How Vikings Go Wild plays
This is a classic line slot, and its eight regular symbols pay for three or more in a row on one of the 25 lines. Four coins make up the lower pays and four Viking characters the higher ones, while a wild substitutes for the regular symbols.
The Treasure Chest is the base game’s extra. It lands on reel five, and opening it reveals either a coin prize of up to 1,000 coins or a set of 8 to 12 free spins. The chest can also turn up during the free spins.
Yggdrasil rates the volatility as low to medium. That generally points to smaller, more frequent wins than a high-volatility game, though every spin is still random.
Free spins and the sea monster
Free spins start when three or more ship scatters land. Three ships give 8 free spins, four give 16 and five give 24.
In the round, the Vikings take on a sea monster. Every Viking symbol that lands fights it, and a Viking that wins becomes a sticky wild, frozen in place until the free spins end. Any other wild that lands in the round is held in place as well.
That is the heart of the game: the wilds are earned one fight at a time, so the grid can grow stronger as the round goes on, with each sticky wild able to help the spins that follow.
