Play Lords of Asgard for Free

Gaming1 haven’t tried to make online casinos ’ most like-life game, but Lords of Asgard does have a genuine and honest feel about it that suits the theme it is. Viking’s were notoriously hard hitting and ruthless, not often bothered about how they were perceived, more about how practical and strong they seemed to their foes. This game has recreated that well, with a screen that is dark but practical and a feeling that the players have escaped modern life and gone back hundreds of years.

The icons though are a bit strange when talking about a Viking theme. Most of the icons are dice, which gives the impression that the game was somewhat rushed and hurried in its making. Some of the wealthier and bonus symbols though do feature an elderly Viking, a young lady and animals showing their strength and power. So those icons are worth more, replicate the theme Lords of Asgard are looking to create. It’s a success and should be applauded as such – despite its strange choice of including dice in the paytable.

Before players spin the reels, the amount staked on the play needs to be decided. This process is done by clicking the ‘stake’ button, which is just to the left of the spin infographic at the bottom of the screen. Clicking that will increase the bet to the next possible number. Players can either bet the following amount of coins in one play: 0.2, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 with the maximum bet being 5 coins.

Once happy with how much is being staked on the spin, players can click the ‘spin’ icon and sit back as the Lords of Asgard’s reels begin to turn. Line up anything from 2 to 5 of the same icons and players will pocket themselves a win! Anything from 0.5 to 100 coins plus 40 free spins can be won in a single turn, so there’s more than enough to keep the viewing public on the edge of their seat.

Lords of Asgard’s bonuses include a free spins section where those fortunate enough to line up a certain number of will be able to play a certain number of plays without spending anything. Players can still win in this mode though as the stake will be the same as the one used when winning the free plays – making it a no-lose situation.

Those that are unable to earn the free plays, don’t panic, as the wild icon is there to replace any other symbol in the reels. The fiery red dragon is the most profitable member of the paytable so see these starting to appear on the screen means a big win is on the horizon.

Gaming1 aren’t one of the most prominent game providers in the online casino market, but their creation of Lords of Asgard deserves applause and recognition. It’s a trendy and fun way of bringing ancient culture, particularly the Vikings, to the online casino world. There are some negatives, including the strange selection in the paytable, but their enough wild symbols, paylines and bonuses to keep players interested. It’s that what makes this game what it is, interesting and rather pioneering.
