Viking Runes

If you’re into the ancient rune carvings from the fearless, brave warriors known as the Vikings then, you might want to stick around for a while because we’re about to review the Viking Runes online slot from TrueLab Games.

The decoding becomes even harder once you find out that the grid features 81 symbols with each spin.

Theme and Symbols

Viking Runes is an online video slot powered by TrueLab Games software developer and it comes with a Viking-theme.

The mighty Viking and his warhammer greet you as soon as you start the game. He’s task is to watch over the grid and occasionally strike down some Lightning Wilds as we’re about to find out. The background is no less impressive than the viking himself.

It’s a cold winter's night as the sky is colored with an event known as the Aurora Borealis. There are huge stones laying on the ground and if you look close enough, you might even notice the faces on them.

The pay table is designed solely out of various runes that differ in color and markings. There are 3 low paying, 4 medium and finally 2 premium runes that have blue and red gems engraved on them.

There are 2 Wild Symbols in this online edition and while the first one is the regular wild, substituting for all other icons bar the Lighting Wild, the second Wild will play an important role when it comes to the features.

Betting Options and Features

Viking Runes online slot is played across 9 reels, each 9 symbols tall and comes with the cluster pay system. Whenever you manage to match 6 or more icons you form a winning cluster.

The winning symbols then explode and leave room for new ones to fill the gaps. Theoretically, this can go on for as long as you are forming winning clusters. The title is of high variance and has the hit frequency of 31,8% while the best odds are 96,20%.

The betting range goes from £0,40 to £40,00 per spin and the highest payout available is 25,000x the stake.

The Lighting Wilds are positioned to the right side of the grid and are triggered with each winning cascade. You can get all 4 Lighting Wilds in a single successful cascade if you are lucky enough.

Each of the Lighting Wilds has different modifiers to make the gameplay more exciting. For example, the Runic Shuffle modifier reshuffles the symbols on a non-winning spin and guarantees one or two winning clusters.

The Spell of Ancestors transforms some of the low pays into the high paying symbols while the Viking Sorcery adds a random number of Wilds onto the grid ( 3 - 9 ).

Lastly, 5 successful winning clusters trigger the Free Spins feature with 6 spins free of charge coming your way. What is more, all of the 4 Lighting Wilds are present here and you’ll also benefit from an increasing multiplier of x1 for each successful cascade.

Viking Runes is a highly enjoyable and entertaining online video slot with a ginormous layout. The cascading wins feature only makes this online title even more amazing and we have to say that TrueLab Games did an amazing job.
