The Myth

We are not exactly sure how Dragons and Vikings fit together but, as we can all see everything is possible in the iGaming World as Mascot Gaming introduces us to The Myth online slot.

A clever use of symbolic and iconic Viking runes and names has been used in this online edition to help form an exciting gameplay experience. Let’s check it out.

Theme and Symbols

The Myth is an online video slot that revolves around Vikings and Dragon’s treasure, designed and developed by Mascot Gaming content provider.

A typical Nordic landscape has been used to depict the title’s background as there are snowy mountains, a lake and a green field. The graphics are eye pleasing and accompanied by what appears to be a rather Scottish soundtrack.

All in all, the atmosphere is quite enjoyable. The pay table is representative of pictures such as Dragons, Viking with War Paints, a Spirit, a Wolf ( Possibly Fenrir ) and A, K, Q, J and 10 runic carved royals.

The Moon is the Wild Symbol, appearing on all reels to replace any paying symbol with the exception of the Scatter, which is depicted by Axes and a Shield.

Betting Options and Features

5 reels, each 3 symbols tall and 10 pay lines is what you get when playing the The Myth online video slot from Mascot Gaming. The winning combinations are made in regular manners, 3 or more across a pay line starting from the leftmost reel.

The betting range is quite optimal, suitable for all kinds of punters as it goes from £0,20 per spin to the maximum betting amount per spin of £50,00. The game’s best odds are not as good, sitting at 94,82% which is considered to be way below the industry average of 96%.

And although we’ve seen far better odds in Mascot Gaming’s online slots, the hit frequency is 25,80% which means that the wins will come your way quite often, while the volatility has been measured at a medium level.

Risk’n’Buy Feature - after each spin in the base game, regardless of the outcome ( win or lose ), you can choose to risk the current win and go straight into 1 out of 4 Free Spin rounds or buy one of those features at the specified cost.

Free Spins - 3, 4 or 5 Scatters anywhere in view trigger the feature and award 10, 15 or 25 spins free of charge respectively. Now, before the feature itself starts, a random selection of 4 Free Spins versions will be selected.

Dragon Free Spins - The Wild icon becomes the Wild Dragon Rune and on each spin 1 reel becomes the Wild Dragon Reel and all of the Wild Dragon Runes on the screen become the same.

Viking Free Spins - The Wild Symbol becomes the Viking Wild rune and all of the adjacent symbols turn into Viking Wilds.

Skadi Free Spins - The Skadi Wild triggers a set of respins which continue to happen for as long as the Skadi Wild is present on the reels. The Skadi Wild moves 1 position from right to left until it completely leaves the grid.

Lastly, the Wolf Free Spins modifier will see that on each spin up to 3 Wolf Wilds are added on the grid. The win is guaranteed to happen.

Final Verdict

The Myth online slot is a fairly simple, yet highly effective gameplay experience. The reason for this is that the Free Spins feature can be retriggered in any of the 4 versions. The only downside is the RTP of 94,80%.

Anyway, if you feel like you would like to check out the game due to its design and idea but you’re just not sure about the best odds then, we highly recommend that you read our exclusive interview with Mascot Gaming and find out more about the developer.
