Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded Slot Review
Two carved dragon figureheads snarl inward over the reels from a gateway of blue ice, snow drifted deep around a propped sword and shield. That’s the world of Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded, and Yggdrasil has done something braver with this remake than polish it: the old crew is back exactly as they were, with everything they’re worth re-priced. The ceiling here is 25,000x, more than five times anything the series has offered before.
The numbers make the case on their own. A 96% RTP pairs with Super High volatility and a 23.98% hit frequency, so fewer than one spin in four returns anything. The reward for that patience is a 25,000x ceiling on a 5×4 grid with 25 paylines, well beyond what Vikings Go To Olympus offered. Bets run from 0.25 to 50 per spin, and Vikings Go to Egypt Wild Fight covered similar ground in 2024 with less than a fifth of the win potential.
Base Game & Features
The grid is a familiar shape: five reels, four rows and 25 paylines running left to right. Four Viking characters and four coin symbols make up the paytable, and any three or more matching symbols from the leftmost reel on the same line pays out. Only the highest combination per line counts, and total win is the sum of all line wins.
The wild substitutes for all the regular symbols in both the base game and free spins, and it can land carrying a x2, x4 or x8 multiplier that applies to the lines it helps complete. It doesn’t substitute for the Free Spins symbol.
Paytable
Wins below are shown at the default 2.50 stake, at three, four and five of a kind.
- Viking (red): 25 / 10 / 3
- Viking (blue): 20 / 10 / 3
- Viking (green): 17.50 / 7.50 / 2.50
- Viking (blonde): 15 / 7.50 / 2
- Coin (gold): 5.50 / 3.50 / 0.50
- Coin (silver): 5 / 3 / 0.50
- Coin (bronze): 4 / 2.50 / 0.50
- Coin (copper): 3.50 / 2 / 0.50
Ragnarok Spin
Ragnarok Spin is the new idea in the remake, and it can fire at random in the base game or during free spins. When it hits, every high-paying symbol that lands on that spin turns into a wild, and every Viking on the reels enters berzerk mode for it.
In the base game those wilds last for the triggering spin only. A screen of Vikings converting at once is still where the biggest base game moments come from on a game that pays out less than a quarter of the time.
Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded Free Spins & Bonus Features
Free Spins
Landing three or more Free Spins symbols anywhere in the base game triggers the round, always for seven free spins. The round plays at the same lines and bet size as the spin that set it off, and the number of scatters determines how many Vikings start in berzerk mode:
- 3 Free Spins symbols: 7 free spins
- 4 Free Spins symbols: 7 free spins and 1 Berzerk Viking
- 5 Free Spins symbols: 7 free spins and 2 Berzerk Vikings
Viking Fights & Berzerk Mode
During free spins, every Viking that lands fights a Siren. Win the fight and the Viking becomes a sticky wild for the rest of the session, so a good round slowly fills the grid with frozen warriors. A random symbol chosen as berzerk at the trigger is turned into a wild for the entire session as well.
Any Viking in berzerk mode wins every fight it takes, which is why starting with two of them matters. There are three ways to get there: the free spins trigger itself, a treasure chest, or a Ragnarok Spin.
Sticky wilds can also pick up multipliers, from the spin after they land. A fireball launches from a dragon’s mouth, strikes the symbol and doubles its multiplier, stepping x1 to x2, x2 to x4 and x4 to x8. In free spins every wild can be upgraded this way, and each upgrade holds until the session ends.
Treasure Chest
A treasure chest can land on the fifth reel, but only during free spins. It awards one of the following:
- +1, +2 or +3 free spins
- An extra Berzerk Viking plus one free spin
- Wild multipliers doubled for one spin, capped at x8
Free Spins Gamble
Every free spins session can be gambled before it starts. There are five levels of free spins in total, and levels three and four are reachable only through this gamble, offering seven spins with three or four Berzerk Vikings respectively. Each successful pick of a hidden reward climbs one level.
It’s a straight 50/50. Pick wrong and the free spins are lost altogether, which makes gambling a triggered round a genuinely risky call rather than a free upgrade. The gamble stays available until level four is reached or the session is lost.
Bonus Buy
There’s a Buy Bonus option in the game panel for players who’d rather skip straight to the feature than wait on the scatters. It sits alongside the usual controls: autoplay with stop conditions, a max bet toggle on desktop, and a spin button that turns into a stop button while the reels are moving.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.8/10
Playing this is mostly waiting in a cold cavern for the ice to break. Then a round starts, Vikings win their fights, the grid starts filling with sticky wilds, and seven spins can turn into the best ten minutes the series has ever produced. That build, not the individual wins, is why anyone chooses it.
Its strength is that every system in the game pushes in the same direction: berzerk conversions, chests and Ragnarok Spins all exist to stack wilds, so the free spins round snowballs in a way most slots’ bonus rounds flatly don’t. Its weakness is the cost of admission. With fewer than one spin in four paying anything, the stretches between features are long, and nothing in the base game makes them shorter.
This is for players who like a slow build and can sit through the silence it demands, and for fans of the series, who get the familiar crew back with a far bigger prize at the end of the fjord. If steady small wins are what keep you spinning, this isn’t your longhouse.
