Review
Embark on an epic journey to the Norse land on the slot from Electric Elephant powered by Relax Gaming. The gameplay on Völsunga is following the three protectors of the Nordic forest as they transform into their animal forms in the free spins round to award mixed pays and that both ways. Blue and red moons in the horizontal reel will open up the reel set to the maximum that can lead to wins of up to 4,687.5x your bet on a single spin.
Slot Details
Völsunga is a video slot with five reels in a 5-3-1-3-5 default format with 225 ways to win. It can increase up to a 5-5-5-5-5 size with 3,125 ways to win. Pays are awarded for adjacent symbols from left to right in the default mode and both ways when the blue moon lands in view on the horizontal reel as well as in the free spins.
You reel journey to the Nordic forest on desktop or mobile will cost you from 0.20 to 300 credits per spin. The game has medium to high volatility with an RTP of 97.16%.
A harrowing forest scene with illuminated stone murals is the backdrop to an intricate game window. The three protectors feature prominently on the reels while a heroic soundtrack provides that extra suspense element. A horizontal reel on top of the game window will spin in each round a blank or either a white, a blue or a red moon into view.
The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from 9 to A, paying 0.5x your stake for a five of a kind. On the medium level are fantasy mushrooms and blue flowers. Hit five across the reels to win 1x to 1.15x your bet. The premium symbols are the three protectors – the eagle warrior, the bear warrior and the female wolf warrior. A single five of a kind will award 1.25x to 1.5x your stake. There are no wilds on the reels, however, an intricate icon with a snowy mountain range acts as the scatter.
Völsunga Slot Features
The game window is as default in a 5-3-1-3-5 matrix which can be opened up in the base game through the Reel Unlock feature when either the white, blue or the red moon lands in the horizontal reel. The latter two will also trigger an extra modifier that can help create bigger wins.
- Blank: No expansion and no modifiers
- White Symbol: Expands the game window to a 5-3-3-3-5 format with 675 ways but will not award modifiers
- Blue Moon: Expands the game window to a 5-5-3-5-5 format with 1,875 ways and awards wins both ways
- Red Moon:Â Expands the game window to a 5-5-5-5-5 format with 3,125 ways and awards mixed pays. The three warriors will turn into their animal alter ego, forming mixed winning combos as long as they are on adjacent symbols. The pay for the top symbols is applied to mixed combos. The symbols will be reset to the default on the following spin.
Any expanded reel format will stay active or expand further when moon symbols land in the horizontal reel on the following spin. In any other case, the reels set will go back to the default format.
Things will heat up in the Free Spins round, which will be triggered when minimum three scatters land in view on a spin. An initial 6 free spins are awarded, which can be indefinitely retriggered. During the feature, the game window is always expanded to the maximum size with 3,125 ways to win and pays are awarded both ways. The red moon landing on the horizontal reel will trigger the mixed pays.
Final Verdict
Electric Elephant is a little known studio based in London, UK, that was previously named Seven Deuce Gaming. While staying off the radar since their founding in 2015, recent partnerships with Microgaming, Leander and Relax has seen them supplying slot games to the respective platforms. Space Spins was the debut on Microgaming’s Quickfire platform while Völsunga is their first creation for Relax Gaming and is in our opinion the best what we have seen so far from the young studio. Decent graphics and some novelties in the gameplay coupled with big win potential should draw punters in for a spin.
