It\u2019s got to be the darkest of the three, with the fearsome, bulging leads (this assessment includes the female viking) descending into the depths of hell to battle it out with fiery demons. The premise is the stuff that great movies are made of, but is it the right game for players in New Zealand? This review takes a closer look at all the details so you can make an informed decision before you go into battle with these brutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Highlights<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 reels and 25 paylines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two-level Bonus Game<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very High Volatility\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maximum prize of over 3,000 x the bet<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RTP of 96.10%<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vikings go to Hell Theme and Background<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The title hints at two central parts of the game\u2019s theme. You have your Vikings (complete with bared teeth and ropey muscles) and you have Hell (where these Nordic imports have found themselves). Upon launching the game you\u2019ll be treated to an optional intro video. It\u2019s an incredible piece of animation that really fuels your engagement with the theme. The game is devised around battles between Vikings and demons. You can watch these play out to win rewards and unlock features (but more on this below).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symbols across the 5 reels are all originally crafted, there isn\u2019t a single card suit or royal in sight. Instead you\u2019ll be greeted by 4 low value symbols in the form of a sword, a hammer, an axe, and a bow and arrow. The high paying symbols are the Vikings themselves. The three males have a red, brown and grey beard, and the fourth is the only female. Making winning combinations with these warriors will generate the highest base game wins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vikings go to Hell Pros<\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beautifully crafted graphics and immersive theme<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Treasure Chest feature offers great instant rewards<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s fast paced, exciting and potentially very rewarding<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vikings Go To Hell Cons<\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gameplay can appear confusing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very High Volatility means the bonus rounds won\u2019t come around too often<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sticky Wilds are a little tough to trigger<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gameplay and Special Features on Vikings go to Hell<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These vikings made their way into hell fully equipped with razor sharp special features. The gameplay is exciting throughout, with a variety of bonus rounds that can be triggered on every spin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rage Collection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All new players receive 150 rage points for 1 Viking. Collecting further\u00a0 rage points is a simple matter of spinning. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 rage point for every Wild attained during a battle with a regular demon, The Lord of Chains or Lucifix. You\u2019ll get to do battle if 2 or more Free Spin symbols land on the reels.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">60 rage points for 1 Viking in a base game treasure chest.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">60 rage points for all 4 Vikings in a base game treasure chest.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Points will help you to trigger the Berzerk Free Spins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Berzerk Free Spins\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are exactly the same as the Level 1 Free Spins (see below), except only 7 spins can be awarded. Instead of being triggered by free Spins symbols, players need to collect 300 rage points (see above) on one Viking. The Viking that triggered Berzerk Free Spins always wins against the regular demon but does not collect rage points. What\u2019s interesting is the changeable coin value for these spins, which is calculated on the average of all spins where rage points were collected.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respins<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respins are triggered any time 2 Free Spin symbols land on the reels in the base game. Respins can be retriggered by landing 2 more Free Spin symbols. All Wilds on the reels become sticky during the respins.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Treasure Chest<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a base game feature. The Treasure Chest can only appear on the 5th Reel and can award an Epic Table or a Good Tablet like so:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Epic Tablet<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12 or 16 Free Spins (this prize is removed if you land 3+ Free Spin symbols in the same spin)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">60 rage points for all Vikings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">600 to 1200 coins<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Good Tablet<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 Free Spins (this prize is removed if you land 3+ Free Spin symbols in the same spin)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">60 rage points for one Viking at random<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">150 to 300 coins<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two Levels of Free Spins<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who doesn\u2019t love a rewarding Free Spins round? Vikings go to Hell is packing two different ones to really make it worth your while. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Level 1<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Land 3 Free Spin symbols or earn a Free Spin trigger in the Treasure Chest feature (read above) to activate this round. You\u2019ll kick things off with 7 Free Spins, 12 Free Spins or 16 Free Spins for 3, 4 or 5 symbols respectively. Every Viking symbol that lands on the reels will fight a demon. If the Viking wins the fight you\u2019ll get 1 rage point for each, and the Viking on the reels will also turn into a Sticky Wild. Thanks to these Sticky Wilds, the win potential is very healthy, even if you don\u2019t make it to Level 2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Level 2<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to access the second tier of the Free Spins bonus round then you\u2019ll need to defeat the Lord of Chains. This ominous guy appears at the end of each Free Spin when at least 1 Viking symbol is present. It takes 3 hits to defeat him, and he\u2019ll engage in battle with a random Viking. If the Viking gets a hit on the Lord of Chains, the Viking turns into a sticky wild and 1 health bar is removed from the Lord of Chains. Empty the health bar and you\u2019ll enter Level 2 at the end of Level 1, and all Sticky Wilds will be reset. The second level comes with 2 random Wilds and all Vikings are guaranteed to win their fights with the regular demons. At the end of each Level 2 Free Spin, 1 Viking is chosen to fight Lucifix. Each hit on Lucifix awards 2 random sticky wilds. Like the Lord of Chains, he\u2019s also defeated by 3 hits. Defeating Lucifix awards a 3 x multiplier on the entire Free Spin session and all Vikings are guaranteed to win their fights with the regular demon for the remaining Free Spins.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the Payouts and Wagering Limits for Vikings go to Hell?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are 25 fixed paylines on every spin, and players can place their bets starting as low as $0.10, climbing all the way up to $125 (if you\u2019re willing to put that much on the line). You need to match three or more symbols to trigger a win, but during some features two matching symbols also gives you a shot at cash prizes. The maximum payout on Vikings Go to Hell is up to 100,000 coins, or just over 3,000 times the bet &#8211; that\u2019s over $375,000 if you\u2019re gutsy enough to spin at the very top. The RTP is 96.10%, which is just above the industry average.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final verdict on Vikings go to Hell<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no doubt that Vikings Go to Hell is a fantastic looking game from Yggdrasil that gives players a fully immersive experience. In fact, there\u2019s a small chance that the excellent gameplay will keep you around longer than you initially planned. That being said, the win potential of over 3,000 times the bet means you\u2019re in with a solid chance of being both highly entertained and royally rewarded. If you\u2019re the kind of player who enjoys the thrill of a High Volatility game, then it might be time to dine in hell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vikings go to Hell forms part of Yggdrasil\u2019s viking trilogy &#8211; and it&#8217;s probably the darkest of the three.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":772,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pokies"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skycitycasino.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skycitycasino.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skycitycasino.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skycitycasino.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skycitycasino.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=771"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.skycitycasino.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2556,"href":"https:\/\/www.skycitycasino.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/771\/revisions\/2556"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skycitycasino.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skycitycasino.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skycitycasino.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skycitycasino.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
