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

Introduction 

The Viking Smash slot is a volatile game from Stakelogic that is played out across 5 reels and offers 243 different ways to win. Land a pair of Viking warriors on either end of the reels and enjoy walking wild respins. If these warriors from different clans clash on the same row in the centre of reels, you will trigger the slot’s bonus rounds and walking wilds could land anywhere. Who knew that a clan battle could be so much fun?

Graphics & Theme

This choice of Stakelogic slots has a Viking theme and the idea of two clashing clans. These form the basis of the symbols on the reels and the bonus features of the game. If you like the theme, you may also enjoy the Vikings Unleashed Megaways slot.

The specific theme of Viking Smash is Holmgang, which was a legal way to settle dispute in medieval Scandinavia. It was essentially a dual where the winner could either be declared after being the first to draw blood or the two parties could fight to the death.

This theme is carried through the game by a red-haired and blue-haired warrior, who can trigger a reel duel that, while having its origins in a bloody battle, can end up being very lucrative for you. The battles fought in the game’s bonus round can seem pretty hectic and the soundtrack adds to the epic feel of the action.

Viking Smash RTP and Variance

This is a highly volatile slotwhich can make for an exciting experience, but this may not be for everyone. It also has a relatively low RTP of 95.6%. 

 
How to Play Viking Smash

Viking Smash is pretty easy to understand but there are a few things that it could be helpful to know before you start:

1. You will need to decide before you play - or before you start a new spin - whether you want to have the Super Stake betting option in play. This will double your stake for each spin but you can benefit from a wild feature that is randomly triggered on spins that would otherwise be without a win.
2. Decide whether you want a gamble feature after each win. Turn it off in the general settings menu, accessed through the spanner tab.
3. Use the up and down arrows to decide on your bet per spin. 
4. Choose a budget and stick to it, and when the fun stops, stop!

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

The game offers a both way paying system and offers 243 ways to win. Bets start at 0.25 and go up to 125.00. Prizes are displayed in the paytable and the amounts change according to the bet level you choose. If you opt for the maximum bet, here is what you could win for five of a kind:

Viking Smash Bonus Features & Free Spins 

The Viking Smash slot has a range of different features. These include:

1. Random wild action triggered on non-winning spins (if you choose the Super Stake option). If this feature is triggered, between 2 and 6 wilds will be added to the first and fifth reels. These can replace other symbols to create winning combinations.
2. Two walking wild Viking symbols can land on the first and fifth reels and move towards the other on each respin awarded. You will get a free respin for each step they take and the feature will end if there are no more walking wilds on the reels. If 2 of the Vikings meet on a row, the bonus round will be triggered.
3. A clash of the two Viking warriors will start the free spins bonus. You will get 10 free games, along with 4 extra spins for each pair of wilds that meet on the reels. You can win 4 extra wilds in this bonus round and walking wilds could land on all of the reels, instead of just on the first and the fifth.
4. Each time you land a win, you get the chance of gambling, although you can turn this feature off if you don’t like it. If you do want to play, it is a fairly typical gamble feature, where you get to choose card colours and suits. You can double your win for picking the right colour or quadruple it if you choose the right suit. Just remember, however, that you will lose it all if you choose wrong.

Viking Smash Review

This is not the most complex game out there but it does have a strong theme and a few interesting bonus features. A major factor in whether you like this game may well come down to if you like high volatility slots. You may love the hectic excitement of the Viking clash that can lead to all sorts of wins but, be warned. You may have to wait a long time for this to arrive. 

Having said that, the pay both ways system does add to the excitement and you forget the waiting when you find yourself on a roll. In many games, the pay both ways feature can seem like a bit of a superfluous gimmick. This is not the case here however, as it really complements the theme and feel of the game.

You may also really like this game if you enjoy a free spins bonus. If Lady Luck is on your side, there can be plenty of free games on offer. In fact, the wild action arrives frequently enough to make us wonder if the Super Stake option is actually worth the credits it costs to play.
