Play Viking's Fun for Free

Before you get ahead of yourself, however, we would like to remind you that Viking’s Fun is not a slot that can spell an instant road to sure-fire riches for you. It has been developed for the penny-slot niche, and the winnings it potentially holds in its warbag are just about proportionate to this niche.

There are 5 standard reels, each of which carries 3 rows. That gives 15 grid positions, further gridlined by 25 static paylines. The reel to payline ratio here, thus, comes out to be 0.2 – a number that we consider just about the highest threshold of a fertile slot. So, rest easy, because enough combinations are there to be struck, and enough coins waiting to be won.

Vikings are often credited with popularizing metal coins in Scandinavia, and by some accounts, even in England. It only makes sense for us, then, to briefly address the state of coins in this fabulous slot.

Keeping true to regular Casino Technology method, the wagering ways have been curtailed to allow only one coin per line. While the coin values can be as low as 1 cent, they cannot rise above the upper limit of 20 cents. In effect, the highest you can wager per spin here is $5, which, for what it is worth, is a sizeable amount for beginners.

To be able to tread these scurvy-infested and wind-battered Scandinavian waters, you need to be at ease on both land and sea. So, getting to know the symbols of all sorts would be of some help.

The symbols used here all reflect Viking culture in one way or another. The rest of the quorum is made up by face cards (A, K, Q, J) and a 10. The highest paying symbols are a meatloaf, a glass of rum and two Viking women (a blonde and a redhead). All of these yield 625 coins for 5-in-a-row combinations.

Scattering your misfortune away is the scatter symbol of this slot – a Viking warship. If you get it at least 3 times in any position on the screen, you get 15 free spins and stipulated coin bonuses. What’s even better, when this happens, the Viking lady symbols will automatically turn into temporary wilds, allowing you to further manipulate your spin outputs!

The wild sea is only tamed with the help of battle scarred war-veterans who know the ins and outs of treacherous waves. You will need some reinforcement from one such ally – a veteran Viking who acts as the wild of the slot.

This is the best symbol you will find here, and it yields a whopping loot of 10,000 coins for five appearances. In addition, it also allows you to shuffle your regular symbols freely, just as you wish.

Viking’s Fun features the classic Casino Technology gamble feature of colours and suits. If your winnings are less than 10x of your wagers, you will have the options of taking this round head-on. Here, guessing the correct colour (2x) and/or suit (4x) of the sample cards will see your winnings getting multiplied on the spot. But be wary – this is where you can put all those coins you’ve won straight down the Arctic Sea!

What we loved the most about Viking’s Fun is its wild symbol that pays out without inhibitions. Barring that, the overall gameplay is just at par with other slots available, though it falls short of big slots like Vikings Go Wild. Absence of more bonus features somewhat hurts its appeal, but from what we’ve seen so far, newcomers could do much worse than playing at a good slot like Viking’s Fun!
