Viking Fire slot game review

The Viking age was an interesting time. A time of raids, colonization and conquests this is a very serious part of history, but the Viking Fire slot at Cozino takes a more light-hearted approach to the topic.

Design

The Viking Fire video slot features 5 reels and 40 paylines. As is clear by the name, this slot is inspired by the Viking era. The reels are set in a background of animal skin framed in wood, with the Viking village in the background.

Symbols include a man wielding an axe, a man with a ginger beard wearing a helmet, a sword wielding red-haired woman, and man with a magical crystal ball wearing a turban. Other symbols include a golden hammer and a small black and white spotty dog.

Betting ranges

The 40 paylines are fixed in order to offer the maximum number of ways to win with every spin. You can change your line bet by using the blue up and down arrows to raise or lower your current bet. Bets range from €0 .01 per line to €25.00 per line. The overall minimum bet per spin thus amounts to €0.50, while the maximum bet amounts to €1,250 per spin. This big betting range makes the game suitable for most players, particularly the mid and high rollers.

Cash prizes

The Viking Fire slot pays out relatively well, with the highest paying symbol to look out for being the scattered fireball. The scattered fireball pays 2000 coins for 5 matching symbols. This winning combination also triggers the bonus round, where more wilds and free spins are awarded when you sink ships.

The golden hammer represents the wild in this slot, which means that it can replace all of the other symbols in a winning combination (except for the scatter that is). Five golden hammers pay out 1,500 coins. In a case where the golden hammer completes a winning combination, it also doubles the payout.

The best of the regular symbols is the Viking with the ginger beard and helmet. This symbol pays up to 750 coins for a 5-of-a-kind combination. Next up are turban wearing man and the red-haired woman, both offering250 coins for a 5-of-a-kind combination. The black and white dog pays 150 coins for 5 matching symbols. Then there are also card symbols that award lower payouts. The King offers 125 coins for 5 matching symbols, and the Queen, Jack, 10 and the 9 all pay up to 100 coins for a 5-symbol combination.

Sink the Ships in the bonus round to Enjoy Free Spins and Extra Wilds, which could in turn also lead to a boost in your winnings.

Special features

Bonus game: When you land three (or more) scattered fireball bonus symbols, the Viking character on the screen is struck by lightning, triggering the bonus game. In this round, you pick which ships to fire at – when it’s a hit your prizes are revealed. The rewards could be either free spins or additional wilds. The extra wilds are golden versions of the Viking character symbols.

Gamble feature: with this feature you have the chance to double or quadruple your winnings.  If you choose to double your winnings you will have to guess the colour of the card that will be drawn next, and to quadruple them you will need to guess the suit of the card.
