Review
Embark on a mysterious Nordic adventure and watch the Vikings Go Wild on the slot from Yggdrasil Gaming. Join the fearless warriors as they sail across the raging ocean to slay the sea monster in the Free Spins feature, turning the victorious fighters into sticky wilds for wins of up to 1,900 times your bet. Plus, a treasure chest landing on reel five will offer a mystery win or a chance to trigger even more free spins.
Slot Details
Vikings Go Wild is a video slot with five reels, four rows and 25 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols on a line from left to right only. You can join the Norse warriors on desktop or mobile from 0.10 to 125 credits per spin. The game has medium volatility (38/100) with an RTP of 96.10%.
A traditional Viking longship serves as the frame to a game window with a structured background that has some resemblance with the sail of such ships and winning combinations turning into a blazing inferno. Three male and one female Vikings dominate the reels together with a range of typical coins from that era. A heroic soundtrack goes into dramatic crescendos on winning spins.
The pay symbols start at the low end with four coins in green, bronze, silver and golden colours, awarding 2x to 3.25 your stake for a single five of a kind. The premiums are four Viking warriors with purple, green, red and blue backgrounds. Hit five on a line to win 7x to 10x your stake. Since all symbols can appear fully stacked, you could be looking at a payout of up to 250x your bet on a single spin.
A gold-ornament rune emblem marked with the word itself os the wild symbol, substituting for all regular symbols. A Viking longship acts as the scatter while a treasure chest will appear on reel five only and award a random prize.
Vikings Go Wild Slot Features
The slot is part of a small series coming from the studios of Yggdrasil Gaming that has proven to be a huge success in the casino community. Admittedly, the sequels – Vikings Go Berzerk and Vikings Go To Hell – are more elaborate and have more features, however, the original is not too shabby either. A Treasure Chest feature and a Free Spins round will be your main events to look out for when spinning the reels with the Norse warriors.
At any time in the base game or free spins, a Treasure Chest symbol can land on reel five. When it does, a horizontal reel with a variety of prizes will appear and spin once to award one prize.
- Base Game
- random coin win between 2x and 40x your bet or
- a random number of free spins from 8 to 12
- Free Spins
- random coin win between 2x and 40x your bet or
- 2, 3 or 4 extra free spins or
- wild reel (one per trigger)
Hitting three, four or five longship scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger 8, 16 and 24 Free Spins respectively. During the feature, any Viking landing on a free spin will face the sea monster before the win evaluation is made and defeating it will turn the respective Vikings into sticky wild symbols. Having the entire screen full of wild symbols will pay 250x your bet for each free spin. The Treasure Chest can land on top of a sticky wild and award prizes accordingly.
Final Verdict
Vikings Go Wild is mostly an intense game but has a rather medium-volatility math model at its core. While the stacked symbols lead to repeated longer losing streaks, it will come to life in the free spins where the sticky wilds will ensure decent wins on most triggers. The maximum for a round has been pegged at 1,900 times your bet which is in line for this type of slot.
