Introduction

Slot Mill is a Swedish game developer based in Stockholm. The people behind Slot Mill are enthusiasts as well as experts, which means that Slot Mill demo slots are well-designed. They also tend to offer RTPs at the higher side of average, which gives you a decent return even if you are only playing demo slots. This is a fairly lavish production that compares favourably with similarly themed games like the Vikings slot from NetEnt. 

Viking’s Creed has a conventional 5-reel, 3-column grid and 20 fixed paylines. The minimum bet level is 0.20 and the maximum is 50. There are 10 regular symbols: the Hero, the Heroine, the Long Ship, the Sword, the Shield and the 5 highest-value playing cards. The wild is a fearsome warrior, and the scatter is a crow.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack

This is a splendidly detailed and handsomely drawn game. The rocky shoreline and misty seas that form the background are very atmospheric and remain partly visible through the semi-opaque reels. The icons themselves are intricately illustrated with carefully judged individual animations. The soundtrack consists of a suitably epic minor-key music track, along with rumbling storm clouds and crashes of thunder. Hit a big win and the screen ignites and coins cascade towards you in glistening 3D. It's quite impressive.

Viking’s Creed bonus features

Walking Wild

When a wild symbol lands, a respin is awarded. During the respin, the wild moves one reel to the left and another respin occurs. This continues as long as a wild remains present. The wild substitutes for all symbols except scatters. Wild symbol substitution pays the highest possible winning combination. The walking wild appears in the base game and free spins round. 

Wild Berserk

The wild berserk appears at random in the base game, giving you up to 5 walking wilds. Free spins are not triggered during this feature.

Free Spins

Getting 3 or more scatters will activate 6 free spins. Scatter symbols do not take part. Wilds expand to cover the entire reel. When a wild appears, the free spins feature is paused and the walking wild feature activates. If additional walking wilds appear during respins, the respins continue until the last walking wild has reached the leftmost reel, and the spin that follows does not contain any wilds. When the walking wild feature ends, the paused free spins game resumes. Free spins are played at the same bet level as the triggering game.

Viking's Creed Review: our verdict

This is a game that holds its own against other Viking-themed games. Slot Mill have committed themselves to a serious rendition of the subject, and everything is well-designed towards that end. With excellent graphics, even the standard base game is interesting enough to keep you holding on for the special features, which notch up the drama and action and offer some good potential wins. The Walking Wild feature is particularly entertaining as you follow the progress of the wilds across the reels. Solid stuff.
