Viking Voyage is a 5×3 Viking-themed online slot by Betsoft that has us leading our own expedition! If you succeed, you will return in triumph, with free re-spins and free spins as your prizes.
This is a medium variance game. As such, you can expect a nice balance between big wins and smaller, more frequent pays.
WHERE TO PLAY VIKING VOYAGE
Your Viking adventure awaits at Bovada online casino. The website even allows warriors from the United States to join the voyage! It is also home to many Betsoft games, giving you plenty of titles to pick from.
SLOT INFORMATION
You can bet between $0.10 and $10 on each spin. This release is played on a 5×3 board with 243 ways to win. Ways to win make it easier to form winning combinations, as there are no strict paylines to follow.
Instead, you win by finding three or more matching symbols in adjacent positions. The only additional requirement to win is to start with the leftmost reel. If these conditions are not met, the relevant cash prize is not paid.
The theoretical return to player (RTP) is 96.12%. This is slightly higher than the current industry average of 96%.
BASE GAME
Viking Voyage offers fifteen distinct icons you can find on the reels. The most notable are Viking Wilds, Raven Scatters, Long Boat bonus symbols, and the bonus buy coin.
The red-haired Viking is the most valuable icon, worth 100x your total stake for a five-of-a-kind win. The least valuable symbols are 10, J and Q. These playing card royals are worth 2x for a five-icon win. Scatters also grant a cash prize when you find three or more of them simultaneously.
FREE RE-SPIN
Wilds can appear in any position, substituting for almost all symbols. That also includes Scatters! Land a full reel Wild on any position to win a free re-spin. If another full reel Wild appears during the re-spin, the bonus will be played again. If free spins and a re-spin are activated simultaneously, the re-spin will be played first. That said, even if you get two full reel Wilds, only one re-spin will be played.
FREE SPINS
Land the Long Boat bonus icon on reels one and five to win ten free spins. You can retrigger the special feature by getting the bonus symbols in the first and fifth reel during free spins. All wins are multiplied by 3x during free spins, increasing your odds of winning.
BONUS BUY
Free spins can be bought using the bonus buy special feature. Bonus Buy awards twelve free spins for 70x your total stake. The cost of bonus buy can be decreased when a bonus buy coin appears on the board. If the cost of the buy feature is reduced to zero, free spins are granted automatically.
VERDICT
To this day, this slot remains one of the best Viking-themed games Betsoft has produced. The visuals are top-notch, as are the animations.
However, what really won us over were the special features. Free spins and re-spins are standard, but they get the job done. We definitely recommend trying this medium variance release.
