North Guardians, released on 28/04/2022 is Pragmatic Play's new North Mythology-themed slot with Wild Patterns, but you won't see the Wild Pattern modifier as often as in the previous slot, making the base game a bit more boring and repetitive. But the quality audiovisuals and fast-paced turbo spins help in this regard, and the lucrative bonus round is triggered more often in this slot. Check out our full review of this exciting slot machine and try out its demo right on this page to see what it has to offer!

How to Play

The 5-reel, 5-row playing field provides you with 50 lines to create pay combinations and a combo will be created when 3 to 5 premium or low-paying symbols land on 1 of the lines. They must land on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel to trigger a payout, except for Free Spins (Scatter) symbols as they pay anywhere on the playing field.

To start this Norwegian adventure all you need is:

  • Open North Guardians at your chosen casino
  • Check out the values of the symbols
  • Read the rules of bonus features
  • Select a bet: from €0.5 to €100
  • Hit the spin or autoplay button!

North Guardians RTP and Volatility

8 
The slot features high volatility and 96.38% RTP during the base game.
A long and dangerous adventure through the Norwegian cold lands awaits you as this slot comes with high volatility. Here prize combinations and bonus features are not triggered very often, but the payout range varies from medium to very high. The theoretical return is 96.38% by default during the base game and 96.29% during the Buy Free Spins feature but you can also get a version of the game with 95.46% or 94.34% RTP during the base game, according to the information from the provider, depending on which casino you play at.

Theme

9 

A large playing field made of wood with an additional stone reel takes up almost the entire screen space, but from behind you can still see a snowy area with wooden houses dimly lit by lit torches. The game looks good the way it is but we would like to see more in the background or at least some kind of animated character. On the loading screen, we saw an obese Viking with a massive stone sledgehammer and thought it would be interesting to have him as an animated companion.

Viking, pink-haired Viking woman, coin, horn, shield, and ax are premium symbols while runes are low-paying icons. Also in the paytable there is an inscription "Free Spins" and a statue of a Viking with the inscription "Wild" - this is a special Free Spins and Wild symbol, respectively.

Bonus Rounds & Free Spins

8 

Wild Patterns

You can notice 2 parts of the so-called "marker rectangle" that move under the regular symbols to random positions per spin. When both halves of the marker rectangle come together, the wheel on the right side of the playing field will start to spin. This is a Wild Pattern Wheel that can either level up and spin again on the next level or provide a Wild Pattern. This will trigger the corresponding Wild Pattern anywhere on the playing field, and the 5 possible levels will progressively award more and more Wilds. The best level 5 template fills the entire playing field with Wild symbols!

Free Spins

As soon as 3, 4, or 5 special Scatter symbols land, the slot machine will trigger Free Spins. You will receive a Scatter prize and Free Spins will begin. The Wild Pattern Wheel is active on every free spin and does not reset when you level it up. The slot triggers 3, 2, and 1 extra free spins for wheel levels 2, 3-4, and 5 respectively.

Buy Free Spins

The Buy Free Spins round is worth 100x the bet and after you buy it the RTP will decrease by a negligible amount and will be 96.29%.

Max Win

8.6 
Win up to 5,000x the bet.
The maximum prize per spin that might be achieved is 5,000x the bet and this is a good max win potential. Yeah, max win probability is terrible but the max win is good enough.

Overall Rating

8.4
We can consider this new slot as the male equivalent of Pragmatic Play's Eye of Cleopatra since the Wild Pattern feature plays a major role in both of these slots. However, in this title, the base game is more like a routine, as Wild Patterns often don't have much impact here unless you level up the Wheel. However, higher payouts are theoretically possible and we like the Wild Pattern Wheel in this slot more than the slightly odd-looking device in the previous one, and things heat up considerably when you manage to level up the Wheel to the last or penultimate level. Everything is enhanced in the Free Spins as a random Wild Pattern is created for every free spin and the Wheel does not reset when you level it up!

Epic slot! Love that Nordic Gods theme, epic soundtrack and just the way it looks and plays.
As for gameplay !!! Attenion !!! Extremely HIGH VARIANCE! The base game is basically empty, and you badly need that Wild pattern wheel. Without pattern even x10 is rare.
FS round has a lot of upside because of the wilds and a chance to win more free games. Bet even free games are extremely volatile. You can wait for the FS for 200+ spins and then win nothing.
Epic & Tricky

I am not going to lie, Northern / Viking them is certainly one of my favorite. In this slot there is a feature that increases the level of the wheel, that creates various wilds, depending on where the wheel will stop. It certainly has great potential, that if you are lucky enough to upgrade that wheel level once you get into the bonus game, awarding you with extra spins upon leveling up. Slot is designed quite nice, with relaxing background music. Will keep hunting that massive win. Good slot.
