After nine months of waiting, much speculation and incredible amounts of hype, Vikings is finally landing at online casinos this week. Most major NetEnt casinos were even able to offer players access to the game over the weekend, giving them a head start on raiding the slot for its riches. So now that it is finally here, does Vikings live up to its reputation?
What is arguably the most anticipated slot of the year certainly doesn’t disappoint with what it offers to players. The NetEnt slot is based on the History Channel’s most famous show, which is airing the second part of its fifth season in just a couple of days.
About the slot
Played over 5 reels and 243 ways to win, the new Vikings slot not only offers players plenty of ways to win, but also ample special features. For starters, the game utilises a hotspot feature. On each spin, the central reel will become a hot spot, and if a Viking lands in there, all other Viking characters will turn into the same symbol.
Bonus features
At any point in the game, a randomly triggered Shield Wall bonus can also be triggered. In this feature, shields cover a handful of symbols and act as mystery icons. They will then all transform into the same symbol.
Lastly, there is the Raid Spins bonus. This is played out over a larger 7-reel, 5-row structure, and it offers as many as 78,125 paylines. Here, the hotspot is greatly expanded to cover more reels, giving players an excellent chance to bag huge wins. As you can imagine, with the enhanced payline structure to boot, big wins are never far away.
Vikings made its debut over the weekend at most NetEnt casinos, so if you fancy a spot of pillaging and raiding, you can expect to find it online right now.
