Vikings have something of a fearsome reputation, what with all that pillaging and so on. Archeologists tell us that ancient Scandinavian peoples were a lot more into farming and peaceful diplomacy than the legends lead us to believe. Still, a slot about agricultural practices doesn’t sound all that appealing. The first of a trio of Vikings slots, Vikings Go Wild was released in 2015. This Yggdrasil video slot is all about the adventuring warrior image of Vikings, which is arguably a lot more interesting than the reality.

Vikings Go Wild bonus features
This 3D slot features four Viking characters, who each appear as symbols. Three male and one female Viking make up the high value symbols. Landing 5 symbols showing the Viking on a blue background on a payline will reward with x250 the stake. The female Viking character rewards with x175 for five symbols on a payline. Yggdrasil clearly needs to do a little reading on equal pay.
The other symbols include coins in a range of colours, with gold rewarding the most (x80) and green rewarding the least with x50. The Scatter symbol is represented by a Viking ship. With the symbols covered, let’s now look at the features in Vikings Go Wild and how they can boost gameplay.
Wilds
The Wild symbol, conveniently, has the word ‘Wild’ written on it in gold. It can substitute for any of the other symbols except the Free Spins Scatter symbol. During the Free Spins rounds, Wild symbols are sticky but more on those later.
Vikings Go Wild Treasure Chest bonus
It’s not a Viking slot without some plunder! In Vikings Go Wild, treasure chest symbols mean good news. They can appear on the fifth reel, in both the base game and free spins rounds.
During the base game, treasure chests can contain coin wins up to 1,000 coins or between 8 and 12 free spins.
During the free spins rounds, chests can contain up to 1,000 coin, between two and four free spins, or the Wild Reel feature, which turns the whole reel Wild for the remainder of the spins.
Vikings Go Wild Free Spins
Three or more Free Spin Scatter symbols will trigger the free spins feature. Land 3 to win 8 free spins, 4 to claim 16 spins and 5 to receive 24 free spins. During this feature, any Viking character symbols that appear will try to defeat a fearsome sea creature. Should the Viking succeed, that symbol will become a Sticky Wild.
Sticky Wilds remain in their positions until the end of the free spins rounds, which will improve chances of landing winning combinations. What’s more, any Wilds symbols that were present on the reels during the spin that triggered the Free Spins feature remain sticky during the free spins.
This Yggdrasil slot has a Return to Player value of 96.3%. It is also highly volatile, which means that large wins are possible. The free spins feature certainly contributes to this high win potential.
Vikings Go Wild on Mobile
Take these marauding masters of mayhem wherever you go! Yggdrasil’s Vikings Go Wild is fully mobile compatible and will look awesome on screens great and small.
