If you like sailing the high seas and spinning the reels on a slot game, you will enjoy this latest slot from Relax Gaming.
In “Volatile Vikings“, players get on to a Viking ship sailing a fjord in the northern seas. The goal is to help the ship and its crew reach their destination via any means possible. The game displays all of this extremely well as the developer has done a good job with the graphics.
The game focuses on a grid with six reels and five rows, which is larger than normal for a slot. Volatile Vikings uses a different payout mechanic than normal slot games.
It uses the Scatter Pays mechanic, which means players need to land eight or more symbols anywhere on the grid to score a payout. That makes it a lot harder to do than the normal paylines system. The game has a max cash jackpot of $2,500 waiting to be won.
As for the paytable, the game uses a fully thematic set from Viking lore. There are four low-paying rune stones and then five different Norse masks for a medium payout. In addition, there are a couple of bonus symbols. One is the Multiplier Reveal symbol and there is the Bonus symbol.
Players of Volatile Viking might be a bit disappointed with the limited betting range. The minimum bet starts at $0.10 and only goes up to $50. This makes Volatile Vikings best suited for low and mid stakes players.
Special Features
Volatile Vikings does have several nice features that make this slot exciting to play. For one, there is the Cascade mechanic. After every win, all winning symbols are removed and new ones fall to replace them. Players can then form new wins and the cycle continues.
Players can also land two Multiplier Reveal Symbols. They each have a number, one is a counter and the other is a multiplier. The counter goes down after every cascade and if it reaches zero, the multiplier is awarded to the player, and all symbols around the multiplier are destroyed. There are also free spins if players land three bonus symbols. It rewards six free spins and an additional one for every bonus that lands.
Overall, Volatile Vikings is a fun slot to play and has a good RTP of 96.23 percent.
