Review - Video Slot Viking Voyage

The soothsayers spoke of great riches across the sea, so the Golden King has gathered his most loyal warriors on their greatest expedition to date. Polish your axe, push out the longboats, and prepare to go looting when Video Slot Viking Voyage sets sail this spring!

Steeped in Scandinavian lore, the reels of Video Slot Viking Voyage are loaded with royals, runes, and other symbols that spell good fortune for your band of intrepid adventurers: horned helmets, battle-worn axes, golden goblets plundered on past voyages, and god-sent guardians in the form of Odin’s watchful ravens. Joining the Golden King on his fateful voyage are a grizzled village elder, two hardened fighters, and a feisty shieldmaiden all high-paying symbols, and all ready to follow their king to explore new shores in search of untold treasures.

The Golden King himself has descended from his throne to lead his people, and he stands proud on reels 1-4 in stacks of up to 3, using his warrior’s instincts to stand in for any other symbol including the raven scatter. When the King appears in a full-height stack, he bellows a battle cry, freezing that reel in place and shaking the earth so that all other reels spin again. And if another full stack appears during that spin, the King will command that reel to lock, too, before a further respin.

Invite your players to polish their axes and join a historic raiding party in Viking Voyage Betsoft Gaming’s suspense-filled, story-driven take on Scandinavian legend. A special longboat symbol appears only on reels 1 and 5, with shields mounted along its sides, ready to take to the water. When one longboat appears, the drums begin to sound, and if another appears in the same spin, the Vikings being their raid over fifteen free spins! 

Viking Voyage takes place on the eve of an expedition into uncharted waters.  Anointed by the gods, the Golden King is setting out to fulfil the soothsayers’ prophecy and discover impossible wealth with the help of his band of fearless warriors.  The base game is built around preparations for the voyage, while two unique special features bring players onboard the longboats as they set sail with a resounding rallying chant.

Decked out in gleaming armour, the Golden King appears on reels 1 to 4, and uses his warrior’s instinct to stand in for any other symbol including the game’s scatter.  When the King stands proud at the prow of his longboat, he appears in full-height stacks. He uses his booming battle cry to freeze one reel in place while the others respin.  As his shout echoes even further across the frozen fjords, it can trigger more respins and add early riches to the raid’s pool of plunder!

Elsewhere, the five reels of Video Slot Viking Voyage are loaded with royals, runes, sigils, and other symbols that spell good fortune.  Horned helmets, battle-worn axes, golden goblets plundered on past voyages, and god-sent guardians in the form of Odin’s ravens all feature prominently on the paytable.  Alongside them are the Golden King’s high-paying loyal raiders: a grizzled elder in furs, two hardened fighters, and a feisty shieldmaiden all given the inimitable Betsoft treatment, with crisp, characterful artwork.

Viking Voyage’s final feature is a suspenseful free spins game, tied to two longboat symbols that appear on reels 1 and 5.  When one appears, the adaptive soundscape changes and the beat of war-drums picks up pace as players wait for the second symbol.  When both appear, the raiders set sail and the longboats, shields mounted along their sides, slip into the water and start searching for loot over the course of fifteen free spins.

Viking Voyage is built on the latest generation of the cross-platform SHIFT development environment.  Now in its second milestone version, with smart asset and sound quality switching, SHIFT 2.0 guarantees that the same great gameplay reaches players on desktop and mobile with no compromise.

"Viking Voyage offers players a deeper, more meaningful experience to other games with similar themes,” explains Annamaria Anastasi, Betsoft’s Marketing Director.  From the artwork to the gameplay mechanics, every aspect of Viking Voyage is steeped in Scandinavian lore and supported by the standard of cinematic gameplay that is unique to the best games in Betsoft’s Slots3™^TM series.  Every symbol tells a story, and both the free spins and stacked wild respin features are tied closely to the narrative of the game.  We are confident that Viking fans and seasoned slots players will all find this voyage an exciting one to undertake.”
