Play Viking Story for Free

Scandinavia is renowned for having a stunning albeit harsh climate and landscape, with the winters bitterly cold and unforgiving, though it all adds to the romantic charm of the location. Such an iconic scene is what has become the backdrop of the Viking Story theme; snow topped mountains and huge icicles are all you can see behind the imagery of the 3x5 matrix.

Inside the grid itself, there’s plenty of different depictions of viking mythology and culture, some of which are from the romanticised medium of the history we readily engage with nowadays. Whether you know anything about vikings is irrelevant, as the atmosphere of the game has a tangibility all its own.

The graphics are rather gritty in quality, almost slightly outdated, but not quite. Fortunately for the game it works with the harsh environment displayed, adding another layer of texture to Viking Story.

To help differentiate between the two bonus icons, they both use different pictures and are labelled either ‘Bonus’ or ‘Jackpot Bonus’; the bonus tile is that of a large man, brandishing an axe. A minimum of three will be needed to form a match that will trigger the corresponding bonus level.

When the screen loads, you’ll see that a new section of the snowy landscape has been opened up to players, with a triangular shield formation found on the left hand side of the screen. Your cursor will have turned into an axe, your mission being to crack and break as many shields as possible to obtain your prizes; if you’ve played Year II, this round is incredibly similar, even down to the ice setting.

Walking away with all the money is what every gamer dreams of when playing the slots, be that in a bricks and mortar casino or online, and so the idea of being able to win not one but three jackpots will definitely peak interests.

Above the grid is where you’ll find the totals of each, during the base game, though the figures will also be given when you launch the Jackpot Bonus, activated via at least three of the horse riding viking. Even though all three levels of prize are up for grabs upon the icy wheel, so too are many other rewards, of various sizes, meaning that you could end up with a lot less than the €69,874 payout.

Additional gamble options are one of the features that Casino Web Scripts does best, and so you’ll likely trigger the double or nothing option when you make a win. In contrast to some of their games that take a more unique approach to this risky extra, this version returns to a conventional red or black card guessing game.

Gamers can win as much as x5 of their win if they guess correctly five consecutive times, but should they lose then the win from the entire round will be lost; it’s just as brutal as the savage imagery of the vikings themselves.

The issue we take with this round is that, with such a varied design, why the brand didn’t breathe new life into the gamble option is beyond us – it feels like a missed opportunity.

When playing this slot, you can create your own tale of vikings, fresh with the battle scars of your encounters will the reels and winlines.

Viking Story is one of the brand’s larger and more enjoyable games, especially visually speaking, but so many elements could have been greatly enhanced in order to deliver a superior experience.
