Vikings by NetEnt Slot Review
Based on the popular TV series, this slot transports players to the savage Viking era, where characters had to rely on their cleverness to survive and had no one but the gods to answer to. Images from the TV show are used in the stunning graphics of the Vikings online game from NetEnt. The high-paying symbols on the reels are depicted as Vikings characters against a desolate, wintry setting. They are the fearless captain Ragnar Lothbrok, the shieldmaiden Lagertha, Bjorn, and Floki. The show served as an influence for the graphics and video. A chilling atmosphere is created by the snow falling from the screen's top and the presence of ravens next to the reels. You will be immediately engrossed in the Vikings world thanks to NetEnt's excellent job at doing so. Don't pass up the chance to play this big game with the show's characters and experience some thrill and fun.

Vikings Features
Hotspot Feature. The Hotspot area is situated on reel 3 in the main game. The vertical stack of 3 symbols with warrior faces land in a special Hotspot zone, and any symbols with warrior faces that remain in the play area, become the same symbols as in Hotspot. Any of the four symbols which have a warrior face on it counts as a Viking symbol. When the Hotspot Feature is triggered, both single and stacked Viking symbols on any other places change.
Scatter Pays. Scatter Pays begins when a vertical stack of 3 symbols with warrior faces shows in the Hotspot. Once a character has been changed into the same Viking symbols, the win is paid according to the paytable.
Shield Wall Feature. This feature starts in the main game and in Raid Spins if a cluster of mystery symbols that display in different places on the reels. Once they've shown up, all wins are paid.
Raid Spins. In Raid Spins, the playing area becomes larger and consists of 7 reels, 5 rows and 78,125 bet ways. If there are three Hotspots on reels 3, 4, and 5, you get seven Raid Spins. When a vertical stack of symbols with warrior's faces is shown in one or more Hotspot areas, all other symbols with warrior faces outside of the Hotspots become the same symbol as that which is shown by the full stack in the Hotspot area.

We also got access to Free Spins and there we managed to get 74 times our bet. Larger payouts were obtained through Scatter Pays and Shield Wall. For a hundred spins, we received 37 EUR. The next 100 spins gave us a maximum of 21 in the base game. We again had the good fortune to launch Raid Spins in which we received an excellent payout of 100 times our bet. For the second hundred spins, we were able to get 45.56 EUR. The last 100 spins were not so good and we only got two big wins of 20x and 23x our stake. Free Spins gave us 80 times our stake and for all three hundred spins we earned 89.94 EUR.
