Vikingos Gold

The theme is mostly graphical here, which is a welcome respite from all those other story-based slots that rest on the Viking theme. The game itself is actually aimed, originally, to Spanish markets. The style is distinctive of this. Luckily, we can all enjoy the game and its seemingly unique mechanics in the online version. There are plenty of things to explore here for those inclined to do so, and plenty of big wins for those who are looking for them.

Theme

There’s a gigantic Viking ship with a berserker on board on its way to plunder and pillage, and clearly, you have the same chance at play on the reels. The standard symbols are mixed with themed ones, divide between the two reels. It’s on the higher-value reels that the theme actually comes to light. When it comes to audio effects there are practically none. A bit of music and sounds wouldn’t have hurt this slot.

Betting Options and Functions

There are two sets of reels here. The lower one comes with the usual fruit symbols and with only one payline. This is where you can play with money. The upper reel, which is the more valuable one and the route to special features, requires bonus points to play. The way this works in play is that once you win some cash from the lower reels you can either collect the money or change it to bonus points. The upper reels then offer bigger wins for a bigger bet.

The payouts are not that bad in the lower reels either, it’s just that there are fewer paylines. On the other hand, the bet is quite small as well. You can choose how many coins you bet per spin, with the return from one coin differing between 0.6 and 200 depending what symbol combos you land. The maximum bet is 50 coins per spin, the minimum is one.

Features

During the basic game, the nudge and hold features come into play at random. This gives you the change to re-roll individual reels, or simply nudge them from one to four positions up or down. All the other bonus games are to be found in the upper reels.

The mini-games too are accessed randomly, usually activating when you manage to get extra paylines to use with the special reels. These are a different kind of pick a prize games. In one you get to sail ships, another lets you guess between helmets, a third adds multipliers when you pick the right shield, and one even lets you play pinball.

Other special features includes increasing amount of paylines as certain symbols show up, as well as extra wins or multipliers from certain symbols.

Our Take

The game is actually similar to other MGA slots aimed for the Spanish market . If you have never tried these you certainly should. The playstyle is entirely different and the big wins are still there. You can claim up to 10 000 coins on a single bet here. Give it a go!
