Released in August 2022, Vikings Journey online slot is a significant addition to Red Rake Gaming’s already diverse catalogue. Inspired with fierce Viking warriors, this game showcases high-quality visuals, backed up with a dynamic musical score. Players can join ruthless sea-farers in their efforts to overthrow the King and bag up hefty sums along the way. One can benefit from 178 ways to win, Wild Substitutions, the King’s Coins Mini-game and Respins.
This 5-reel, 4-row slot supports 178 ways to win, meaning 3 or more identical symbols must land on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost position so prizes are issued. The game launches quickly and when it does, players can select the desired bet by tapping “-“and “+” buttons. Doing so decreases the wager down to $0.10 or increases it up to $100.00. To begin playing, press Spin or activate Autoplay if you are into an automatic gameplay.
The reels are home to 6 regular symbols, three of which are low-value Shields that grant 1x the bet when 5 form a win. The higher part of the Paytable is occupied with a Horn, an Axe and a Viking Ship that deliver 2x your wager if 5 land in sequence. Wild, represented with an axe-wielding Viking, delivers a prize of 5x your stake for 5 of a kind and substitutes other symbols in wins, excluding the King symbol. When Wild lands on the 5th reel it causes Respins by moving to the left part of the grid.
Besides Wilds ability to replace other icons in winning combinations, there’s one more benefit it brings. As it only appears on the final reel, whenever this happens, Wild will trigger Respins. It starts shifting by one reel to the left, granting a Respin with each change of position. The feature continues until Wild walks out of the layout. The King symbol also initiates Respin when at least 3 land anywhere. When Wild appears during these Respins, it will walk to the King’s position to attack him. The Viking can move vertically and horizontally on its way to the King, leaving Wilds in its way. Attacks continue until there are no more Kings in view. Be on the lookout for each King symbol during main game, as they contribute to the Progress Bar, which launches the King’s Coins Mini-game when completely full. Three Coins remain in their positions and 3 free spins take place. Each new Coin resets the spin counter back to 3, while Wilds appearing award Multipliers. Should the entire playing area become covered with Coins, you will be in for a Grand prize.
The RTP stands at 95.40%, slightly under the standard. Vikings Journey video slot is fully adaptable to portable screens, so you can take it with you wherever you go.
