Pragmatic Play puts its faith in the old gods and the new via its impressive Book of Vikings Slot Release. The bold 5×3 reel set offers 10 pay lines in a highly volatile, fjord-like environment that makes the player believe they are riding through the rough waves of a valley clad, ancient, Viking Scandinavia.
Fortune follows the brave; Book of Vikings’ high volatility can offer huge rewards if you are brave enough to go into battle with the Nordic warriors and stick at it. The Nordic Viking theme is in stark contrast to this software developer’s next slot release Fruit Party 2 coming to Pragmatic Play casinos soon!
The developers at Pragmatic Play have carried the legendary Viking theme throughout almost every aspect of this lightning fuelled slot. A backdrop of a Scandinavian fjord, with the lightning gods watching over, crashing their bolts across the sky. A typical old Norse design is spread across the reel set, with equally Nordic-like icons. During standard gameplay, you will notice a calming, middle-earth melody that is soft and soothing, but that calm feeling changes dramatically as soon as you trigger the feature game!
Take a ride on the Viking Boat and into Free Spin Feature mode, you can hear the crashing of thunder as the reels rage to your advantage. Land a big payout, and be greeted with ringing sound FX and fanfare that you would expect from a high paying Vegas slot. Of course, big wins deserve the resulting commotion, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Betting options are vast with Book of Vikings. Pragmatic Play has given incredible player power for staking options. With betting on 10 lines, you can select the desired coins per line from anywhere between 1 and 10. There are 6 coin value options to customise that range between 0.01 and 1.00. Or, you have 40, pre-set, Total Bet options where you can simply select the Total Bet, with amounts ranging from 0.10 up to 100.00. To find these staking options, simply click either the plus or minus buttons that are on either side of the big Autoplay button in the bottom right corner of the game screen, between the 4th and 5th game reel.
Book of Vikings is a 5×3, 10 paylines video slot that offers features in an instant; perfect for extreme volatility chasers. You can win big with a combination of a theoretical RTP of 96.50% and a 5000x your stake max win. The free spin feature round guarantees at least 10 free spins with the chance to add to those during feature play and min-max bets are 0.10 to 100.00 per spin depending on your currency.
Book of Vikings Gameplay & Features
Book of Vikings offers a traditional slot gaming concept. 10 pay lines make it simple to follow. A winning combination during standard gameplay must start with the leftmost reel, so reels 1 and run from left to right on consecutive/adjacent reels along a pay line. I.e., a 2 symbol win will require the alike symbols on reels 1-2, and a 3-symbol win alike symbol on reels 1-2-3, and so on. Overall, there are 10 regular symbols, and there is a minimum winning combination of just 2 is required for some of the higher paying symbols and a minimum of 3 for others. A maximum winning combination is a 5-symbol combo.
- Book of Magic: This symbol brings the Book of Vikings slot release alive. It behaves as both a ‘Wild’ and ‘Scatter’ symbol effectively substituting for any other symbol on the reels by becoming a wildcard symbol as well as having the power to trigger the Book of Vikings bonus game.
- Free Spins: Landing at least 3 Books of Magic will trigger the Free Spin Feature where you will be immediately gifted 10 free spins. Before the round begins, the book of magic is opened and the game will randomly select a symbol that will behave as an expanding icon throughout the feature mode.
- Pay Anywhere: One of the key differences in the ‘free spins bonus’ Vs the ‘base game’ is the way expanding symbols link up combinations wins. As long as 2 or 3 ‘Special Expanding Symbols’ are visible anywhere on the reels, this will result in a payout – much like landing a scatter multiplier. Therefore, if you have ‘Expanding Symbols’ on reels 1, 3 and 5 (so no symbols on reels 2 or 4 to connect them on adjacent reels) the slot still pays out for a combination win, whereas it normally wouldn’t during the standard base game.
- Re-trigger Free Spins: Spin-in 3 Books of Magic during Free Spin Feature mode and be granted an additional 10 free spins at any time during the game, meaning that there is potentially an endless number of free spins available until you reach the max win of 5000x your spin bet!
- Feature Buy: Winning is made simple through the ‘Buy Feature’ tool offered on Book of Vikings. During standard gameplay, simply select your stake, and then select the ‘Buy Free Spins’ option. The instant feature mode will come at a cost of 100x your total spin bet and launch 10 free spins.
