Le Viking slot review
Le Viking is a Hacksaw Gaming slot released in January 2025, and it takes the studio’s “Le” series to a Norse setting. It plays on six reels and five rows with 15,625 ways, and its bonus side runs on lives rather than a fixed number of spins: coin respins in Raid Spins, then four free spins rounds chosen by how many scatters land. The maximum win is 10,000x stake.

How Le Viking plays
Wins are counted across all 15,625 ways, so matching symbols on adjacent reels can pay without having to sit on one fixed line. Most of the action, though, comes from the collectable symbols that drop in among the ordinary pays:
- Coins: bronze, silver and gold, each with a cash value tied to your stake.
- Diamonds: cash symbols with higher values than coins.
- Clovers: green and gold versions that stick in place during the bonus rounds.
Six coins of any kind in one base-game spin start Raid Spins. The coins stay put, you get three lives, and each respin costs one. Any new coin, diamond or clover sticks and refills the lives to three. When the lives are gone, the coins and diamonds still on the grid pay out their values.
Berserk, Valkyrie, Ragnarök and Journey to Valhalla free spins
Scatters marked FS open the free spins, and the count decides the round. Three give Berserk Free Spins, four Valkyrie Free Spins, five Ragnarök Free Spins and six Journey to Valhalla Free Spins. These rounds also use lives: a spin that adds nothing costs one, and Heart symbols can lift the total up to five.
Every round starts with grid multipliers where the scatters landed, from 2x in Berserk up to 10x in the six-scatter round. A Magic Cauldron symbol acts as the collector, gathering the values in view. That ladder of four rounds is what sets Le Viking apart from earlier entries such as Le Bandit, which centres on Golden Squares instead.
