Vikings Journey Review

With the Vikings Journey slot, developer Red Rake once again takes players to Scandinavia in search of big wins. Although we've seen pretty much everything in the Viking niche, Vikings Journey has a lot for players to offer in terms of the gameplay, as it comes packed with two respins features and an exciting bonus game offering a jackpot up to 1,000x the bet.

At first sight, the Vikings Journey slot doesn't look too hopeful with somewhat simple and dated graphics. Should you get past the basic looks, however, the gameplay lurking beneath is pretty cosmic. Anyway, the actions take place somewhere on the seas, with vast blue waters and majestic snow-covered mountains producing the backdrop to the reels, and dominating the view is a large 5x4 grid with 178 ways to play on each spin.

Vikings Journey Slot - Reel Screen

Playable on any device, the slot comes with a betting range of €0.1 to €100 per spin, which should appeal to everyone. The volatility is in the medium range, so wins should occur fairly often. Speaking of wins, players can hope for payouts of up to 1,000x the stake on a single spin here, which is pretty low. The RTP is equally unimpressive, clocking in at 95.4%, which is lower than the average level.

Three or more matching symbols landing adjacently on the reels starting from the leftmost create a winning combination.

As we head over to the paytable, we see familiar Viking symbols that are slit into two categories. The pay symbols start at the lower end with 3 different shields paying 1x your bet for combinations of five, and next are horns, axes, and ships, worth 2x your bet for 5-of-a-kind wins. There are also Wild symbols included, which substitute for any other regular symbols in combinations to help you achieve wins, plus they pay up to 5x the bet for line wins.

Vikings Journey Slot Features

Vikings Journey Slot - Respins

The Viking symbol with a silver frame is a special Wild symbol that can appear only on reel 5. Whenever it lands, it triggers the respins feature and moves by one position to the left with each respin until it reaches the leftmost reel.

The King symbol is a non-winning symbol that can appear anywhere on the reels, and when 3 or more appear in view simultaneously, they lock in place and award a respin. The respins continue until there are no more new Kings in view.

If a Viking and a King land simultaneously on the grid, the Viking will move to the king's position vertically and then horizontally, leaving Wilds in his path.

Once the Viking reaches the King, he will attack and replace him. However, if there is more than one Viking in view, only one of them will be triggered.

Finally, King symbols that have not been attacked contribute to the collection meter sitting to the left. Each symbol adds a fixed percentage of the placed bet to the progress bar, and filling the bar entirely triggers The King’s Coins bonus game played on special reels consisting only of coins with random cash values and Vikings.

Vikings Journey Slot - Bonus Game

The bonus starts with 3 fixed coins and 3 respins. Each additional coin that lands on the reels also turns sticky, as well as resets the free spins counter back to 3. If a Viking symbol lands on the reels, it will multiply the value of up to 3 random coins and then disappear. If you manage to fill the entire grid with coin symbols, you will receive the Grand Jackpot prize worth 1,000x the bet.

Review Summary

All said and done, Vikings Journey is definitely an enjoyable slot with quite a few tricks to keep players hooked. You won't have a dull moment during the gameplay with all those different features, and should you trigger one of those, your chances of landing a tasty big win raise significantly. However, it's not all rosy when it comes to the math model, which offers quite a low max win and a lower-than-average RTP.

With that being said, Vikings Journey won't appeal to everyone, but those who can't get enough of the Vikings genre will surely find enough entertainment here.
