Viking Rush Game for Free – Demo & Review

In terms of visual interface and animations, the slot is brighter and smoother than similar games on the topic, such as the older Brave Viking by BGaming or the newer release, Viking Fall, by Blueprint Gaming. At the same time, its RTP of 95.73% is around average but lower than in slots like Vikings Go Berzerk by Yggdrasil (96%) or Book of Vikings by Pragmatic Play (96.5%).

In terms of the max win, this release is not among the leaders either: the top reward caps at 1,000x the bet. This is not the lowest possible multiplier; however, there are slots, such as Gates of Valhalla by Pragmatic Play, with a 10,000x bet multiplier.

The game’s breathtaking visual design got us hooked right after the launch, but it was also about where the excitement halted. It is hard to create an original and unseen-before slot in the Viking category, and it looks like this game didn’t even shoot its shot. The bonuses are plain and uninteresting, special symbols land quite rarely, which makes the gameplay seem monotonous, and in general, the in-game mechanics lack diversity.

The slot is not very abundant in special features, offering a standard combination of bonus spins, Scatters, Wilds, and multiplier symbols, as well as the Bonus Buy option. The Free spins round is triggered whenever you land at least 4 Viking Scatters on the reels: for this, you will get nine free spins that can be re-triggered.

Waiting for the Scatters to land naturally can take quite a long time. However, there’s an option to skip the wait by clicking on the Bonus Buy option. Note that the price of the Bonus Buy feature directly depends on your current bet value.

There are special Gold Coin symbols that can appear on the grid and carry multiplier values from x1 to x5. If you manage to land a winning combo of symbols right after landing a multiplier symbol, your reward for the round will be increased by a corresponding value. The slot has a Tumble mechanic, meaning that, once you form a winning combo, the symbols that participated in it fall from the reels, creating room for new possible combinations.

The slot’s paytable shows four standard, low-paying card value symbols (from J to A). Then, there are three medium-paying symbols, showing different attributes of the Vikings. The highest-paying standard symbol is a Viking’s helmet, which pays up to 6x your bet for combos from 10 to 30. As for the specials, there are double axe Wilds, which substitute for all regular symbols on the reels. Viking Scatters, in turn, trigger nine free spins for combinations of at least four. Finally, multiplier symbols look like gold coins. They can appear on the grid randomly, bearing values from 1x to 5x, and increase your prize from the next combo, but only if it’s consecutive (landed right after the multiplier coin).
