Vikings seem to be ever so popular theme among game providers, but we are not complaining about that! Viking Runes from Yggdrasil wraps up the Norse-mythology theme in a huge 9×9 playfield with total of 81 symbols. The symbols itself are represented by, you guessed it, viking rune stones of course!
Overview
The game features Cascading Reels, which means that each time you win your winning cluster of symbols is removed from the playfield and new symbols are dropped in until new win clusters are not generated anymore. There is also two kinds of wilds: your regular wild symbols which can replace any other symbol on a winning cluster and Lightning Wilds, which are the four big symbols on the right side below the free spins text.
The Lightning Wilds are important part of the gameplay, as they fly to a random spot on your playarea one by one after each winning cascade where new symbols are dropped. Once the wild has taken its place in your playarea, it will stay there for as long as the cascades continue and will be removed only on next paid spin. If you reach five cascading wins in a row you will activate the Free Spin feature at the top of the Lightning Wilds, giving you 6 Free Spins. During the Free Spin feature all your Lightning Wilds are active and they move to a new random position after each cascading win. On top of that, each time Lightning Wild is part of your winning cluster, it adds +1 to your win multiplier!
There is also three features which can trigger randomly both during the base game and Free Spin feature. Only one of the features can be active during one spin or cascading sequence. Here are the different possibilities:
Runic Shuffle: Can activate randomly on a losing spin to reshuffle your rune symbols for a guaranteed win.
Spell of Ancestor: Can activate randomly at the end of cascading sequence, transforms all low-value symbols into one higher-value symbol.
Viking Sorcery: Can activate randomly at the end of cascading sequence, adds 3-9 wilds.
Chanz verdict
This is really entertaining as there is lot happening on the screen all the time. The different random features keep even the base game rather interesting while trying to activate that Free Spin bonus. That is worth the wait, as when all those Lighning Wilds happen to really line up you could be looking at an absolutely massive 25,000x win which is the maximum payout of the game. The big win potential is definitely there! Try it out yourself at Chanz.com!
