How Beowulf works

In the world of online casino, it is very common to find slot machines that choose the themes of the greatest mythologies of history. Whether Roman, Greek or Scandinavian, all the greatest mythological heroes have been adapted into slot machines. And this is once again the case with this creation of the famous provider Pragmatic Play, which this time focuses on the poem about the exploits of the hero Beowulf, to whom he gave his name.

Released at the end of September 2016, the Beowulf slot takes you through this Viking legend, while giving you the opportunity to win great amounts of money! In addition, the slot offers you very good graphics, accompanied by very successful sound effects and music that fits perfectly into the universe addressed by the slot. The starting grid is very classic, with five columns, each containing four symbols. A feature is present in the base game, while it will be possible to win free spins on Beowulf.

The feature in the basic game goes like this: when four Beowulf symbols appear on the first reel, then it will trigger the Super Raise mode. When this happens, the regular reels give way to special reels containing only empty spaces and Beowulf symbols. You start the feature with three respins. All the Beowulf symbols that you land will stay in place and you will get an extra respin. Once the feature is complete, all your winnings are paid out. Note that if you manage to fill the grid completely, then you win the maximum slot jackpot.

Beowulf is a slot machine with a volatility that is considered high, while its payout ratio (RTP) is 96.66%, which places it slightly above the average of slots on the market. As for the maximum payout, it is 2,500 times your original bet, which is a very nice jackpot to try and win.

The different symbols of Beowulf

Pragmatic Play's Beowulf is a slot machine that has a good number of symbols, which can be separated into two categories: common symbols and premium symbols. There is also a wild symbol, which can substitute for any symbol except the bonus symbol. It can be very useful for making connections, especially when you are only one symbol short of a full line!

First of all there are the common symbols, of which there are four. These symbols are so called because they appear much more often, but because of this, they have a low payoff. They are represented by the symbols of a deck of cards:

• The blue diamond, which can pay up to 1.25 times your original bet

• The yellow clover, which can pay you up to 1.88 times your original bet

• The Red Heart, which can pay you up to 2.5 times your original bet

• The Green Spade, which can pay you up to 5 times your original bet

Below are the potential payouts for each common symbol in relation to a 2 Euro bet.

Then there are the premium symbols, of which there are six. These symbols are considered premium, because unlike the common symbols, they are much more lucrative but they appear much less often. They are represented by different objects and characters that belong to the Beowulf legend:

• The ring, which can earn you up to 7.5 times your original stake

• The horn, which can bring you up to 10 times your initial stake

• The Drakkar, which can pay you up to 12.5 times your original bet

• The mage, which can bring you up to 20 times your initial stake

• The Witch, which can pay you up to 37.5 times your original bet

• The Beowulf, which can pay you up to 62.5 times your original bet

As with the common symbols, below are the potential payouts for each premium symbol in relation to a two Euro bet.

Finally, there is also a Scatter symbol, represented by a shield. First of all, it can allow you to unlock free spins, between 10 and 20 depending on the number on the grid, but above all it can also bring you up to 25 times your initial bet!

The connections in Beowulf

Pragmatic Play Beowulf slot has a classic starting grid, but the connection system, which at first glance seems quite classic, has a little subtlety. In addition to the 40 fixed paylines that you can see in the screen below, it is interesting to know that the connections for the highest paying symbol, the Beowulf, work from left to right and also from right to left!

For a connection to occur, and thus to realize winnings, the same symbol must appear at least once on the first three columns of your starting grid as well as on a connection line. The further your symbol appears on the grid, the bigger your win. Note that with the exception of the Beowulf symbol, the connections on this slot machine only work from left to right.

How the bonus works in Beowulf

As mentioned earlier in the introduction to this Beowulf slot review, you will be able to unlock free spins! To unlock this bonus feature, you will need to land a minimum of three Scatter symbols on your game grid, which will automatically award you ten free spins. But this number can increase if you land more Scatter symbols. This means that you will get 15 free spins for 4 Scatter symbols, and even 20 free spins if you land 5!

During the bonus feature, the game is played exactly as in the basic game. Note that the Super Reroll mode is also present during the bonus game and that you will also be able to retrigger without any limit!

In Beowulf slot, you will not be able to purchase the bonus feature. So you'll have to be patient and hope that luck is on your side!
