Vikings Unleashed Megaways slot game is based on Norse mythology- a common theme choice in the world of slots that feature these fearsome, horned warriors in their games.
Interestingly, this isn’t a wholly original creation; it is a remake running on the Megaways engine, which adds a wealth of new gameplay features and bonuses, on top of the cracking ones that were already there. It’s got a great user interface too.

How To Play
Vikings Unleashed Megaways is a six-reel slot with a potential 117,649 paylines, developed by Blueprint Gaming.
The high-value symbols, which are represented by four Viking characters; a male warrior, a female warrior, a magician, and one with a ginger beard. The lower-value icons are the standard playing cards A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9.
There is a wild, which will substitute for all other symbols apart from the bonus ones, which includes the scatter used to trigger the game’s free spins round. There is also a mystery symbol that can turn into identical icons to provide a win.
The game’s RTP is 96.5% and is a high variance slot, which means the bulk of your winnings will probably come from frequent small wins, rather than large sum totals.
To adjust your bet, use the arrow icons on the left-hand side of the screen, with a minimum value of 20p a spin rising to £10 per spin. The maximum win in this game is equivalent to 50,000x your stake, which can be won in both the base game and free spin round.
Bonus Features
Megaways
For those that haven’t played a game running on the Megaways engine, this system completely changes the way paylines will work in the slot. On each spin, you will be treated to a different number of ways to win, and this is accomplished by adding varying amounts of symbols to the board. The maximum is a massive 117, 649 possible winning combinations, so this can give you a better chance at landing a win.
Cascading Reels
This comes as part of the Megaways package. Essentially, this mechanic will allow you to land a consecutive win immediately after forming a successful combination. It happens by blowing away the icons involved and then replacing them with new ones, which can then make up new combinations.
Mystery Symbol
This is shown as Thor’s Hammer and can drop randomly at any point, both in the base game and the free spins mode. When you land multiple in a single spin, they will all reveal one identical icon, before calculating a new payout. While this doesn’t include any of the bonus symbols, you can get the highest-paying symbol in this feature so that it can be rather rewarding.
Feature Buy
This is an optional setting you can put in place by wagering more in exchange for free spins. For 25x, 50x, 75x, and 100x your bet, you’ll receive five, eight, ten, or twelve free spins, with a progressive multiplier that starts at 1x. You also have the option to gamble for more spins or better multipliers initially, which adds another dimension to the feature.
Free Spins
To trigger this bonus, you’ll have to land the scatter symbol at least four times on the reels, for which you will be granted twelve free spins with a 1x multiplier initially. If you land an additional scatter during the round, you will receive an extra five spins. The Gamble feature can also be activated in this feature.
Visuals and Paytable
While it doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel, Vikings Unleashed Megaways has a clean, crisp interface that is certainly easy on the eyes.
The reels are set against the backdrop of a Viking warship, with a ferocious sea battering against the sides. It’s a nice graphical touch seeing the animated waves flow while you spin the reels.
There isn’t too much going on outside of this; the standard win animations and effects are there, and features function correctly (we haven’t run into any visual glitches yet). On top of that, the symbol illustrations are rendered in fantastic detail and help to translate the theme fully.
