The action occurs on a classic 5-reel, 10-payline grid set in a Fjord like environment, the grid surrounded by towering cliffs. Long ships bob up and down in the lower portion of the screen while up above lighting flashes across a purple sky. It’s all nice and Vikingy, setting the scene for the familiar dynamics to work their magic on the reels. Lessening the visual impact to a degree is a soundtrack which doesn’t hit quite so hard, though it is adequate enough to not be a distraction.
Available on any device, Book of Vikings can be played from €0.10 to €100 per spin. Staying true to form, Book of Vikings is a highly volatile slot that’s all about getting scatter symbols to unlock free spins since there is little else modifying the base game. The default RTP is very decent at 96.5%, making it one of the more generous ‘Book of’ slots to choose from. Pragmatic has also made the wise decision of sticking to symbol values from the higher end of the spectrum.
Book of Vikings boasts simple controls. In short, here is how to play the slot:
While waiting for those elusive expanding symbol free spins, players score a win when two or three of a kind land from the first reel onwards. Three are needed for the low pay royals, (10-A) which produce a neat effect when they form a win. This is reduced to two or more amongst the high pays where you’ll find horns, helms, a tough Viking warrior, and a Chief rocking a sweet triple plaited beard. Premium wins offer great returns when five of a kind land, from 75x up to 500x the bet – a property greatly enhanced during free spins.
Like most ‘book of’ slots, the actual book symbol is the most highly prized symbol in the game for a number of reasons. For one, it is the wild, replacing any other symbol to make a winning combination. Two, it’s the scatter so 3, 4, or 5 in view award 10 free spins plus an extra payout of 2x, 20x, or 200x the bet respectively.
Before free spins launch, a book flips through its pages to select one of the pay symbols as the special expanding symbol. In free spins, after regular wins have been paid, the special symbol expands vertically to cover all three positions on the reel. What makes these symbols extra special is the expanded form pays all win ways, even in non-adjacent positions. Symbols only expand if they will form a win by doing so.
The final piece of good news is hitting 3 or more scatters during the bonus awards 10 more free spins with the current special symbol. There is no limit to how many times this may occur.
