Viking Legend Slots
Ruthless marauders, fearless seafarers, barbaric beasts. Whatever you want to call the Vikings, there is no denying that they were one of the bravest, most powerful and most successful civilisations to grace the world.
This slot machine by WorldMatch software tells the Viking Legend through 5 spinning reels, featuring up to 20 paylines upon which punters can line up a gang of fearsome Nordic fighters for wins worth up to 20,000 credits. That's certainly a good treasure haul for any brave spinning warrior, and fortune might just favour the brave with a bonus round of 10 free spins that are tripled in value.
Vicious Vikings
Hailing from the shores of Scandinavia, the Vikings were a group of culturally related peoples who conquered various areas of Northern Europe and extended their trading routes to far away lands such as North Africa and Central Asia. Nowadays, the modern stereotype of a Viking may not be the most flattering, often depicting the Ancient Norse people of the middle ages as brutish, savage and devoid of any morality.
However, the Viking culture was rich with art, literature and music. Did you know that there are hundreds of common words in the modern English language which are directly taken from the Old Norse language of the Vikings.
A few of those words are “ugly”, “rugged” and “bleak”. And it wouldn't be too amiss to use words like those when describing the aesthetics of this . Now, don't get us wrong, we don't mean to suggest that the designers and artists who worked on this game didn't do a good job. Instead, perhaps it is better to say that the game-makers did a good job at capturing the dark and stormy environment of the Northern seas which the Viking people were so adept at traversing. As such, the reels of this slot machine are set over a dramatic scene of black clouds, misty sea spray and turbulent waves. So, if you're at all inclined to sea sickness, perhaps this rocky slot machine isn't for you.
Raid the Reels for Riches
There are some worthwhile rewards for spinners who are brave enough to endure the choppy waves of Viking Legend. First of all, however, those players will need to settle their bets by choosing whether to play with 1, 5, 10, 15 or 20 paylines, followed by a line wager chosen from the following available options: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50, 1.00 and 2.00.
With you wagers on the table, you can start to set the reels of this slot machine in motion with the hope to find any of the following line bet multiplier prizes:
Make Way for the Shieldmaiden
Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of old Viking history and legend is the prominence of female warriors on the battlefield. Admittedly, these “shieldmaidens” tend to appear more in legendary sagas from the Old Norse culture, but there were a few historical accounts of fierce women armed and ready to fight for riches and glory.
This slot machine also features a brave lass in the form a wild symbol, meaning that the shieldmaiden character will help players to complete winning paylines by replacing all normal icons.
Smash and Grab Bonus
This game also features a special scatter symbol which is depicted by the horned helmet icon (something that is also something of legend than from historical fact!). This horned helmet that is the staple at any Oktoberfest or fancy dress party will appear all over the reels to award total bet multiplier prizes worth 10x, 50x, 100x and 500x whenever two, three, four or five appear respectively.
On top of that, three or more helmet icons in any position will trigger a round of 10 free games, during which all prizes will be tripled in value. That's what we call a smash and grab raid!
Legendary Spins?
Viking Legend may not be pretty, but it promises to deliver some hard-hitting spinning action with its fierce Viking warrior characters and 3D animated action. It's not going to appeal to every taste and sensibility but, with free spin wins that will be multiplied by 3x, there is every reason for punters to brave the stormy seas and go for a spin with these Viking adventurers.
