Faces of Freya Slot

Faces of Freya Slot Overview

Play’n Go are telling a Norse tale with their New Slot, Faces of Freya Slot.

Freya is a renowned and powerful Goddess with gifted talents thanks to an Amulet that allows her to control the forces of Sorcery, Love and War.

Her great power can be gift to you or a curse thanks to her emotional nature, meaning that she can work with you one minute, and against you the next.

Will her divine authority favour you today? Or is War instead of Love in store for you?

Faces of Freya Slot is stated by Play’n Go to be a highly diverse gaming experience thanks to its different Free Spins features, and seeing a Goddess in the spotlight instead of the usual Norse suspects certainly makes for a more interesting game.

Faces of Freya Slot Theme

Faces of Freya Slot is very aesthetically pleasing. In the background you’ll notice green hills and meadows which could be Fólkvangr.

In Norse mythology, Fólkvangr is ruled by Freya. It’s a plain where half of those that die in combat end up, with the other half going to Valhalla instead.

Norse Boats can also be seen in the backdrop, as well as scenic mountains. The picture painted by Play’n Go is certainly a tranquil one, but remember that Freya can just as easily turn to war as she can to peace.

Betting and Symbols

Betting options in Faces of Freya Slot are pretty standard by Play’n Go standards, and it’s extensive enough that it should cover the needs of every player.

The lowest option here is £/€0.20, and the highest option is £/€100. With a fair number of options in between, then you can rest assured knowing that there is an ideal setting for you.

For the Symbols, Freya is the highest paying symbol, who also doubles up as a Wild. Other high paying symbols include a bracelet, Big Cats, Boar and Axe and Shield.

Low paying symbols are represented by various different rune stones.

The Base Game

Faces of Freya Slot is a 5-reel slot with 20 fixed pay lines. Matching 3 or more symbols from left to right, starting from the left-most reel will form a win.

Decent enough wins are available if you manage to match good symbols all the way across a pay line, but most of what the Goddess has to offer lies within Free Spins, of which there are 4 modes.

Free Spins

3 Scatters anywhere in view will randomly trigger one of three features. These are Spins of Sorcery, Spins of Love, or Spins of War.

6 Free Spins are awarded for each of these features, but landing Scatters on the reels during the bonus will award +1 spin.

Spins of Sorcery

Shield and Axe, Boar and Large Cat symbols can be upgraded in this mode to the next highest paying symbol. Either one, two or three different symbols will be chosen for upgrade.

This isn’t unlike any other feature seen before, but it can be great if you manage to upgrade all the way to the top, giving you a much higher chance of landing lines of top symbols.

Spins of Love

2-5 Wild symbols will be added randomly to the reels, with a maximum of one wild per reel. This can be a dependable feature if you manage to get 5 Wilds for them big hits.

Spins of War

In Spins of War, a multiplier up to 20x is applied to each win. This can be good if you can get them connections. A line of Wilds with a 20x multiplier would pay 400x which would be a great result.

Spins of Folkvang

Spins of Folkvang is the games top feature, which will include all of the standard bonus features and then merge them into one for a final big round.

To land this, you’ll need 4 or 5 Scatters rather than the standard 3. This bonus will play out all of the features below in order.

• Spins of Sorcery
• Spins of Love
• Spins of War
• Spins of Folkvang – This will combine all features together. Each of the first three levels is played out over five spins. The final level will award 2 or 4 spins if triggered by 4 or 5 Scatters

Our Verdict

Faces of Freya Slot looks to be another game from Play’n Go with immense playability, with a fun and excitement factor that will get your heart racing.

The inclusion of different levels of Free Spins, and a fourth big one makes it a really diverse game, and players will definitely appreciate the different potential that each of them bring.

Of Course, Spins of Folkvang is going to be the one you want. What could be better then playing out each of the 3 standard bonuses sequentially, with a final round that combines all 3 for a fiery feature that has the potential to pay big?

None of the features included are particularly innovative, as similar features have been seen elsewhere before, but the amalgamation of putting them all together means it can be easily forgiven.

Faces of Freya Slot has the potential to pay up to 5000x, which is a decent maximum win considering that its volatility is more on the medium side with a 6/10 rating.

If you’re looking for a captivating game with a Norse theme, then Faces of Freya Slot is definitely a viable candidate.

Faces of Freya Slot will be available to play on selected desktop and Mobile Casinos on the 25/02/2012.
