Vikings Unleashed Megaways Slot
- Another high variance slot new from Blueprint Gaming
- Up to an impressive 117,649 ways to win
- Gamble you free spins and multipliers for even bigger payouts
Vikings Unleashed Megaways slot is anther Nordic-style game based on the Vikings. We’ve seen a huge increase in the number of slots using this theme recently and while I understand the appeal, I do think it’s becoming a bit overused. The exciting appeal here though is the fact that it uses Megaways and offers up to a massive 117,649 ways to win. What’s more is that every time you get a win, the symbols that form part of the win will disappear and new ones will fall into place in what is known as a reaction and you’ll see the benefit of this below when I discuss some of the features in the game.
I have to say the design overall is actually pretty good as long as you don’t get seasick. The graphics are nice and backdrop is fun too. To get started you need to spin the reels to try and get a winning combination from left to right using the base symbols to win some instant cash or a Bonus. These base symbols are listed as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- 9 (lowest value)
- 10
- Jack
- Queen
- King or Ace
- Wizard
- Female Viking
- Big Viking
- Viking With Spear (highest value)
Vikings Unleashed Megaways Slot Bonuses and Features
Of course, Vikings Unleashed Megaways slot has a few other symbols in the game to make this more interesting as you’d probably expect. For a start, there’s the Wild symbol which substitutes for all other symbols in a winning combination apart from the Scatter symbol. There’s a Mystery symbol also which can transform into any other symbol in the game apart from the Free Spins symbol. There are 2 of these and each work in a similar way as follows:
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered, like with most games, with a number of Scatter symbols on the screen. In this case, you need 4 to trigger the Bonus which will offer you 10 free spin. However, you’ll also notice that on top of the reel there are Golden Scatter symbols available only during the Bonus which can offer you more free spins. 3 of these will give you another 5 free spins, while 4 will give you another 10 free spins. Furthermore, every silver Scatter symbol that appears will give you another 5 free spins. The most interesting aspect of this Bonus is that multipliers are also available to increase your wins. This starts at one and increases after every reaction (in other words, a winning combination).
Gamble. Before you begin the Free Spins Bonus you can choose to gamble the number of free spins you start with up to 27 free spins and/or the multiplier up to 10x. Of course, losing the bet means there is no win and the Bonus is over before it even starts.
Free Spins Unleashed Big Bet. This is an option available for you to purchase the Free Spins Bonus with either 5, 8, 10 or 12 free spins with a multiplier starting at 1x for each option for a bet of 25x, 50x, 75x and 100x, respectively. As with the regular Bonus, you will have the option to gamble at the beginning.
Conclusion
Vikings Unleashed Megaways slot is a new game from Blueprint that gives you a chance to win some very big payouts, up to 50,000x your bet or £250,000. This makes for some very exciting gameplay knowing that you could be in for such a big win. However, it has its drawbacks. Smaller wins tend to be few and far between so if that’s an issue for you, you probably want to check elsewhere like with the recently reviewed Jack In A Pot slot. The Bonuses in the game aren’t too bad but I would have liked to see another one, perhaps involving the Wild symbol in some way just to change things up a bit. You can get quite a few free spins with some decent multipliers so the Free Spins Bonus certainly isn’t bad and you do have the option to buy it of course but that won’t be for everyone. Overall, I think it’s a pretty impressive slot that certainly will appeal to those looking to win big. Let us know what you think by leaving a comment down below.
