Viking Pays

The mighty Vikings were fearless warriors, they didn’t really like quiet living and were always looking for a new shore to explore and a new city to raid. Their ships were probably more important than their homes, as they roamed the seas looking for riches. 

The game creators at Inspired Gaming have decided to give you a place on such a ship in Viking Pays, a video slot that is filled with action and adventure. 

Theme

The reels are placed inside a sturdy wooden frame, while behind them we can see a few viking ships waiting for their sailors. The symbols are all related to viking culture, even the usual playing card royals or suits were replaced by wooden shields with drawings on them. 

The graphics are not among the most complex, but the symbols are nice and crisp and the screen looks cool overall. The background music is very good, making you feel like you are preparing for an adventure that is going to take you to distant shores. 

Betting Options and Functions

This game is played on a standard grid with 5 reels and 3 rows, which offer 243 ways to win. At least three matching symbols on adjacent reels are needed to form a winning combination, but these are valid only if they start on the leftmost edge of the grid. 

The betting range should be wide enough to cover any type of pocket, the minimum stake is just 20 pence while the most you can bet on a single spin is 20 pounds. This game has medium volatility, while the return to player percentage is 95.58. 

Features

The Viking Warrior symbol is one of the most impressive in this game, that bearded guy looks like he means business! In fact, he is the Wild and his power to replace any of the other symbols will help you grab some prizes. 

But that’s not all, he will be featuring heavily in the Free Spins rounds as well! 

Actually, the free spins have a different name in this title, they are called Re-Life Spins. The feature will be triggered whenever you get three or more bonus symbols on the reels, but you get lives instead of spins. 

You start the round with 3 lives and a multiplier between x2 and x5, depending on how many bonus symbols you had when triggering the feature. 

Every spin takes away one of the lives, but if that spin is a winning one the lives counter is reset to 3 and the multiplier goes up to the next level. 

When you get down to the last life the mighty warrior comes to the rescue, transforming that last spin into a Life Saver Spin. The warrior will be seen in his full splendor, covering the entire central reel and acting as Wild. 

That will give you a good chance of landing a winning combo and resetting the life counter back to 3! In fact, you can end up enjoying dozens of free spins thanks to that feature! 

Conclusion

Viking Pays is a very entertaining video slot from software company Inspired Gaming, it doesn’t have the most eye-catching graphics and animations but it does look clean while the features add another dimension to the gameplay. 

The free spins that you can enjoy in this game are extremely exciting, you will most likely get down to that last life quite a few times but the warrior will save you quite often as well. Overall, this game is definitely worth playing thanks to the Re-Life Spins and Life Saver Spin.
