High Variance, Volatile Vikings Action

Open up the Volatile Vikings slot machine online and you’re greeted with an icy scene where colourful higher-paying carvings and lower-paying ruins fill the reels.

At first glance it looks like a grid-style slot like you’ll find in the Viking Runecraft game from Play’n GO, but at heart it’s still a simple video slot.

The only difference is that it doesn’t pay from left to right, right to left or in clusters, instead paying for finding 8 or more of the same symbols anywhere on screen.

Yes, this is essentially a scatter pays slot with every simple acting like a scatter symbol, you’ve just got to find eight of them on a single spin to win.

Oh and did we forget to mention that each win explodes the winning symbols letting more tumble down to replace them.

Yes, it’s a feature that we’ve seen in many online slots including the likes of the Gonzo’s Quest and the Jungle Jim slots.

Multiplier Reveal

Along with the Viking carvings and ruins you’ll find some special value simples with multipliers attached.

At the start of each spin, 2 of these Multiplier Reveal symbols are present, on one reel 3 and one on reel 4.

The special values are actually counters, which count down by 1 on each consecutive cascading spin. When the counter reaches 0 the multiplier value is released destroying adjacent symbols allowing more to drop down.

At the end of your spin all of the multiplier values are added up and applied to the total win.

A feature that doesn’t happen that often, but can lead to added wins as you wait to trigger the Volatile Vikings free spins bonus.

Buy the Volatile Vikings Bonus

If you have 100x your current bet to spend then you might not have to wait long to trigger the free spins.

A handy Buy button to the left of the reels will let you buy the free spins for 100x your bet, a hefty sum, which is slightly more than you’ll find the Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded slot.

Buy the bonus and you’ll instantly win 6 free spins, with the chance to win up to 20,000x your total bet. Is it worth it? Probably not. It’s definitely a feature that’s reserved for high limit slots players and those with bigger slots budgets.

Volatile Vikings Free Spins

Either use the Bonus Buy or find 3 or more of the Bonus treasure chest symbols across the six reels and you’ll trigger 6 free spins.

For each bonus symbol you find during the free spins will add 1 extra free spin to your total.

Not only that but those Multiplier now comes in handy with each extra symbol that gets to 0 adding its’ multiplier to the overall total.

This could see you land 14x your win multipliers or more. However, there is a downside to the free spins.

Even though the scene changes from ice to hot, these free spins don’t always payout hot themselves.

In fact the few times we’ve triggered them naturally and bought them we didn’t make over 100x our bet. The most being just 75x our bet.

Disappointing to say the least.

Review Conclusion: Volatile Vikings

Relax Gaming have created a good looking viking-themed slot.

Unfortunately, even though the way it pays like scatter pays is a good nice change to the usual paylines or cluster pays slots it lacks thrills.

The multiplier reveal feature doesn’t show up often in the main game and the free spins rarely payout the big bucks. 75x your bet is good if you’ve triggered them within the game, but if you’ve used the buy bonus where the RTP of this game actually increases from 96.23% up to 97% that won’t even get you your bet back.

Winning when gambling online isn’t a guarantee, the excitement comes in the thrill of the chase. Unfortunately when you know that the chase more often than not doesn’t reward it looses a little of that excitement.

That’s not to say that the Volatilie Vikings slot is a bad game, cause it’s not, it looks good, and has a few good features, but for us lacks the possibility of that big win.

That’s what you get when you play high variance slots online.

Don’t take our word for it, go play for real or in demo mode at one of our recommended Relax Gaming casinos and see if the luck of the viking gods is on your side.
