Free slot: Volatile Vikings

Functioning of Volatile Vikings

The frozen lands of the Scandinavian countries await you. Embark on an incredible adventure in search of the totems, the Vikings will be your best asset to win the jackpot!

Volatile Vikings comes to us straight from the online game provider Relax Gaming. Very recent, you can find it on the vast majority of online casinos since September 21, 2021. This slot machine offers a payout ratio (RTP) slightly above the average of slots with 96.44%. You can enjoy a very high volatility, but above all an impressive maximum winning potential with the possibility of winning up to 20,000 times your starting bet! The starting grid is in a 5x6 format with 5 reels of 6 rows. The reels reveal different symbols and can cascade connections.

In addition to a free spins bonus, you can enjoy a rather original feature in Volatile Vikings. Indeed, each spin starts with a Multiplier Reveal symbol on reel 2 and a second one on reel 4. Each of these symbols displays a multiplier and a countdown.

Each stunt subtracts 1 from this countdown and when it reaches 0, the multiplier is activated for the turn while the Multiplier Reveal symbol explodes destroying up to 8 symbols around it on the grid. At the end of each round, the multipliers are added up and the result multiplies the total win. The Multiplier Reveal can display between x2 and x100.

The Different Symbols in Volatile Vikings

You will find 9 different pay symbols in Volatile Vikings in addition to the Multiplier Reveal and Scatter. They can be separated into two distinct categories according to their rarity:

• The rarest symbols are called premium, they have a higher value which allows you to reap bigger wins. They are represented by a bull demon totem and gold, green, purple and blue Viking totems

• The common symbols are much less rare than the previously named ones. They have a low value and their connections pay less. They are represented by red, yellow, purple and blue Viking symbols

In the following graphics you can see the potential payouts for most of the symbols in Volatile Vikings according to their number and for a starting bet of 1 Euro.

The different connections in Volatile Vikings

Many connections are possible in Volatile Vikings. Indeed, there are no predefined paylines in this slot. Forget the Megaways system or cluster connections, on this slot, connections are validated when a minimum number of a symbol appears on the grid. This means that you need to get at least 8 times the same symbol anywhere on the grid for a connection to be validated. Paying symbols are then removed from the grid to let the symbols above them fall and replace them. New symbols can then fall onto the grid and multiple connections can potentially occur in a single game round. Multiple connections can occur at the same time if 2 different symbols are present at least 8 times each on the grid. There are no Wild symbols in Volatile Vikings, but the Multiplier Reveal symbols can remove symbols from the grid to trigger new stunts.

Volatile Vikings Bonus Feature

During the pay spins, Scatter symbols represented by chained chests may appear on the grid. If you manage to get at least 3 of them on a single spin in the base game, you trigger the Volatile Vikings free spins bonus. Each additional Scatter grants you a free spin in addition to the 6 free spins granted by the 3 bonus symbols. The chests open by destroying their chains and the snow melts around them in the heat of the flames as the universe becomes more and more hostile. The bonus is very similar to the base game but with even higher volatility and real jackpot potential. This is because the Multiplier Reveal win multiplier becomes progressive. This means that the multipliers are not reset at the end of a free spin.

By revealing the multiplier symbols, you can build up a total win multiplier until you hit the jackpot on every payline! Each Scatter symbol that appears on the grid grants you an additional free spin with no maximum free spins. If you don't want to wait in the base game, it is possible to purchase the free spins bonus on Volatile Vikings. This purchase feature will cost you 100 times your starting bet and triggers a spin where at least 3 Scatters are present.
