Though I personally prefer the more historically accurate Norsemen series, there is no denying the fact that HBO’s Vikings is one of the most popular tv-series portraying the events of the era. Vikings slot take advantage of this, licensing the show for casino players. Being that Net Entertainment is the producer here there should be no doubts when it comes to the quality. Right from the get-go, you are welcomed with scenes from the show, and this keeps on as long as you keep on spinning. Get ready to claim your share of the spoils of war!
Theme
The theme is right from the tv-show. The low-level symbols are blood-stained playing card ranks, with the remaining symbols mostly being the main characters from the show. The ravens caw and croak in the background as the drums of wars call warriors forward. Some special effects bring their own sound effects on the screen as well. The theme is what you would expect from a licensed product, and there is hardly any room of improvement left.
Betting Options and Functions
The wins are counted from adjacent symbols, running from left to right. During the normal game mode, there are five reels with three symbols each. The special features can change this, increasing the potential wins into another dimension. Betting is done by selecting the number of coins and their value per spin. This gives a total range between 0.20 and 100 full coins per spin.
The basic wins are probably the weakest point of this slot. The playing card values pay between two and twenty times the bet, depending on how many you land on the reels. The themed symbols all pay the same, between six and 28 times your bet.
Features
The shield wall can be formed during any spin, activating randomly. When it does, each shield is replaced by a mystery symbol which all turn into the same symbol. This works wonders to create massive combinations wins.
The raid spin symbol shows up on reels 3, 4, and 5, and with three in place will activate the raid spins. During the raid spins the reels expand to seven instead of the usual five, and they all have five symbols instead of the normal three. This raises the possible number of pay combinations into 78 125. When a Viking symbol covers a whole reel all Viking symbols on screen transform into a matching one. In this mode, it is possible to win up to 200 000 times the bet if all symbols are matching onscreen.
Our Take
Viking is a pretty nice licensed slot. The main attraction is the raid spins which can result in truly massive prize combinations. The style is pretty much perfect and there is really nothing to improve here when it comes to graphics or sound effects. If you are a fan of the series you will love this game. Even if you aren’t you should choose a casino to raid!
