Editorial note: this is a general guide to Viking slots at Fortune Games. Slot rules, features and RTP can vary between operators and game versions, so always check each game's information panel before you spin. Slots are games of chance — nothing here is a prediction of results, and no strategy changes the odds.
Viking Slots
A Viking slot is built around the Norse world: Thor and his hammer, Odin and Loki, Valkyries, longships and carved runes. Our guides credit Microgaming (now Games Global) with the Thunderstruck games, and studios such as Stormcraft Studios, All41 Studios, Just For The Win, Pragmatic Play, Blueprint Gaming, Play’n GO, Playtech, Yggdrasil and 1X2gaming with others. Our guides to Viking slots we stock are listed below.

What makes a Viking slot
The gods carry most of these games. Thor is the wild in the 2004 Thunderstruck, doubling any win he completes, and again in Thunderstruck Stormchaser, where his hammer is the scatter. Thunderstruck II puts Thor, Odin, Loki and the Valkyrie at the top of its paytable, while Viking Runecraft hands each level of its grid to a different god: Thor, Heimdall, Freya and finally Odin.
Below the gods sit the gear and creatures of the sagas. Helmets, axes, spearheads, horns and longships are common premiums, and the lower pays are often runes rather than plain card ranks. Ice Cave uses five runes named for Wealth, Joy, Protection, Victory and Power, alongside the wolf Fenrir and a raven, and Odin’s Riches fills its grid with ravens, serpents, wolves and dragons.
Two features come up again and again. The Wildstorm of Thunderstruck II can strike a base game spin at random and turn up to all five reels wild, and it returns in Stormchaser. Rolling Reels and cascades are just as common: winning symbols clear away and new ones fall into the gaps, as in Odin’s Riches and Vikings Unleashed Megaways.
How Viking slots differ
Layouts vary widely. Vikings Go Wild from Yggdrasil is a 25-line game on five reels and four rows, rated low to medium volatility. Battle Maidens from 1X2gaming uses 1,024 ways, and in the base game each of its five maidens lands only on her own reel. Vikings Unleashed Megaways from Blueprint Gaming runs six reels of changing heights for up to 117,649 ways, with an extra horizontal reel over the middle columns. Viking Runecraft and Odin’s Riches drop the reels altogether for a 7x7 grid, where clusters of five or more matching symbols pay.
The bonus triggers change from game to game too. In Odin’s Riches no scatter opens the free spins: a meter filled by 125 winning symbols does, and each modifier in the round lifts a multiplier. 11 Coins of Fire from All41 Studios pays Epic Strike prizes whenever three or more gold coins land, and all eleven coins pay its top prize of 10,000x stake. In Battle Maidens, only the maidens that triggered the round bring their features into its 10 free spins, and our guide gives a maximum win of 20,000x stake.
Where to start
Each of these shows the theme from a different angle:
- Thunderstruck: Microgaming’s 2004 original, with 15 free spins in which every win is tripled.
- Thunderstruck II: the 2010 sequel, whose Great Hall of Spins unlocks four free spins modes, led by the Valkyrie, Loki, Odin and Thor, the more often you trigger the bonus.
- Ice Cave: Playtech’s 2017 game, where frozen Ice Wilds build up on the base reels until a Hammer Wild smashes them.
- Vikings Go Wild: free spins in which every Viking that beats the sea monster becomes a sticky wild until the round ends.
- Power of Thor Megaways: Pragmatic Play’s 2021 Megaways game, with hammer scatters and a free spins multiplier that grows as the round goes on.

Frequently asked questions
What are Viking slots?
