Asgardian Stones
About The Slot Machine
New Asgardian Stones have a fairly common structure that is based on 5 columns, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines. In addition to the usual mechanics, however, there are features that we have not seen from NetEnt before, including a bonus wheel combined with other cheeky bonus features such as free spins, Wilds, enlarged symbols. As usual when it comes to casino games launched by NetEnt, this slot also has a high RTP rate of 96.31%, making it perfect for both high rollers and more frugal players.

Symbols
The lowest value symbols in the Asgardian Stones consist of the typical letters A, K, and Q engraved in runestones. These three all have exactly the same value in a winning combination and can generate a win of 30 coins when you Spin 5 of the same symbol in a winning pattern. The game's higher paying symbols consist of carved stone figures that all reflect the asagud. They usually generate bigger wins than the lower symbols depending on the paylines and combinations.
The oldest and wisest of the Asagods, Odin has been selected as the frontman of the game and is the symbol that is worth the most of the runestones. If you combine 5 of him right on the reels, a win of 500 coins will roll in. Odin's wife Frigg sits on the second highest value of all the stronger stones in the game. She is green and can give profit of 300 coins when combining 5 of her. After that comes Heimdall which is the blue figure of the game that can give a win of 150 coins.
Goddess of fertility Freja recognized as a violet symbol, it has the second lowest value of the more$aft symbols in the game, followed by Bull which can generate profit of 100 coins.
Wilds
The Joker in the game has a light blue background and a clear W in gold in the middle. This works like Wilds usually work in online slots and can substitute for all other symbols, in this case with the exception of the bonus wheel. In the game's free spins round, you can see this as really awesome across the screen if you're lucky.
Functions
As in some previous releases from Netent, Asgardian Stones has also received the Avalanche feature that excludes the classic reels that spin. Instead, the slot machine consists of 5 columns where the symbols fall into place. A winning combination activates the feature and runestones roll down and$US other symbols found below. Symbols that have generated a win then explode and disappear from their columns, making room for new symbols to take their place.
Colossal Symbols
Colossal is exactly what some symbols can become after activating the Avalanche feature. Here, an enlarged symbol can fall down on the playing field. All symbols can be enlarged in the game's regular game round with the exception of Wild symbols that can only appear in the free spins round. These can be in the formats 2×2 or 3×3, it is therefore not possible to get more than one enlarged symbol in the same game round. The rest of the space on the playing field is filled with regular symbols.
The bonus wheel
Here it gets really interesting, especially since this is the first time we see something like this from Netent. The bonus wheel in the game is a block symbol that takes up 3×3 places on the columns in the game. This can only land on the last 3 reels on the far right both in the regular game round and in the free spins round. If you get the bonus wheel, you don't know if it's free spins, a coin win or both , this depends entirely on how the wheel comes to rest, just like any wheel of Fortune.
Unlike the usual symbols in the game, the bonus wheel does not disappear from the playing field after your win$has been edited, which means that the Avalanche function does not start immediately afterwards.
In addition to the multipliers in the Colossal Crush feature, the coin wins from the bonus wheel are also multiplied . However, this multiplier is not reset if it is followed up by triggering the Avalanche function. If the multiplier should increase again, then the multiplier for the coin value increases. When the Avalache feature ends, all winnings from the bonus wheel are added to your balance.
Free spins
In the free spins round, the Wild symbol can also roll down in a larger format. If such a symbol were to be part of a winning combination, it would be split as 1×1 before exploding and disappearing from the playing field. It may also be worth remembering that the game round with free spins is activated with the same bet level as the game round that triggered the feature.
Colossal Crush features
Only after activating the Avalanche feature once can this bonus feature be triggered in both the game's regular game round and in the game round with free spins. However, a colossal symbol must always have symbols located in all fields directly below it. When a new enlarged symbol then falls down, it randomly rows of symbols just below.
Should a large symbol be produced when the line below is empty of symbols as a result of a win, the larger symbol will keep the symbols below until it is at the bottom of the playing field or until there are no more symbols left under it.
Summary
Although by now we have gotten used to the fact that Netent basically delivers 100% every time a new game is launched, we are still really impressed by the Asgardian Stones. Not only does the slot have more bonus features than most other video slots, the graphics and sound are also of the same standard, if not even more captivating than what we usually see from NetEnt. The fact that you can multiply both coin wins and regular winning combinations and that a wheel of fortune appears in a video slot to surprise with both coins and free spins is clearly a feature that will be appreciated by all casino players.
