Ragnar: First Strike Review
In ancient legends, Ragnar was a Viking hero who is known from the Old Norse poetry of the Viking Age. He distinguished himself by conducting many raids against the British Isles and the Holy Roman Empire.
Naturally, this makes Ragnar the perfect figure for an online slot, exactly what Light & Wonder and Hitsqwad did with Ragnar: First Strike. This Viking slot follows Ragnar and his warriors as they try to conquer the world.
Like the other First Strike slot, Bravo Mission, this slot plays on 5-reels with 20 paylines and features free spins, multipliers and progressive jackpots leading to unbelievable wins.
Design
Ever wanted to go on a voyage with Vikings? Well, this is the slot for you. The game opens up with longboats in the background floating on the river as well as a sunset in the distance.
The reels on the symbols relate back to the theme with Ragnar, his wife Lagertha, wolves, crows and different weapons. There are little touches to match the Viking theme with different runes and symbols.
With bow instruments, drums and chanting, you've got yourself the score to Ragnar: First Strike. It's quintessentially Viking themed hitting all the right elements for players.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Ragnar: First Strike is almost identical to the Bravo Mission slot. That's not a bad thing but do not expect anything different or refreshing in this slot.
To get started with the game, you'll find the spin button on the right side followed by the bet level and other settings. The value of the progressive jackpots can be found above the reels.
Win Potential
Just like the previous game, this slot contains a medium volatility level followed by a mighty maximum win of 12,075x the stake. The game RTP is 92.5% followed by the jackpot RTP of 3.5% which equates to 96% which is standard for an online slot.
The First Strike Jackpots are easily the biggest draw to this slot with three different jackpots on offer with Minor, Major and Grand. Grand is the biggest jackpot and it's seeded at £75,000. Overall, the win potential is fantastic and fair for a jackpot slot.
Our Verdict
Ragnar: First Strike is a solid Norse slot that has all the right elements to deliver an incredible slot. Whilst the design is not anything special, it's grand enough to deliver the right vision for the slot.
This paired with the wonderful gameplay with the First Strike and free spins make Ragnar: First Strike a top-quality slot. Most of this slot is identical to Bravo Mission, so the decision is if you want Norse in your slot or modern-day military.
