Vikings Empire Treasures Review

After a brief sojourn to a medieval kingdom in the Wild Crusade Empire Treasures slot, Playtech's partner studio Ash Gaming returns up north to the Viking territory with its new machine called Vikings Empire Treasures. The games might have similar titles, but those are basically two different games that are linked by the progressive jackpot system. Apart from that, players will benefit from instant cash prizes in the base game, as well as an exciting Free Spins round where all wins get multiplied by up to 5x.

Vikings Empire Treasures - Slot Outlook

Design-wise, there's nothing special to see here, although the Vikings Empire Treasures slot is beautifully done. It makes use of the classic Norse theme, and the reels are set in a backdrop of a seashore drenched in the dusk sunlight, and we can see a Viking Drakkar in the rear, as well as gigantic swords sticking from the ground, which is a bit weird. Anyway, the cartoon-styled graphics are pretty good, as Ash Gaming put a lot of effort into the game's outer look, and equally impressive is the ambient soundtrack that adds a final touch to the general atmosphere.

Vikings Empire Treasures Slot - Reel Screen

The actions take place across a standard 5x3 reel set producing 25 ways to play on each spin. True to the developer's style, the betting range is rather wide, and players drop in by placing bets from £0.25 to £500 per spin, which should certainly appeal to any type of punter, both high-roller and less risky one. The volatility is at the medium-high range, and the RTP varies between 93.16% and 96.35%, plus 0.99% goes towards the four progressive jackpots.

Aside from the jackpots, you can win up to 12,500x the stake on a single spin.

The symbol collection in the Vikings Empire Treasures slot includes 9 regular symbols that are split into three categories. On the lower side, we see colorful gems shaped as the classic card suits, and next are two pieces of golden Norse jewelry. Three Viking characters make up the premiums, going in ascending order from a warrior to a noble lady and then to a jarl, who looks just like Alexander Ludwig who played Bjorn in the History Channel series Vikings. Additionally, all character symbols can appear stacked on the reels to cover up to 3 symbol positions, so full grid combinations are possible.

You'll need to land at least 3 symbols adjacently on a single payline to score a payout, while the top-paying symbol pay from two-of-a-kind and more. Five-of-a-kind low and mid symbol wins are worth from 2x to 4x the stake, and the premium lot pays from 6x to 16x the stake. Finally, there's a Wild symbol included that substitutes for any other regular symbols to help you achieve wins.

Moreover, it's worth 6 times more than the top-paying symbol and also pays for two instances on a line, and you can win up to 100x your bet for five-of-a-kind.

Vikings Empire Treasures - Bonus Features

Look out for ship Bonus Symbols in the base game, which are the key two the two core features of the Vikings Empire Treasures slot. Those can land on reels 1, 2, and 3, and landing just two of them triggers the Berserker Bonus. Ship bonus symbols will transform into axes with a Pick Me icon, and you can reveal one of the following prizes:

• Cash Prize - awards an instant cash value.
• +1 in the Next Free Games - increases the Multiplier for the next bonus round by +1.

The feature can be triggered multiple times, and the Multiplier can go as high as 5x. If the Multiplier reaches a 5x value, the possible outcomes of the Berserker Bonus can be either a Cash Prize or an instant Free Games trigger. Additionally, coin symbols can appear on reels 1 and 3 during the base game to award a random cash prize whenever they land, and the higher your win multiplier is, the more cash prize symbols appear on the reels.

Landing Bonus Symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 simultaneously triggers the Free Spins feature. Players will then go to a selection screen, where they have to pick one symbol from each of two rows of 4 symbols to reveal the number of free games and the symbol to become super stacked during the bonus. During the Free Spins, all wins are multiplied by the value of the accumulated Multiplier, and if the Multiplier is 2x or greater, additional Bonus Symbols will be added to the reels for a bigger chance of a retrigger.

After the free games round is complete, the Multiplier will reset back to 1x, and coin Cash Prize symbols are replaced by Bonus Symbols. What's more interesting is that once you finish the bonus, the next 24 spins have a 50% chance of triggering another round of free games.

The Empire Treasures Jackpot feature can trigger on any base game spin at random to award one of the four progressive jackpots.

Note that the higher the bet is, the greater are your chances of triggering the jackpot bonus game. Once activated, players will proceed to a jackpot game screen made up of 20 shield icons. Picking a shield will reveal 1 of the four jackpot symbols, and that goes to the corresponding meter. Once the meter is filled, you win the respective jackpot. Jackpot seed values are the following:

• Mini Jackpot - £100.
• Minor Jackpot - £1,000.
• Major Jackpot - £10,000.
• Grand Jackpot - £200,000.
