow to the side of the reels.

The soundtrack is epic in nature and will get you in the mood to storm the seas with the Vikings. NetEnt has spared no expense with this release.

Symbols include A, K, Q, J and 10 royals as well as your favourite Viking characters. There’s chieftain Ragnar Lothbrok, shieldmaiden Lagertha as well as Floki and Bjorn. There’s also the Vikings ‘V’ symbol, which is the most rewarding, giving you 7 x your stake for 7 across a payline.

You will also see Raid Spins scatter symbols that trigger the free spins and a shield scatter symbol, which brings the Shield Wall feature into play. There is no wild symbol. Anyway, here’s a list of all symbols and their payouts/functions:

Vikings Mobile

Vikings can be played on desktop, mobile and tablet devices as NetEnt has made it using HTML5 technology. Even in the Raid Spins feature, where the reel set expands to 7 reels and 5 rows, the graphics and animations look great even on smartphones.

Vikings Bonus Features

The Vikings slot comes with 3 bonus features. You have the Hotspot feature where a fully stacked Viking symbol sees other Viking symbols transform into that symbol. Then, there’s the Shield Wall feature, where a random area displays the same symbol. In the Raid Spins feature, there are 3 Hotspots, and you can play on an expanded reel set with 7 reels and 78,125 ways to win. This increases your chances of forming bigger winning combinations.

Hotspot feature

Vikings comes with a Hotspot feature. This is triggered when a fully stacked Viking symbol (either Floki, Bjorn, Lagertha or Ragnar) lands fully in a Hotspot on reel 3. All other Viking symbols on the reels transform into that symbol. For example, if Ragnar Lothbrok lands in the Hotspot, all other Vikings (Floki, Bjorn and Lagertha) will transform into Ragnar Lothbrok symbols.

What’s better is that it will pay scatter style, meaning that you’ll get bigger wins. You’ll get a win for just 3 symbols right up to 27 with a top reward of 243 times your total stake.

Shield Wall feature

Vikings also comes with a Shield Wall feature, which can be triggered in both the base game and Raid Spins feature (more on the latter below). The Shield Wall appears as a cluster of mystery symbols in a random area on the reels. These transform into a randomly chosen symbol.

Raid Spins feature

Finally, Vikings offers you the Raid Spins feature which is triggered when you get 3 Raid Spins symbols on the reels. You will then play on a 7 reel, 5 rows, 78,125 ways to win reel set. You will be rewarded with 7 raid spins with 3 Hotspots on reels 3, 4 and 5.

If a fully stacked Viking symbol lands fully in 1 or more of the Hotspots, all other Viking symbols outside and inside the Hotspots transform into the same Viking symbol that triggered the Hotspot feature. This allows for lots of the same Viking symbol to appear on the reels for huge wins, to the tune of 10,000 x your stake on each raid spin.
