Lightning Viking Review

Inspired Gaming might not belong to the industry’s powerhouses just yet, but they certainly are creative enough to deliver interesting online slots. Its playing field is quite large, featuring 6 reels, 4 rows and 50 paylines. How about the rest of the game, however?

Well, since the slot is called Lightning Viking, it probably won’t surprise you to learn that it’s all about Vikings. We like the fact that the game’s low-paying symbols look like runes, and its high-paying symbols are then all well-designed and rather intricate. Overall, Lightning Viking looks good and sounds good, even though it’s nothing cutting-edge.

The math model of Lightning Viking offers a medium volatility level, but there’s no official info about its actual jackpot. We can tell you, however, that you can jump into the action for stakes between £0.20 and £50 per spin. Unfortunately, the theoretical RTP of Lightning Viking is only 95.04%, which is almost a full percentage point below the current industry average.

Lightning Viking Slot Features

The paytable of Lightning Viking has a total of 10 pay symbols, which are split into 5 low pays, 2 mid pays, and 3 high pays.

For low pays, there are runic card ranks from Tens to Aces, and you can get up to 3x your bet for a full set of those. Then, there are horns and rings, which both pay 5x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination. Finally, there are three God symbols, and the top-paying Odin symbols pay 20x your bet for a full combo.

There are also quite a few special symbols in Lightning Viking. Namely, there are Wilds, Bonus symbols, Viking Helmet symbols and Hammer symbols. Wilds can appear on reels 2-5, and they can substitute for any of the pay symbols in winning combos.

Bonus symbols, on the other hand, are there to trigger free spins, while Viking Helmet symbols and Hammer symbols can appear only during those free spins.

Lightning Viking Slot – Free Spins Feature

If you get 3, 4, 5, or 6 Bonus symbols, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with 10, 12, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. Now – whenever you land a Wild symbol during a free spin, the given position will remain highlighted for the rest of the feature. Then, whenever you manage to land both a Viking Helmet symbol and a Hammer symbol, they will turn all highlighted positions into Wilds for a single free spin. Note that those two symbols also double as Wilds, so they don’t act as blockers.

If you then manage to highlight all 16 positions on reels 2-5, you’ll get one Lightning Spin at the end of the Free Spins feature. You’re guaranteed to land the two special free spins symbols in the Lightning Spin, so you’ll get 18 Wilds in total!

You can then also try to gamble your wins through the Gamble feature, and you can try not only to boost them, but also to trigger the Free Spins feature. It’s all very risky, though, so be careful!

And, last but not least, there’s the Spin Chance feature that’s a staple when it comes to Inspired Gaming slots. Whenever your bankroll drops below your selected bet level, you’ll get a chance to risk it all for another spin at that bet level.

Review Summary

In short, Lightning Viking is a game that does come with highly interesting free spins, but that unfortunately fails to deliver overall. It could really do with one extra bonus feature, for one, but the bigger problem comes with its disappointingly low theoretical RTP of just 95.04%.

That’s just not good enough in this day and age!

Pros

• Well-designed symbols
• Fun free spins with plenty of extra Wilds

Cons

• Could do with one extra bonus feature
• Disappointing 95.04% RTP
