Vikingdom

About Vikingdom Castle

In Vikingdom from Genii you get to make a visit to the barren Scandinavia at that time then̊ We New Zealandr, Danes and norrm on̈ n was called FO R Vikings . It is a time that is always more or less current in popular culture, but perhaps especially now. The TV series Vikings and Marvel's films with Thor as the central character have really put the Viking Age on the map again.

There are many game developers on online casinos which has at least one slot with the Viking Age and/or the asagods as the theme. Many times the theme is based on a more” caricatured " image. Viking Quest Big Time Gaming and Viking Clash from Push Gaming are good examples. However, Genii has created a more authentic image of ancient times than these slots offer.

Behind the wheels you can see traditional longhouses and a harbour with Viking ships at anchor. The wheel rack itself is framed by sturdy beams, and fireplaces hang from them. In the base game, they are extinguished, but in the free spins round, they are really on fire.

The symbols depict axes, shields and three$igare, one of which is a woman. Could it be Lagertha Genii refers to? A nice detail is that even the low-win symbols are richly decorated in ”Viking style”. The graphics are overall really good, and there are feel̈ lots of really nice animations . For example, all winning symbols are animated in a way that gives them a 3D character. We can mention that the $ igarprincess blows a horn when she brings profit. The "Joker warrior" instead stabs with his axes and the shields are allowed to withstand a rain of arrows.

To complement the authentic image of the Viking age, Genii has provided Vikingdom with a clearly delicious soundscape. A melody with horns of various kinds is background music, and the sound effects are many.

Stakes and winnings

If you think you have what it takes to take a seat in one of the longships, you play for between 4 – 500$per spin. When setting your bet, you should specify both the coin value, bet level and the number of lines. Thus, when most game developers move towards simplifying as much as possible, Genii does the opposite. It is much trickier to specify the stake than it is in, for example Vikings Go Berzerk from Yggdrasil .

The coin values are 0.10, 0.50, 1 and 2.50$ . The number of lines is 40 and you play with between 1-5 coins per line. Autoplay is available as an option, but you cannot set up instant play.

It is somewhat unclear how much can be won to the maximum in Vikingdom. It is clear that a hit with five wilds gives the h single line win (2000 coins). If you record this win in the free spins round, it is doubled, giving 4000 coins. In theory, it may be possible to get wilds on all positions, which in that case would give 160,000 coins, but such a win is not mentioned in the rules of the game.

For some reason, Genii also does not present RTP for its slot. That's remarkable and it may be reason enough to opt out of the game. You want to know what a slot gives back over time! However, we have numbers on volatility. Between the thumb and forefinger we can say that it is ”medium”.

Symbols

Vikingdom has three special symbols (one of which only appears in the free spins round). The Joker, the scatter symbol and the highest paying ”normal” symbol represent Vikings.

The medium win symbols are in the form of a long ship on the wave den blå, a chest with treasures, two crossed axes, a sledgehammer and a shield. The low win symbols are A, k, Q, J. As I said, all symbols are really nicely designed and when you record wins, you get to experience very innovative effects.

Game features

Vikingdom basically has a classic set of special features with its wilds and its free spins round. However, there are some specializations that should be given a little extra attention.

Wilds

A real raw-barked viking with a red beard and big axes is the wild of the game. It is available in two variants. In the base game, it is two positions high and can get on just about any reel. In the free spins round, instead, it can only land on the center reel. In return, it then expands to cover the entire wheel. Quite many of your wins in the free spins round come from the expanding wild symbol .

In both the base game and the free spins bonus, all winnings that you play home with the Joker are doubled. It is a special feature that is featured in almost all Geniis slots, and it is a feature that over time provides a large part of the payback.

Scatters

A female $ yesterday (Lagertha? it is a scatter. She looks almost terrifying with her$igspainting, but she is a dear sight as she appears three or more times. If you get three scatters scattered on the screen, you win 8 free spins. With four you get 12 spins instead and with five scatters you win 15 free spins. Snopet enough, however, the scatter does not give any cash winnings.

Free spins

The bonus mode with free spins can become a very lucrative story. Firstly, as mentioned, you have the chance to get an expanding joker on the third reel. Secondly, you get play all your free spins with a multiplier p Oh 2x . A line hit with a wild gives four times the normal payout.

Third, the $ Igar princess herself can show up and give you extra jokers on the reels. The animation that shows this is really nice. The warrior princess appears to the left of the reels and fires an arrow at a randomly selected position. That position is then converted into a joker.

Summary

Video slots with Vikings as the main characters, there are thirteen out of a dozen. In one casino with New Zealand license with an average supply, you can easily find at least ten pieces! So, why should one choose Vikingdom before any of the other titles? We have to say that we are impressed by the graphics and the general presentation in Vikingdom. This is a really nicely designed slot. We also think that Genii has created a good balance in the math model. However, the fact that Genii does not specify the refund (RTP) is a very big minus.

If you try Vikingdom (do it for FREE here in the review!) and discover that the game is not for you, you have many options. Popular slots on the theme are Yggdrasil's three titles with LED Vikings Go and NetEnt's Vikings online Slot. These games are listed at several casinos where payments and first deposit can be made even in small denominations. We have leaderboards with Casino Swish 25$ which can suit anyone looking for games for a little money.
