Theme – a stylish Scandi saga

Relax Gaming has done a fine job with the design in the Volatile Vikings slot. With a viking theme, the visuals here are supremely stylish.

A frozen port and a Viking longship form the backdrop to the action. The superb visuals are complemented by a cracking soundtrack that has a real martial flavour that matches the viking theme. It has a touch of Game of Thrones to it. Overall, you won’t play many slots that are look or sound as good as Volatile Vikings.

The game grid comprises 4 lower value rune stones and 5 more rewarding carved wooden head statues. The bull-like statue is the best paying of the quintet and pays 50 x your total stake if you land 12 or more anywhere on the reels.

Volatile Vikings Mobile

You can play Volatile Vikings on desktop, tablet and mobile devices. They all come with the same terrific design flair as well as the volatile gameplay where cascading reels and multipliers are the key to success. The Volatile Vikings mobile slot is a very playable one.

Volatile Vikings Bonus Features

Multipliers and free spins are a pretty common feature combination. The way they come together in Volatile Vikings is a little unusual though. They can combine to excellent effect in the free spins though. There’s a total of 4 bonus features.

Cascading feature

After a winning combination is formed, the Cascading feature is activated and a cascade follows. The successful symbols are removed from the grid and new symbols drop in and replace them. The cascades continue until no new winner is created.

Multiplier Reveal feature

On each spin in the Volatile Vikings slot game, you’ll see 2 Multiplier Reveal symbols. 1 will be on reel 3, the second on reel 4. These special symbols are made up of 2 numbers. One of them is the counter, the other the multiplier. For example, you might see a Multiplier Reveal symbols with 3x/4. That means that after 4 successful cascades, a 3x multiplier is activated.

During a successful cascade, the counter drops by 1. If you manage to get the counter all the way down to zero, it brings the multiplier into play. This is known as the Multiplier Reveal feature.

When the multiplier is revealed, up to 8 adjacent symbols are blasted off the grid to create a new cascade. If you manage to activate both multipliers, their values are added together. Multipliers are applied to the total win at the end of a spin. There are 10 possible Multiplier Reveal symbols. These range from 1x/6 right up to 100x/2!

Free Spins feature

Land 3 bonus symbols on the same spin and you’ll activate the Free Spins feature and with it 6 free spins. Each extra bonus symbol on the triggering spin adds another free spin to that total. Just like in the base game, cascading reels are in play here. Each set of cascades continues until no new winning combination is created.

The Multiplier Reveal symbols are also active during the free spins. The big difference being that Multiplier Reveal symbols are persistent and don’t reset with each free spin. All revealed multipliers are collected in the meter to the right of the reels. Each win from the free spins is then boosted by the total of the collected multipliers in the meter. The value of these multipliers can continue to rise throughout the feature.

Landing a Bonus symbol during the feature adds 1 more free spin to your total. This can reward you with unlimited free spins potentially.

Buy feature

In some territories, players will have the option to buy the free spins for a fee of 100 x stake. This is known as the Buy feature.

Volatile Vikings Review Summary – design and gameplay impress in this volatile epic

The Volatile Vikings slot is very nicely constructed. Both the design and gameplay stack up very nicely indeed. The sound and visuals are packed full of flair and the features can deliver some cracking action. I like the Scatter Pays mechanic which is unusual but most welcome. It can be found in Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Bonanza by the way.

With 20,000 x stake max wins, the key to big wins is from the Free Spins feature, as the multipliers can only increase. You need to get on a roll with cascades to do this. Tread carefully, as the action here is most definitely of the high variance variety.

If you like a good old Scandi sage, you’ll want to set sail with these Volatile Vikings as it’s unique in terms of gameplay. Other top Viking-related slot games include Vikings: The Saga of Fenrir Foxium, Thunderstruck 2 by Games Global, and Vikings Unleashed Megaways from Blueprint Gaming.
