Age of Vikings - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

The game is highly impressive, set on 50 paylines which you can change as you want. As soon as you start spinning the reels, you will be taking on ruthless Nordic fighters with fast-paced action. This game, as the name would suggest, is all about Viking warriors, and you’ll see these characters dominating the screen.

The artwork is pretty impressive, and the game is packed with different bonuses. During gameplay players will have the opportunity to get up to 25 free spins, which we’ll talk about more later on. The bonus features also mean there are various ways you can receive payouts from the game.

Overall Slot Theme

Overall the game is beautifully detailed, much like the Vikings Unleashed Megaways slot. The reels are set on a wooden wall complete with Viking graffiti. You will also see various decorations placed around the reels too. All of the traditional playing card symbols have been redesigned to match the theme, looking like swords and other items, each with their own inscription carved into it.

RTP & Volatility

Age of Vikings has an RTP of 95.98%, which is quite poor for an online slot. The average for online slots is closer to 97%, so you may not get quite as much bang for your buck with this game. It also has medium volatility, so you’ll see wins coming in relatively often, but they won’t be for large amounts of money.

How to Play Age of Vikings

Here is a quick guide on the controls featured in Age of Vikings that can help you to get started playing.

1.    At the bottom of the screen, you will be able to set your denomination for each coin. Use the plus and minus symbols on either side to adjust it.
2.    Next to the denomination is the line selector, where you can adjust how many lines you play on.
3.    Then there’s the bet adjuster, where you choose how many coins will be used per payline.
4.    Click the max bet button to set all of the paylines to the maximum number of coins per spin.
5.    Click the play symbol to get the reels spinning. They will continue to spin automatically until you click the same button again, which will have changed to a stop icon.

Paytable Wins & Bet Sizes

You can start betting on the reels for as little as 0.01 per spin. With all 50 paylines in action the maximum bet amount is 2000.

Looking at the paytable, it’s clear to see that you land wins from matching symbols across the paylines starting from the left side. The playing card symbols, which include the 9, 10, J and Q icons, are worth a 10x, 20x and 100x multiplier for landing three, four or five on the reels. The K and A will give you a 150x multiplier for landing five in a row.

Next is the treasure chest filled with gold, worth a maximum of 250x your line stake. The crossed axes give out a 300x multiplier for five in a row, while the long ship returns a 400x multiplier. The hammer can give you a 50x, 250x or a 500x multiplier, depending on how many reels you can get it to stop on. The Viking with the blue war paint is worth a huge 1000x multiplier if you manage to hit five.

A Viking who looks like Thor acts as the wild for this game. The wild isn’t worth anything if you land multiple ones on the reels. You also can’t land one on the first reel.

Bonuses & Free Spins

Scatter symbols are represented by the Gates of Valhalla in Age of Vikings, and you only need to land two on the reels to receive a 50x multiplier on your stake. Getting three, four or five scatters on the reels will reward you with a 100x, 250x or 500x multiplier. Something unique about the scatters is that they give you a respin to start with followed by a free spins round.

When you land two, three or four of the scatter symbols the reels that don’t contain any scatters will spin again. Any wins that you get from a respin will then be doubled. It’s a great feature that allows you to have a second go at landing more scatters and getting better prizes.

Then the free spins bonus round begins. Having three scatters means you will receive 10 free spins, and all wins during these spins are multiplied by four. Four scatters will give you 15 bonus games with a 5x multiplier. Five scatters are the best by far, giving out 20 free spins and wins being multiplied by six.

The entire free spins feature can be retriggered by landing three or more of the scatter icons in one single spin. The new round will begin straight after the current one has ended.

Landing five of the bonus icons, which are represented by a closed treasure chest, on any payline means you unlock a side game. In this side game you will have to click on the chests presented and see what prize is inside. The higher your stake is the better the prizes will be.

Our Verdict

There are plenty of bonus rounds and stunning design features to keep even the most experienced player entertained in Age of Vikings. We would recommend this slot to anyone who is a fan of Nordic-themed games.
