- If you click Max Bet this will set the games maximum bet possible
- Hitting spin will then set the reels in motion
- You can also use the games Autoplay feature. Simply select how many autospins you want the game to do and hit spin
Slot Features
With a game as critically acclaimed as this one you’d expect it to be filled with exciting features and of course it is. You’ll take on the world with a Hotspot Feature, a Shield Wall Feature, a Raid Spins Feature and a Raid Spins mode including 3 Hotspots.
Hotspot Feature
As the characters Floki, Bjorn, Lagertha and Ragnor line the reels this feature is triggered when one of their fully stacked Viking symbols land in a Hotspot on reel 3. Once triggered it turns all the other Vikings symbols that are displayed on the reels into that symbol. So, if you land Floki in the Hotspot all the other Vikings you can see on the reels will also become Floki to increase your chances of winning.
Shield Wall Feature
You also have a Shield Wall Feature which can trigger during base game spins or during the Raid Spins feature. This is a randomly triggered feature where you’ll see a cluster of mystery symbols form in a random area of the reels. They will all transform into one of the symbols on the paytable to hopefully generate you a nice win.
Raid Spins Feature
During this feature you will open up the game to its maximum potential playing with 7 reels, 5 rows and 78,125 paylines. This feature is triggered when you get 3 Raid Symbols on your reels.
The game will award you with 7 Raid Spin and this time you don’t get just 1 Hotspot you get a very generous 3 Hotspots which are on reels 3, 4 and 5. If you land one of the fully stacked Viking symbols on one or more of the 3 Hotspots every other Viking symbol that are both inside and outside of the Hotspots will change into the same triggering Viking symbol. It’s just like the usual Hotspot Feature only this one is bigger and better! Potentially you could be seeing multiple Vikings symbols for some of the games most impressive wins.
Summary
Yeah, visually this game is great, and it’s really done the drama series justice. The Raid Spins Feature is the most attractive giving you the potential to win up to a massive 10,000x your stake. And that’s on each Raid Spin not just the entire feature.
It’s medium to high variance so you’ll probably need a decent bankroll going into the game for a decent return but of-course ultimately, it’s just all down to pure luck meaning you could just hit that dream win on your first spin. The base game spins also give you the chance to win almost 608x your stake too.
The game is also great because during the Hotspot feature it pays like scatters usually pay. So, you’ll land yourself a win when you get at least 3 matching symbols and it pays right up to 27 matching symbols giving you the chance to win up to 243 x your total stake. Overall that’s a pretty impressive bunch of multipliers there.
So, form a line and get ready to raid the reels.
