Vikings Slot Game

Vikings (NetEnt): Introduction

It was during the iGaming conference earlier this year that NetEnt presented not only one but two massive blockbuster titles - Narcos and Vikings. At the time when the information was first made public, the launch of Yggdrasil's third Vikings slot was fast approaching, and so we couldn't help but wonder if NetEnt would fall into the trap of ripping off Yggdrasil. Turns out these are entirely different games as you will see. For those not familiar with the Vikings tv-series, it's a historical tv-series drama created for the History channel and HBO. It follows Ragnar Lothbrok, a legendary Viking ruler, and his crew on their exploits as laid down in old sagas such as Ragnars saga Loðbrókar from the 13th century. Those of you who are fans of the series will be happy to see the actors known from the series represented on the reels.

The grand visual production came not as a surprise although we must say that we still managed to get caught off guard by the awesome intro that definitely helped set the mood right from the start and boost our expectations. Clicking our way into the game itself, we were pleasantly surprised to see the win-all-ways setup, which must be considered exotic when it comes to NetEnt and something that worked very well for them in Jungle Spirit which was released in 2017.

If you're familiar with the series, you will feel right at home upon entering the game. If not, you're still likely to appreciate the work that NetEnt has put into the visual production with the reels set against a wintry, gloomy, Norse landscape made out of imposing hills that slope towards an icy lake. Don't be bothered by the lone raven watching your every move!

As already mentioned, Vikings is a slot without pay lines. The 243 ways setup ensure that you win if 3 or more identical symbols land anywhere on subsequent reels. In the main game, Vikings is played on a 5x3 reel set but is switched to a 7x5 setup during the free spins feature, expanding the win ways to an astonishing 78,125 ways.

Furthermore, the game comes with several different features which we will look into further below. Playable on all devices, players can bet between €0.20 to €200 per spin. The relatively high max bet is actually a tell-tale sign that it's not a super high potential slot. The 96.05% return to player is nothing out of the ordinary and more or less within the expected range.
