Viy Slot by Five Men Gaming

Overview

Fans of fiction and horror stories may recognize the title of this release. Viy is an online slot game created by Five Men Gaming inspired by Gogol's short story about the king of gnomes. Besides the intriguing story, this title also has unique graphics and extras like respins and free spins.

Graphics & Theme

Viy is a creepy character that appears in several stories. It's often depicted as the king of gnomes, a Grim Reaper character, or even the Tsar of Death. We are talking about a scary character that you don't want to meet in real life. As for the graphics, you should expect blue reels in wooden frames and original cartoonish icons. Players can also see the gloomy sky in the background.

Gameplay

Viy comes with 5 reels and has 20 paylines. This release has a payout table with eight basic symbols: a mysterious book, Panochka (the girl), Viy, and five playing card icons. Whenever users have three, four, or five identical symbols on one payline, they get a cash prize. Additionally, Panochka will help players win with two icons on a payline.

Khoma (the male character) is a wild icon that pays big prizes and counts as any missing basic symbol. Then we have another version of Viy (with weird eyelids) that serves as a scatter icon. Landing three or more scatters anywhere on the matrix will launch a round of up to 25 free spins. Viy icons are kept in place during free spins, and respins appear until no new Viy icons are added.

We also have bats in the role of overlay symbol. Three or more overlaid symbols will transform three to five reels into bat reels. During free spins, just two of them can help you turn two reels into bat reels. Remember that the bat is a paying icon.
