Vikings were known for going to great lengths to bring honour and wealth to their clansmen. Viking Fortune is staying the course with exciting features, three in-game jackpots and a €100,000 prize up for grabs!
Set Sail For Viking Shores
Given the warlike theme one would expect Viking Fortune: Hold and Win to be a brash game, with plenty of clashing weapons and a driving sound track. However this is not the case, it is in fact a rather calming slot with well-designed symbols set against a pastel coloured Viking landscape. The music is a subtle blend lyre, flutes, a bass-heavy horn and light drumming – all underscored by the ebb and flow of ocean waves.
The knot work and carved wood elements of the 5 reel 3 row base game add a sense of handcrafted quality and old-world weight to this Norse themed 25 payline casino game. The high value symbols are surprisingly not ancient gods like Odin and Loki but rather a Viking Warrior, a Shield Maiden, a Raven and a Wolf. According to Norse mythology the Wolf relates to battle and the Raven to long journeys (often seen on the sails of ships) which is in keeping with warlike imagery the Warrior and Shield Maiden symbols.
The only other 3 symbols of interest are the Wild, Scatter and Bonus. The Wild is a simple shield like symbol which substitutes all symbols except the Scatter and Bonus. The Scatter is a gold chest, which is fitting for the symbol that unlocks the highly valued Free Spins feature.
Last but most importantly is the Bonus symbol. This symbol is shaped to look like a blank gold coin, and is the key to the most lucrative features and richest payouts in Viking Fortune! The potential values randomly ascribed to these coins are linked to your bet size which ranges from as little as €0.20 per spin up to a kingly sum of €100.00 per spin!
