How the Vikings Fortune: Hold and Win works

When 3 Scatter symbols appear on the reels, the free spins bonus function is triggered. 8 free spins are awarded. With the exception of the classic symbols, the other symbols can appear colossally in 2x2 or 3x3. If 3 new Scatters land on the reels during free spins, the function is triggered again.

During the basic game as well as during free spins, the Hold&Win bonus function can be activated. If at least 5 bonus symbols appear on the reels, a new interface is revealed. The gold coins as bonus symbol then remain in place while all other symbols in the grid are cleared. 3 respins are allocated with empty spaces and only new coins can be placed in one of the empty spaces. Each time a gold coin takes up an empty space, the respin counter goes back to 3.

Once the respins are completed, or when all the boxes on the screen are filled, the values present in the gold coins are added together for a high earning potential. If all 15 positions are filled, the Grand Jackpot (x1,000) displayed at the top of the screen is also won.

Our opinion about Vikings Fortune: Hold and Win

With Vikings Fortune: Hold and Win, the Playson provider combines function, design and a classic theme. This production revisits once again a well-known world of slot machines by featuring the valiant Scandinavian warriors, the Vikings. With its free spins features and bonus round offering cash winnings and possible jackpots, this slot reminds us of the creation of Booongo released at the same time, Dragon Pearls. With an RTP of 95% and a maximum win of less than 1,500 times its bet, Vikings Fortune: Hold and Win nevertheless remains a machine with disappointing potential.
