Viking Gold Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Fresh from the land of the ice and snow with the midnight sun where the hot springs blow comes Viking Gold, a five-reel, three-row online slot with 20 always-on paylines.

Match symbols such as a Viking chief, dragons, warriors and other Norse-related items. 

Each winning spin comes with the chance to win repeatedly with crumbles taking out winning symbols and a gamble feature offering you the opportunity to double your winnings.

Theme and Graphics

With its Viking theme, there was always an opportunity for Viking Gold to end up on the gritty side, but actually the cartoon-style graphics provide an interesting counterpoint.

The reels aren't actually reels, with symbols looking like they have been carved into stone runes which fall from the bottom of the game grid to be replaced from above. There is no spinning involved, but everything is animated smoothly.

Winning symbols flash gold briefly before disappearing to be replaced from above.

The cartoon-style graphics of this title really are top notch!

Viking Gold RTP and Variance

Viking Gold has a long-term average RTP of 96%, putting it bang on the average rate for games of this type. The low to medium volatility should deliver well-balanced gameplay with plenty of low-value wins along the way. There will be some larger wins to play for, but these do not come along very often.

 
How to Play Viking Gold

1. It is always a good idea to take a look at the paytable when you start playing a new game for the first time. In Viking Gold, the paytable is found by clicking the three-line menu at the top left of the screen, then clicking the 'i' icon which appears in the menu. Once in the paytable, you can find out the pattern of paylines, win amounts payable as well as information about bonus features and the jackpot.
2. Setting your bet also happens from within the three-line menu. The bet is displayed in the centre of the screen, flanked by - and + buttons. Clicking these buttons will cycle through the available total bet options.
3. To spin the reels, click the green spin button directly to the right of the second row of the grid.
4. If you want to spin multiple times without needing to click, the auto button is to the bottom right of the game menu. The auto menu has a range of different options, including how many spins that can be set off automatically - up to 100. There are also options available to stop the auto spins if a single win exceeds a certain amount or overall credits increase or decrease by too much.
5. Please play Viking Gold responsibly by setting yourself a sensible budget for each play session and sticking to it! Only play with money that you can afford, and don't be tempted to chase losses. Remember, when the fun stops, stop!

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

Bets in Viking Gold range from 0.20 per spin to 5000.00 per spin, making this title a game which will suit players with many different budgets. There is, however, a lack of bet options within this range, making some of the jumps between bet levels pretty big!

Matching 5 of the Viking king on a valid payline returns 2,500x the line bet

Matching 5 of the dragon symbol on a valid payline returns 1,000x the line bet

Matching 5x the infinity symbol on a valid payline returns 500x the line bet

Matching 5x the Viking with a horned helmet on a valid payline returns 200x the line bet

Matching 5x the vial of potion on a valid payline returns 100x the line bet

Matching 5x any of the other symbols on a valid payline returns between 75 and 50x the line bet

Viking Gold Bonus Features

Matching three of the scatter dragon symbols anywhere on the reels activates the free spins feature. This feature begins with 10 free spins that can be retriggered by landing another three scatters on the reels. During free spins, wins are multiplied by 3x.

During any winning spin, winning symbols will crumble, and additional symbols fall to take their place. If these new symbols create a winning combination, the winnings are subject to a multiplier. Win four times on the same spin to have your winnings multiplied by five. 

Following each winning spin, you can double your winnings by gambling the amount won on the turn of the card. Correctly predicting that the card is red or black will double your money. Getting it wrong loses the amount risked.

The jackpots displayed in the bottom left of the screen can be won during any spin. The progressive jackpot increases with the bet level, as does your chance of landing this jackpot.
