Viking Runecraft 100 Slot Review

Viking Runecraft 100 Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Viking Runecraft 100 slot is played on a 5×5 grid and uses the Cluster Pays mechanic. Wins are formed by landing 3 or more matching symbols on the grid in a row horizontally or vertically. Winning symbols are removed and the remaining symbols drop down to potentially form a new win. This continues until no new wins are formed or the grid is cleared. A win multiplier is also increased for each drop.

Stakes range from just 20p up to £100 per spin. While it caters to all bankrolls, it would have been nice to see it go as low as 10p for small-stakes players, but it matches other slots from the 100 series of games such as Moon Princess 100 and Sweet Alchemy 100. Hit the + and – buttons below the reels to adjust your total bet. You can also select the bet values shown. Autospins and turbo spins are options for non-UK players only.

The Viking Runecraft 100 RTP is 96.2%, which is above the industry average and very typical of many slots from Play’n GO. In terms of volatility, it’s in the high range.

The maximum win is 15,000 x the bet. The Free Spins feature will be your best chance of landing the top prize due to the 100x multipliers and the fact that you can enjoy up to 100 free spins in total. More on that bonus feature further down in the review.

Theme – Ragnarok looms on the horizon

The theme here is typically Scandinavian, with the Gods from Norse mythology playing a big part as you work with them to lead the battle and protect Asgard from Evil. The reels are set in front of a mountainous backdrop, with the aurora from the Northern Lights beaming through. It’s very similar to the original Viking Runcraft slot. The visuals are good, the symbols are colourful, and I like that the Gods appear to the right of the reels and come to life when their power is activated.

“Witness the might of the Gods” is the cry as soon as you load the slot. As you spin away, the audio is quite calming but dramatic at the same time if that makes sense. It fits the theme very well in my opinion.

On the reels, the low-paying symbols include an axe, an anchor, a helmet and a hammer. The 3 Gods are the higher-paying symbols. The God symbols pay the most and they also pay the same – 0.3, 1 or 10 x the bet for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

The game’s Wild is a big W in the form of what looks like a shield. The Wild substitutes for all symbols and pays up to 50 x the bet. Here’s a helpful list of the symbols you will come across while playing:

Symbol	Payouts/Info
Axe	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.2 or 2 x stake
Anchor	3, 4 or 5 = 0.1, 0.2 or 2 x stake
Helmet	3, 4 or 5 = 0.15, 0.3 or 3 x stake
Hammer	3, 4 or 5 = 0.15, 0.3 or 3 x stake
Heimdall	3, 4 or 5 = 0.3, 1 or 10 x stake
Freya	3, 4 or 5 = 0.3, 1 or 10 x stake
Thor	3, 4 or 5 = 0.3, 1 or 10 x stake
Wild	Substitutes for all + pays up to 50x

Viking Runecraft 100 Mobile

Created using HTML5 technology, the Viking Runecraft 100 mobile slot can be played on smartphones, tablets and desktops. With colourful graphics and fun overall gameplay, I really enjoy this 5×5 grid slot on a smaller screen.

Viking Runecraft 100 Bonus Features

There are 3 main bonus features to enjoy in the Viking Runecraft 100 slot game. There are 3 God Power modifiers, a Ragnarok feature and a Free Spins feature. Let’s explain how everything works so that you can fully understand the ins and outs of this game. We’ll start with the modifiers…

God Power feature

This bonus feature can randomly trigger after any non-winning spin. The visible God to the right of the reels will perform his or her respective power. Here is the power each God possesses:

• Thunder – Thor will convert 1 set of symbols.
• Magic – Freya will gift 1 or 2 Wilds.
• Vision – Heimdall with remove 2 sets of symbols.

Ragnarok feature

This bonus feature is easy to understand. There is a meter to the left of the grid as you’ll see from the screenshot above. God symbol wins will charge the meter:

• 5x fills up 3 sections
• 4x fills up 2 sections
• 3x fills up 1 section

Once the meter is full, all 3 Gods will perform their powers in 1 free round. If you manage to clear the grid during this feature, the Free Spins feature will be triggered.

Free Spins feature

Once you’ve triggered this bonus feature by clearing the grid in the Ragnarok feature, you will receive the following free spins depending on who the God to the right of the reels was at the time:

• Thor = 4 free spins
• Freya = 5 free spins
• Heimdall = 8 free spins

The Win Multiplier is also carried over from the Ragnarok feature and will only reset once the Free Spins feature is over. It can grow to a whopping 100x, hence the name of the slot.

During the spins, the chosen God Power feature is triggered on any spin where there is no winning combination. Full charge the meter and you will win additional free spins. If you manage to clear the grid, you won’t receive the usual 50 x prize, you’ll get more free spins as follows:

• Thor = 4 additional free spins
• Freya = 3 additional free spins
• Heimdall = 2 additional free spins

Viking Runecraft 100 Review Summary – superb gameplay

We’ve seen a few of these 100-type slots now, and this one is essentially a reskin of Moon Princess 100. But I’d put it more along the lines of Rise of Olympus 100 with its similarities. The gameplay is as good as ever, the visuals are solid and the soundtrack isn’t bad either. When you add in an above-average RTP rate of 96.2% and 15,000 x max wins, you’ve got a very good slot on your hands.

The only real downside to the Viking Runecraft 100 slot is that there’s nothing unique here. We’ve seen it all before. Now that might be music some some players’ ears, and there’s nothing wrong with it at all. I just like to see something new every now and then. Still, the slot is great fun and I really enjoyed testing it. I must admit, however, that I did struggle to clear the grid, so don’t expect that to happen often.
