Viking Runes is a mythological themed slot released by TrueLab Games in collaboration with Yggdrasil. Features include wilds, cascading reels, transforming symbols and a top prize of x25,000 your wager.

Slot details

This high variance slot is played across a massive 9×9 layout, with wagering starting from 40p per spin up to £40 per spin.The game takes place somewhere in the snow covered rocky mountains. There is the breath-taking sight of the Aurora Borealis in the background and a hammer wielding warrior standing on the left-hand side of the grid.Symbols are various coloured rune stones and tiles encrusted with a red gem and a blue gem. The latter is worth x800 your wager for landing 42 in a cluster.

Gameplay

On the right of the grid is a meter containing 4 wilds. Each time a cascading win happens, a wild is placed on the reels in a random position and will stay on the grid until no more wins are formed.There are 3 game modifiers:On a non-winning spin, the Runic Shuffle can activate randomly and shuffle all symbols to give you a guaranteed win.After a winning cascade, the Spell of Ancestor may activate and transform all low value runes into a red gem tile.The Viking Sorcery can also trigger randomly after a winning cascade and add from 3 to 9 wilds to the grid.The free spins feature comes into play after 5 consecutive winning cascades. You will receive 6 free spins with all 4 Lightning wilds in play, and these have progressive multipliers attached.

Verdict

The design is stunning but the symbols are rather drab and outdated. However there are lots of features to keep you engaged in play. The top prize will tempt many players and the RTP of 96.2% is pretty decent as well.
