Review

Impressive and captivating are two words to sum up this spectacular video slot. The usual RTG 5-reel interface is re-sampled with a touch of Nordic class. The illustration behind the reels shows the tranquil blues of the sky and sea with a few traditional Viking longboats in their well renowned natural environment. The icons upon the reels are just as detailed ranging from axes, coins, chalices and pretty red-haired women. The two main symbols to look for however are the Viking (wild) and his longboat (the scatter) as they provide the best outcomes for your balance. The animation and sounds also add a great amount of realism to both the theme and the slot environment. Reel animation is smooth and supremely effective and their concurrent sounds indicate the usual wins, spins stops and drops yet create a victorious spin using the two main icons and their pictures come to life upon the reels with spectacular aplomb to really add a new level of immersion thanks to small gripping animations and impressive sound effects and music...even the free spins make the most of such devices. Just as in most of the RTG 5-reel slots you will find a ticker just above the reels to indicate the ever-accumulating total of the progressive jackpot. Though slightly distracting the thought of it only dropping at random at the end of a spin leaves the prize in limbo between your conscious and sub-conscious attentions.

Once again through such a splendid balance between slot game and gaming entertainment can RTG marvel at another of its creations. Such great prizes await any gamer that wants to try his hand at the slot whether it is through the fabulous pay combinations, a random falling progressive or a simply sublime re-spin and free-spin feature, you feel like you are never too far away from a reasonable win. Add to those aspects a fully engaging theme that encapsulates the sea-faring tribes of an era long since past and you have all the ingredients here to make this slot a classic.

Progressive Jackpot

Like many other RTG produced slots, this video slot machine has the random progressive jackpot much like CryptoLogic's Rapid Fire Jackpot. With a ticker just above the reels rapidly clocking up to some supreme values you will drool with excitement at the thought of it dropping at random at the end of any of your spins.

Wild Symbol

The Viking who only appears on the outer reels (reels 1 and 5) is the wild symbol and is arguably the most helpful of all icons possible to spin. Reveal him onto the reels and whenever possible he will substitute himself for all other icons (except the scatter longboat icon) to help produce winning pay combinations.

Scatter Symbol

The scatter symbol of the longboat can win you multiples of you entire spun bet providing you scatter more than two across the reels regardless of them being upon the same payline. Reveal 3, 4 or 5 across the reels to multiply your full wager by 2, 5 or 25 times respectively. During the free spins this winning combo stretches to just a couple of icons where spinning two will receive your full bet straight back.

Free Spins

You can be awarded ten free games providing three or more longboats have appeared from a spin. During these free games all regular payline wins are automatically doubled but not the scatter-wins which pay as mentioned above. During these free games you can trigger a re-spin feature. If you spin two or more of the scatter symbol across the reels during a free spins, the reels where they are shown are held in place with the remaining reels re-spun up to ten times. A handy device yet only scatter wins are paid through this method therefore you will be wanting to spin five longboats from the off which will grant you the top scatter prize as many times as you have free spins! Not only are these devices charismatic but listen to the captivating score that can make you feel part of this nautical nation.
