Asgardian Stones is a five-reel, 20-payline slot brought to you by the team at NetEnt. It is a Viking-themed slot machine and features a display inspired by Nordic myths. The clearest examples of this can be seen in the high-paying symbols, which are all represented by carvings of gods, coloured orange, green, dark blue, purple, and light blue. The low-value symbols are shown in the standard playing card format A, K, and Q. There are several bonus symbols, all of which play into features. These symbols can provide a variety of perks, such as free spins, giant symbols, and coin prizes.
Vikings; feared warriors, adventuring nomads, and frequently the main characters of slot games. Why developers have such a fascination with these Nordic heroes is anyone’s guess, but this trend has given us some cracking titles. NetEnt is the latest developer to get in on the action with the Asgardian Stones slots, a feature-filled offering with a stellar user interface. We’ll have a look at the features in closer depth momentarily, but first, let’s take a gander at the wonderful graphics on display.
Visuals and Interface
We like it when a reel set tries something different and Asgardian Stones gets top marks for originality. Watching the stone-styled symbols fall into place is very aesthetically pleasing, with successful combinations grouping together before exploding spectacularly. This ties into the Avalanche Bonus nicely and all the other features have similar graphical feats attached to them. For instance, any applied multipliers will be shown on a rock to the left of the reels. When a pay-out is made, lightning will charge the rock before bolts of electricity light up the reels and your final winnings are shown. It’s aspects like this that add up to create a truly breath-taking display.
Bonus Features
Avalanche Reel Set
Instead of spinning the reels to land symbols, they will fall into place. This is also part of the Avalanche Reels bonus that will give you a chance to form more winning combinations immediately after landing one. It does this by blasting any icons involved in the original win from play, before randomly generating new ones drop in from above.
Colossal Symbols
A nice addition in this slot is the ability to land super-sized versions of the normal icons, both in the base game and the bonus rounds. They can stand at 2x2 or 3x3 positions tall, but may land partially stacked, so you won’t see the full symbol on the reel. You cannot land more than two of these on any single spin.
Colossal Crush
This is another symbol that, like the one above, can fill multiple positions, but can also randomly crush the symbols below. For each row that is crushed, a multiplier will go up from 2x to 4x and so on. As the symbols will be replaced by randomly generated new ones, this could lead to multiple new wins.
Bonus Wheel
Like the previous two, this is a symbol that can occupy multiple reel positions and only falls on the final three. However, this is a very different kind of icon and is quite innovative mechanically. It is a wheel minigame that is rendered right there on the board. It can land fully or partially stacked, with the latter case meaning only some of the potential prizes are winnable. There are eight possibilities, three of which will offer free spins, with the rest comprised of coin prizes. A zone will appear on the reels and whichever wheel bonuses are in it will be applied, which means you can get multiple perks from this feature. The wild will appear as a Colossal Symbol in the free spins, and the Bonus Wheel can re-trigger to award up to 25 extra spins.
