Vikings Video Slot Review

Being a fan of Vikings, it was natural I’d be drawn to this new pokie. Viking Video Slot features a Hotspot feature that triggers scatter pays. The game also has Shield Wall mystery symbols, and a Raid Spins free spins game with up to 78,125 ways to win.

The graphics are great with the dark and spooky Norse backdrop, including a beady eyed raven. The game does have a high volatility, however, and an RTP of only just over 96%. All that said, with the 248 Ways to Win mechanism, it’s great fun.

That’s why we gave it a 9.5/10 overall rating.

There are multiple features in this game. Reel 3 is the Hotspot, and if a Viking symbol covers the reel, it will turn all other Viking symbols into identical ones. This triggers scatter pays, which pays on six or more of the same character.

Next, during any spin, a Shield Wall can appear on the screen, creating a cluster of mystery symbols. These symbols will all turn into a single identical symbol, and then pays are evaluated.

Finally, if Raid Spins symbols appear on Reels 3, 4, and 5, then the Raid Spins free spins game will trigger. During the feature, you’ll get 7 Raid Spins. The board will transform into a 7-Reel, 5-Row board with a 78,125 betways playing field. Also, hotspots will be on reels 3, 4, and 5. If full stacked Vikings land on any hotspot, symbols transform as during the base game feature.
