The Viking world seems to have inspired the developers of online casino games. Slots based on this theme of Scandinavian people are perhaps not very numerous, but they often are excellent hits. Just think of Thunderstruck and Thunderstruck 2 of Microgaming or Viking's Treasure of Netent to be convinced. With Viking Age, it is the turn of Betsoft to prove to us that these warriors from the cold are a great source of inspiration for the developers.

In brief

The 5 reel slot machine Viking Age allows you to activate 1 to 30 paylines. During a game, you can win free spins, play a game or start a bonus feature called Runestone.

The betting range

Before activating the reels, it is possible to bet 1 to 5 coins per selected payline. In addition, you can change its denomination. The following values ​​are proposed: 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20 and 0.50 €/$/£. Thus, the betting range is quite rich with a smaller bet of only 0.02 €/$/£ and a max bet of 75 €/$/£.

Runestone Function

When you manage to get at least 3 symbols representing a Viking helmet, you trigger the feature called Runestone. The game then zooms in on the right pillar next to the reels. 5 symbols are released. You must click on one of them, which makes you win a random payment, win free games or trigger the bonus game.

The free spins

If you manage to get at least 3 symbols representing the Viking warrior, you win free spins. These can also be earned through the feature Runestone. Once you win free spins, a long animation begins during which two Viking warriors approach the columns surrounding the reels. They then drag a component covering them which hides multipliers. During each free spin, you can take advantage of x2, x3 or x5.

The bonus game

With at least 3 symbols representing arm wrestling, you trigger the bonus game. The latter can also be triggered through the feature Runestone. Two Viking warriors engage in some arm wrestling. You must choose one of them. The fate of the game is played with a coin. At the end of the bonus game, you receive winnings.

From a visual standpoint, Viking Age is well thought of. The chosen graphic style is slightly over the top for my taste. However, the animations are really amazing. Numerous, varied and long, they make the rounds very dynamic and alive. From this point of view, Viking Age is a hit.
