Vikings Go Wild is a 5 reel, 25 payline slot brought to you by developers Yggdrasill. The game is focused on a crew of Vikings and their war against monsters of the sea. The symbols are very fitting, with the high-value ones comprised of different crew members, including a long-haired Viking, a bald one, an old man and a female Viking. The low-value symbols are shown as ancient coins coloured gold, silver, bronze and green. There are two special symbols in the game; a free spins symbol shown as a ship and a wild which will substitute for all symbols apart from the free spins icon. There are two bonus features to speak of in this game, a free spins mode and the Treasure Chest bonus.
This being a Viking based slot, what better developer could you have than Yggdrasil. The Nordic developer doesn’t just come from the same neck of the woods, they have a history developing slots of this genre. Even their name is Viking inspired, with Yggdrasil being the ‘tree of life’ in mythology. Let's delve deeper into this fierce adventure now.
Layout and Paytable
The opening cinematic is superb, with an exhilarating battle between the Vikings and a Kraken like monster. It opens to a stormy sea, with the colourful cast doing their best not to be thrown overboard. After that, huge tentacle bursts from the waves, and the leader of the Vikings jumps metres in the air, axe held aloft, ready to fight him. It’s a truly spectacular introduction and indicative of the overall graphical quality. The reels themselves are proof of this, with each symbol rendered in a 3D style. The backdrop is equally impressive as well but in an almost understated way. It’s simply part of the ship and the sea behind it, but the waves and current ripple in such a manner that mimics the actual seas. This is a seriously visually impressive slot.
What about the payouts? There is quite a lot of value to be found here for the fortunate. The highest paying symbol in the game is the long-haired Viking who will grant a 250x line bet multiplier if you land a five of a kind win. After that comes the bald man, who will award 225x for the same requirements, followed by the old Viking who will payout 200x. The last of the high value symbols is the female Viking, who will award a multiplier of 175x for a five of a kind win. The most valuable of the low value symbols is the gold coin and will pay a sum equivalent to 80x your line bet. The silver, bronze and green coins are worth 70x, 60x and 50x respectively.
Bonus Features
Free Spins Mode
In order to trigger this bonus, you will have to land the Free Spins symbol at least three times anywhere on the reels. The amount of spins you will receive depends on the number of symbols you land, with three granting eight, four for sixteen and five for twenty-four. The wild and high value Viking symbols will also take on new effects in this mode. If you land a Viking symbol on the reels during the round, there is a chance it will turn into a sticky wild. Any wilds you land will also turn sticky, and any that were involved in the triggering spin will stick in place too.
Treasure Chest
This feature can be triggered either in the base game or the free spins round and will activate if one lands on the first and last reels. If it is triggered in the base game, it can potentially award between 8-12 free spins and up to 1000 coins. However, if it lands in the Free Spins round, then it can grant 2-4 Free Spins, up to 1000 coins and one of the reels may turn completely wild.
Vikings go Wild with Kerching
Malcolm Says...
Yggdrasil Gaming always makes engaging, intuitive slots but, from a graphical standpoint, Vikings Go Wild is on another level. The opening cinematic is the perfect introduction and sets a marker for the rest of the game. The design is clean too, and it's quite a feat to pack so much in without cluttering the screen. The features are quite good as well, with the Treasure chest in particular boasting some big potential rewards. Of course, we always love a Free Spin round, and it's a welcome addition here.
