Vikings Go Wild Review

The vikings were the fiercest warriors north of the equator in their time, and you certainly get to travel with a mean looking bunch in this game. Set out on the open seas, you follow 4 brave vikings on their way back from a successful plunder. Their treasure chests are loaded with silver and gold, and landing one of these on the reels can reward you with some very nice random payouts.

The game was released by Yggdrasil on the 1st of August 2015, and it’s the first in what has become a very successful series for this well-known developer with the norse inspired name. The reels are set on the big sail of the viking ship, and in the free spins feature you can see vikings duke it out with the sea monster and turn it into a sticky wild for your benefit.

The game looks a lot like the animation movie How to Train Your Dragon, but there is no official connection. It comes with an average RTP of 96.3%, and this means that the House edge is 3.7%. Also note that this is a medium variance game, and you can therefore expect bigger wins once in a while, but also some dry spells. The potential is not bad, but we’ve seen even better from this developer.

What symbols are there?

You’ll find 4 higher value viking symbols and 4 low value coin symbols on this game, and you need to land 3 to 5 identical symbols on a payline to win. There is also a very important treasure chest symbol that serves different functions on this game, and we’ll get more into that when we discuss the bonus features:

• Viking Chief - Pays 10x your stake for 5 on a payline
• Red Beard Viking - Pays 9x your stake for 5 on a payline
• Grey Beard Viking - Pays 8x your stake for 5 on a payline
• Female Viking - Pays 7x your stake for 5 on a payline
• Gold, Silver, Iron and Bronze coins - Low value symbols that pay between 3.2x and 2x

What are the bonus features?

The treasure chest symbol is very central to this game, and this is where the vikings keep their loot. It can show up both in the base game, as well as the free spins feature, and you can win up to 1000 coins when you open the treasure chest in the base game. That’s it really for the base game, and now we shall focus on the main dish served in this game.

Free spins in Vikings Go Wild

The free spins feature is by far the main attraction on Vikings Go Wild (and might we say the only attraction?), and you trigger this feature by landing at least 3 scatter symbols on the same spin. You get 8, 16 or 24 free spins when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters, respectively.

What’s cool about the free spins feature is that you get to see any viking character that lands on the reels fight the awful sea monster. If the viking is successful and beats the monster, that symbol will turn into a sticky wild. The sticky wild will remain frozen in place for all the remaining spins, and all wilds present while the free spins feature was triggered will also become sticky.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

There is no progressive jackpot or local jackpot you can win here, and the potential is not massive for this medium variance game. That being said, you can still win up to £190,000, which is not all that bad taking all things into consideration. Sure, you will need maximum luck in the free spins feature for that to happen.

SlotCatalog verdict

Vikings Go Wild takes you on a wild viking adventure on the open seas, and the major highlight is the epic battle between the sea monster and the vikings that can happen during the all-important free spins feature. The volatility of this game is like the rough seas themselves, and you can win some pretty solid payouts with a little luck on your Viking plunder, just as long as you can keep yourself even-keeled.
