Skadi was a Norse goddess who lived in the snowy mountains. She travelled to Asgard to avenge the killing of her father and was offered the god Njörd as a husband in compensation. However, some tales relate that she later married Odin and bore his children. Coming from the mountains, Skadi is associated with hunting, skis and snowshoes.

The slot is silent when idle but once the reels are spun an atmospheric soundtrack strikes up and the sound effects to wins and the appearance of the wild and bonus symbols are magical.

Skadi's Hunt Review

Skadi's Hunt has some great artwork, animations and sounds, and the chance to choose the number of free spins and multiplier for the bonus is a great addition to the bonus feature. The lack of a fast or turbo spin was disappointing and gameplay was no faster in autoplay mode than when playing manually. 

Without knowing the volatility, it's difficult to tell how frequently the bonus feature and the possibility of retriggers might happen but we weren't able to trigger a single free spins feature during our test run. Nevertheless, it was good to see a less likely mythological figure featured in a slot, and if you're looking for more unusual themes, Foxium's Cossacks The Wild Hunt slot is another interesting game to explore.
