“Viking Runecraft 100” is a slot game by Play’n GO that seamlessly merges various elements from its game portfolio, much like the multifaceted stories that make up a human life. It combines the essence of “Viking Runecraft” with the gameplay dynamics of “Moon Princess 100,” presenting a Norse-themed world filled with deities, unlike the anime style of “Moon Princess.” The game pays homage to Viking culture, featuring a setting that might remind players of the mythical Niflheim, and it’s packed with excitement and intensity, characteristic of Viking-themed slots.
Structurally, “Viking Runecraft 100” mirrors “Moon Princess 100” in terms of high volatility and a similar RTP of around 96.2%, with stakes ranging from 20 cents to $/€100. The game is played on a 5×5 grid where symbols form wins in vertical or horizontal lines. Winning symbols are removed to allow others to fall into place, increasing the win multiplier and adding a wild symbol in the process. The game’s symbols range from low-value axes, anchors, helmets, and hammers to high-value gods like Heimdall, Freya, and Thor. Wild symbols substitute for all other symbols and offer a high payout for winning combinations.
The game’s unique features include:
- God Power: Activated randomly on non-winning spins, each God beside the reels uses their power to assist in creating wins. During free spins, this power triggers on every non-winning spin.
- Meter: Filled by wins with God symbols, it activates the Ragnarök feature, where Gods unleash their powers in a free round. Clearing the grid during this round leads to free spins.
- Free Spins: The win multiplier doesn’t reset between spins and can reach up to x100. Filling the meter grants extra free spins, with a maximum of 100.
- Clear Grid: Clearing all symbols from the grid awards a prize of 50x the bet, enhanced by the active win multiplier.
“Viking Runecraft 100” offers an engaging Norse-themed experience, with gameplay mechanics that are both familiar and exciting. While it may not introduce new features, its high win potential and the engaging theme make it a compelling choice for fans of Viking lore and previous Play’n GO slots. The game’s ability to almost clear the grid and its special one-spin feature add to the excitement, making “Viking Runecraft 100” a testament to Play’n GO’s ability to create captivating games.
