4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing – Base Game
Base Game & Features
Featuring a mix of the two most popular themes, 4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing is unlike any other slot to be introduced over the years from either of these genres.
Set on a 6-reel, 4-row grid with 4,096 ways to win, this game features a number of betting options between £.€0.10 per spin and £.€20 per spin. Symbol payouts require 2-6 matching symbols to land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.
4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing has 10 High and Low-paying symbols, with the highest-paying producing wins between 0.4x and 10x your bet. Low-paying symbols fall to 4 individual Coins that pay between 0.2x and 2.5x your bet. Other noteworthy statistics include a theoretical RTP of 94%, a High Volatility rating, and a generous max win cap of 12,500x your bet.
Money Ways
During gameplay, a number of Cash Prizes attached to fish symbols can appear on any of the reels. To achieve these prizes, they will need to be part of a winning combination.
Each Cash Prize varies for each reel they appear on:

Big Game Prizes
In addition to regular Cash Prizes, 4ThePlayer has included 4 Big Game Prizes that appear on Reel 6 only. These prizes award the following:
- Big – 100x your bet
- Super – 250x your bet
- Mega – 1,000x your bet
- Ultra – 5,000x your bet
Giant Squid Bonus
On any spin, a Giant Squid may randomly appear, thus triggering the Giant Squid Bonus. In the base game, the squid will move Cash Prizes to create or improve a winning combination. During respins, the squid will move and lock Cash Prizes onto the unlocked reels.
Bonus Buy
- Fighting Respins Bonus: Triggers the Respin Bonus with a chance of Berzerk Vikings (125x your bet)
- Mega Respins Bonus: Triggers the Respin Bonus with 4 guaranteed Berzerk Vikings (500x your bet)
Fighting Respin Bonus
Landing 3 or more Bonus Scatters in the base game triggers the Fighting Respin Bonus, awarding 3 initial Respins.
During Respins, locked reels can be opened by landing additional Bonus Scatters on any locked reel positions. In addition, each time a new Cash Prize appears on an open reel, it will be held for the duration. New Cash Prize symbols will cause the Respins Meter to reset.
Special symbols are also in effect at this time, awarding the following function:
- Vikings: Appear on all open reels and fight to reveal a unique feature.
- Shark: Eats full reels of stacked Cash Prizes to combine their values, multiplying the total combined value by x2.
Viking Fights
Viking symbols are important in the Respins round due to their feature abilities. Each Viking character awards a distinct Feature as follows:
- Gunnar: Collects all Cash Prizes in view
- Yngue: Increases all Cash Prizes in view
- Knut: Generates cash prize Multipliers
- Sigrid: Creates nets to catch cash prizes
In the base game, Vikings may also collect Coins if they land on their own reels. Each Coin that is collected has the potential to trigger the Fighting Respin Bonus.
When this happens, Vikings that collect coins will go ‘Berzerk’ and win all its fights automatically. Vikings may also collect Coins during the Fighting Respin Bonus, with the potential to have all 4 go ‘Berzerk’.

Our Verdict
4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing is a bit of a mouthful, but its name hints at an amalgamation of features, with some of 4ThePlayer’s best features and a healthy dash of Yggdrasil’s too. Their partnership with both Relax Gaming and Yggrasil means that they can employ features from both sides where they feel it fit best, and this particular longboat sails in Yggdrasil waters with the inclusion of Viking Fights, seen in games like Vikings Go Bezerk.
To complement the odd yet strangely harmonious battered Vikings come features like the Giant Squid, MoneyWays, and the Shark Feature. In our opinion, these were features that made some of the more frustrating aspects of Fishing Games make sense, and the additional Cash Collector, Incrementor, Multiplier and Nets that accompany the Viking Fights really take it to another level.
4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing is absent of some of the Big, Super, Mega and Ultra Jackpot prizes seen in the calmer waters of 4 Fantastic Fish, but this slot is plenty capable enough without them with a 12,500x maximum win cap. Though statistically epic in the win department, the 94% RTP is a little depressing if you’re a die-hard statistician. Lower RTPs at UK slot sites have become the norm, unfortunately.
It’s a good sign in our eyes when there’s little to complain about besides the RTP. 4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing was a mashup we didn’t know we needed, but we’re glad we have it. It has us wondering what other quirky inventions 4ThePlayer may bring to market in the future, with plenty on both the Relax Gaming and Yggdrasil Gaming sides to potentially incorporate into their own great games.
