Vikings bonus features

The Vikings slot game is set against a backdrop of snow-covered fields, with crows and weapons to be seen. Symbols include the standard A, K, Q, J and 10, but it’s the other symbols we are excited about.

Ragnar, Lagertha, Bjorn and Floki all appear as symbols and the ‘V’ logo does too – the latter is the most rewarding one, paying out x7 the initial bet when seven appear.

Players will note the variable number of ways to win, with the base game offering 243. Thanks to one very special feature, the game screen expands and so to does the number of ways to win.

Wilds

Somewhat unusually, there are no Wilds symbols to speak of in Vikings. Still, we think there’s plenty going on to make up for this, as we will discuss next.

Hotspot feature

This feature is triggered when a fully stacked Viking symbol – featuring Ragnar, Floki, Bjorn or Lagertha – appear in a Hotspot, located on reel 3. When this happens, any other Viking symbols will transform into the same symbol that landed stacked on reel 3, potentially filling the screen with the same Viking symbol and boosting wins.

This feature also pays Scatter style, ensuring larger wins. Even just three symbols can be rewarding thanks to this function.

Shield Wall feature

The Shield Wall feature is available on both the base game and the Raid Spins feature. It appears as a group of mystery symbols at random on the reels. These symbols will then all transform into the same symbol, increasing the chances of landing a win.

Vikings Free Spins

In Vikings, the free spins are called Raid Spins. These are triggered with 3 Raid Spins symbols appear on the reels. The game screen is then transformed, taking on a 7×5 reel structure and raising the ways to win to an astonishing 78,125.

Each time this feature is triggered, the player is rewarded with 7 raid spins, with Hotspots located on reels 3, 4 and 5. Landing a stacked Viking symbol in one or more of these Hotspots will convert any remaining Viking symbols into the same one. This can result in a whole lotta Vikings symbols, which means an even better chance to win during Raid Spins.

Vikings jackpot

There is no progressive jackpot in Vikings. However, having over 70,000 ways to win during the Raid Spins feature can be seriously lucrative when the max limit per betway is 500 coins a pop.

RTP

This game has an RTP of 96.05%. Coupled with a medium-high variance, that means plenty of regular wins that prolong gameplay with significant coin boosts.

Vikings on Mobile
