In terms of volatility, it’s classed as 4/5 by Quickspin so it’s medium to high. When it comes to payouts, the max win is 6,804.35 x your total bet. This will be won every 100 million spins on average. Winning 100 x your total bet or higher will take 820 spins (again, on average).

Theme – go on a journey through Ragnarök

With an Norse Mythology theme, the Raven Rising slot takes you on a journey through Ragnarök. This is, according to Quickspin, a mythological even filled with intense battles and mighty Norse gods. Your aim is to guide Vikings on their trek from Midgård to Ragnarök with the help of a mystical raven.

Follow the raven to facilitate the Vikings release mythical stones energy which possesses the power of Thor, the hammer-wielding God of Thunder. With a snowy setting, you will see Vikings on either side of the reels. With the black raven perched on top of the reels, the soundtrack has a mythical feel. Production wise, Raven Rising is as good as they come.

On the reels you will see Ace, King, Queen and Jack royals which are Norse style and on stone blocks. Then you have axes, hammers, Freyja and Odin. Odin is the best paying symbol awarding 1.25, 7.5 or 75 x your total bet for 3, 4 or 5 across any payline.

There is a gold Wild symbol that substitutes for all symbols above. Importantly, 3, 4 or 5 wilds on a payline awards 2.5, 12.5 or 125 x your total bet. The other symbol you will encounter is the Raven Scatter which triggers free spins (more details below).

Raven Rising Bonus Features

The Raven Rising slot benefits from 4 bonus features. With an increasing multiplier for every tumble/win, the main focus it the Ragnarök Free Spins feature where you can gamble for more free spins and see the multiplier increase by 1 for every winning symbol.

Multiplier feature

In the base game, every winning combination gives you a tumble. The Multiplier feature is then triggered with the multiplier increasing by 1 every time a set of winning symbols are removed from the reels.

Ragnarök Free Spins feature

The Ragnarök Free Spins feature is activated when 3 or more Raven Scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels in the base game. 3, 4 or 5 scatters will award 7, 10 or 15 free spins respectively.

Before they begin, you can gamble your free spins in favour of an extra Raven Scatter. Known as the Ragnarök Gamble feature, you can gamble until you have all 5 Raven Scatters or lose the feature entirely. Each successful gamble with award more free spins. As mentioned, 4 or 5 Raven Scatters will result in 10 or 15 free spins respectively.

Once in, 3, 4 or 5 scatters will add 3, 5 or 7 free spins to your total. More importantly, the multiplier is increases by 1 for every winning symbol that is removed. If you were to get a win with 5 symbols, 5 symbols will be removed meaning the multiplier increases by 5. The multiplier doesn’t reset between free spins and can only increase.

For non-UK players, there is a Buy feature. You can buy your way into the Ragnarök Free Spins feature directly for a fee of 100 x your total bet.

Raven Rising Review Summary – max win potential doesn’t match high multipliers in free spins

Aesthetically very good, the Raven Rising slot is superb visually and has a real immersive quality. The soundtrack is particular good and the graphics are high definition.

The rising multiplier in the base game keep things ticking along but this game focuses on the Ragnarök Free Spins feature. I like the fact the multiplier rises by 1 for each winning symbol and doesn’t reset between free spins. That said, the max win of 6,804.35 x bet per free spin isn’t as high as it shouldn’t be.

A screen full of Odin symbols will result in a 1,500 x bet payout whilst a screen full of wilds will pay 2,500 x bet. If you added in the rising multiplier, huge wins could be theoretically achieved. If Raven Rising offered a max win of 25,000 x bet or higher, Quickspin would have been onto a real winner.

There are a huge range of Norse Mythology/Viking themed slots available to UK players. Raven Rising looks the part and has decent bonus features. Unfortunately it doesn’t offer the win potential to make it stand out in a very competitive genre.

Other Norse themed slots offer much bigger win potential and decent gameplay. Games Global’s Thunderstruck Wild Lightning comes with 15,000 x bet payouts as well as 5 free spins features. You also have NetEnt’s Vikings which is the official slot for the TV series. It offers Raid Spins with 7 reels and 78,125 ways to win, which can lead to 10,000 x bet top wins.
