Pillars of Asgard

There’s a lot to take in the first time you open up the screen here. Luckily, like most slots, all of the gaming is automated, which means you can just spin the reels and get on with it.

However:

If you want to know WHAT and HOW you are gaming it’s better to read on and understand what this slot is all about.

The reels offer an expanded gaming area, with 6 reels of 4 symbols each. These can further expand if luck is on your side. Like in most cases…

…here too a somewhat different payout system is in use: NO pay-lines, rather megaways.

Special features add a lot more action and movement, and you definitely need to find out how those play out to get to the big wins.

Theme

Asgard, the eternal realm of Vikings, is the setting for this game developed by NextGen. The usual playing card ranks have received a facelift, now resembling runes more than their original inspiration.

There’s a ton of other symbols that draw inspiration from mythology and symbolism, though all you need to know is that they pay out more.

The sound effects are quite peculiar, adding a bit more mysticism to the game.

Though there are other Viking slots out there, not many go as far with the theme as this slot.

Betting Options and Functions

The game employs the 4096 ways to win the system. This means that symbols need to connect through adjacent hexes, with no need for the help of pay-lines.

As long as enough matching symbols show up you have a win in your hands! However, due to such a multitude of ways, this also means that most payouts are very small.

What you are looking for is as many matching symbols dropping on the same reels as possible, as this will result in multiple wins, which builds up into massive pots. The other qualities of this game, such as the interface, are completely modern. Even with the extended reels, the game fits nicely on mobile screens.

Features

Onto the features! Perhaps the most interesting part of this game…

First off, the wilds also work as multipliers. The more wilds the higher the win multiplier, and the more win combinations you are going to land. This goes as high as ten times the original prizes.

The reel rise feature can apparently result in over one million different pay-ways, though we are yet to witness that personally. This happens through bonus games, which are activated via scatters (the number of scatters can lead to up to four extra symbol positions per reel at the start). Each scatter landing during the extra spins will result in one extra symbol on that reel, up to a maximum of ten symbols.

When any reel reaches ten symbols you are automatically awarded five extra spins to take advantage of this. All extra scatters landing after this are transformed into wilds. When all reels reach the maximum height one of the reels is turned into a stacked wild.

Our Take

This is a game of high stakes and high volatility.

The special features take the action to a whole new height, with chances to land such win combinations that you will be covered in a mountain of coins. This NextGen slot is a must-try, even if in demo mode!
