Free slot: Vikings Video

How Vikings Video works

Vikings Video is a slot machine published by the provider NetEnt since November 2018. It is based on the series of the same name, Vikings, broadcast since 2013. The player is embarked with the brave Ragnar Lothbrok and his friends on a quest to conquer the lands of the West.

From the introductory animation, the dramatic soundtrack and the horror set contribute to the mysterious and warlike atmosphere of the game. The introductory mini-film unveils a lake in the background with a drakkar in the distance, before the game interface appears. The grid is surrounded by a black raven and a shield on the right, and a banner and the logo of the TV series on the left.

There is a classic reel operation with 5 reels of 3 rows (which can be expanded to 7 rees of 5 rows) and 243 to 78 125 ways to win. The reels are triggered and show different symbols.

The payout rate to Vikings Video players exceeds 96% and it can be described as a fairly volatile machine with a payout of up to 10 000 times its bet.

The different symbols of Vikings Video

12 different symbols can appear on the grid. Among them, we find the logo of the TV series as well as some characters:

• the bloody V logo from the TV series Vikings, the most lucrative symbol (pays x70 for 7 identical symbols)

• King Ragnar Lothbrock, Queen Lagertha, their son Bjorn and the navigator Floki (pay x28 for 7 identical symbols)

• the classic symbols A, K, Q, J, 10 bloody (pay x20 for 7 identical symbols)

• the Raid Spins symbol to activate the bonus feature

• the shield as WILD

The different connections in Vikings Video

There are many ways to earn in Vikings Video. In fact, whether in the basic game or in the bonus feature, there are between 243 and 78 125 ways to win. To win a prize, all you need is a minimum of 3 identical symbols appearing anywhere on the grid, adjacent to each other from left to right, as explained in the image below.

Another special feature is that roller number 3 is surrounded by a luminous halo called Hotspot. When a Viking symbol appears from head to toe on the three rows of this third reel, all the Viking characters symbols present on the grid are transformed into the effigy of the Viking represented in the Hotspot. The Scatter Pays feature is then activated and a new calculation of the winnings is performed (scale in the images below).

In addition, the Shield Wall feature can be triggered at any time, either in the basic game or during the bonus feature. A set of shields can be placed anywhere on the grid and transform the symbols they hide into a cluster of identical symbols for guaranteed new wins.

How the Vikings Video Bonus works

When three Raid Spins symbols appear anywhere on reels 3, 4 and 5, the Raid Spins bonus is activated. The grid then stretches with 7 reels of 5 rows and 125 paylines. 7 free spins Raid Spins are offered, with 3 Hotspots on reels 3, 4 and 5.

As in the basic game, when a Viking symbol appears from head to toe on at least one of the Hotspots, all the Viking characters symbols on the grid are transformed into the Viking represented in the Hotspot. The Scatter Pays feature is then activated and a new calculation of the winnings is performed as seen previously. Finally, the Shield Wall feature can also be triggered during the Raid Spins bonus.
