Vikings Slot<\/em> is a new release from NetEnt based on the famous TV Show called Vikings. The slot features the main characters from the show including Ragnar Lothbrok and the others. The atmosphere of the slot in the graphics and music is spot on with the same theme as the show Vikings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Slot Mechanics\/Features<\/h2>\n

It starts in the normal 5 reels, 3 rows with 243 ways to win setup but this changes in the Raid free spins to 78,125 ways to win! There is also no wild symbol in the game which is unusual but increases the volatility of the slot.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the features that occurs randomly is the \u2018Shield Wall\u2019, several shields (between 6 and 10) will appear on the reels. The shields are removed and will reveal a premium character or the Vikings logo. This can happen during normal spins or the Raid Spins.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Middle Reel (white) is called the Hot Spot zone and if a full premium symbol covers it then it becomes active. This will active and cause all other character symbols to change to the character that landed in the hot spot. \u00a0It will then award a scatter pay of that symbol as a win.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main feature of the game is the Raid Free Spins which activate when 3 Raid spins symbols land on reels 3,4 and 5. The grid changes into a 7 reel, 5 rows with 78,125 ways to win and the middle changes into a 3 by 3 hot spot zone. <\/span><\/p>\n

Seven spins are awarded and just like in the base game if a stack covers one of the new hot spot zones it activates like the hot spot feature in the same way as the base game and gives scattered pays on that symbol.<\/span><\/p>\n

What to look for<\/h2>\n

This is an interesting change of design for NetEnt into something with a little more volatility than their usual slot choice. At first everything looks familiar in set up and layout, you could even mistake the base game as nothing new. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, this all changes in the Raid spins, as the volatility changes from low – mid to mid \u2013 high. As you play the base game you can get some nice wins as the top symbol is too hard to hit. <\/span><\/p>\n

The random feature of shield wall is frequent but misses quite a bit and even then, does not pay much however this too changes a lot in the free spins as you can get nice hits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be warned the free spins can only be triggered on a 3,4,5 scatter which makes it not particularly easy to trigger. This game basically revolves around the bonus as do higher volatile slots.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, don\u2019t take your first impression of this game from its base game as it won impress you much and wait till you have tried the raid spins a few times. You will soon realize this holds the potential of this slot which is a good design.<\/span><\/p>\n
