The Viking Saga Continues!

Bearing the name after an immense and central sacred tree in Norse cosmology, one may easily guess the #1 topic Yggdrasil Gaming uses when developing its top-notch online slots. Telling the story of Gunnar and his courageous army in their mission to protect Asgard, Vikings Go to Valhalla immerses players right in the middle of epic battles.

Optimized to deliver supreme quality experience across versatile devices and platforms, this Viking-themed work of art brings 25 lines. Displayed across a 4x5 grid, the release incorporates a return to player percentage of 96%, high volatility, and max win potential of EUR 1,181,700.

Defending the Hall of Heroes

Described as one of the most epic releases to date, Yggdrasil’s newest addition to the catalog, Vikings Go to Valhalla has quite a captivating narrative. The majestic Hall of Heroes is under attack, as the snake king, Jörmungandr looms near eager to destroy it.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product and Programs at Yggdrasil Gaming, commented on the newly presented game as follows:

“The Vikings brand has been a driving force for Yggdrasil’s growth since our inception and they face their biggest battle yet at the end of days…We’re immensely pleased with the latest installment of this franchise and hope fans of the Vikings saga are as happy as we are with the title.”

Jörmungandr is also known as Midgard Serpent, as it encircles the realm of Midgard. The God Thor was his biggest enemy, but it was actually never made clear why the two of them hate each other so deeply. Their last meeting occurred at Ragnarǫk, where Thor killed the giant beast but after nine paces, he fell dead, poisoned by the serpent’s venom.

Powerful Compilation of Features

To start with, each winning combo that features a Viking symbol sees the punter collecting rage points. When one of the Viking warrior’s meters is filled, then Berzerk respins are triggered. The Viking who activated this mode always wins the fight when presented.

In addition to this…

…treasure chests can land on the last reel during all modes of the game, awarding a variety of prizes. Three or more Scatter symbols will initiate bonus spins, at the end of which the Ragnarök Wheel is triggered. During this mode, all Vikings are Berzerk for massive win potential as they take the battle to Jörmungandr.

Finally, in certain jurisdictions, consumers can purchase one of three bonus modes.

Sneak Peek into Other Viking-themed Games

In previous installments inspired by Norse mythology, players had the chance to meet a whole spectrum of Gods and unusual creatures. Showcased in August 2015, Vikings Go Wild was the one to break the ice.

Presented in November 2016…

…also with tons of themed features was Vikings Go Berzerk, equally well-accepted as the initial release. Worth adding is that five years later, in September 2021, Yggdrasil went live with an enhanced variant dubbed Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded, which brought a new random feature “Ragnarok Spin.”

Vikings Go to Hell, unveiled in May 2018, takes players to the very center of a battle to confront the demon hordes of the underworld. Equipped with a fight feature that transforms big win symbols into sticky wilds during bonus spins, and a treasure chest that triggers versatile prizes, this game is all about action.
