Viking Runes Review
The tale of Norse mythology is one that is often missed out with online slots as Egyptian and Greek mythology dominate the iGaming world. True Lab Games decided to create something a little different with Viking Runes.
This Viking slot plays on a grid of 9x9 using the Cluster Pays mechanic. Throughout this slot, you'll find modifiers and free spins leading to wins of up to 25,000x your stake.
Design
The minute you open up Viking Runes, you'll be greeted with a beautiful view of the Northern Stars above the reels surrounded by an ice location. There is snow and ice everywhere in this slot and even falling snow to add even more to the effect.
To the left of the reels, there's a Viking warrior with an axe who is animated with various noises and phrases that definitely make the slot come to life. All the symbols on the reels relate to runes and fit into the theme.
This all paired with the intense music make add to the excitement and thrills. It's clear that True Lab Games have put in the effort to transform you into a new experience.
Gameplay
As mentioned, this slot uses Cluster Pays meaning that there is no traditional payline. Instead, players will match up wins of up 6 symbols in a cluster to win.
Alongside the Cluster Pays, there are free spins and modifiers but none of these are too complicated. All the menus for this game are at the bottom of the screen.
Win Potential
Viking Runes is a high volatility slot leading to bigger wins but they'll come less often. Additionally, there's a respectable hit rate of 31.8% ultimately meaning that this is the chance of hitting a winning combination.
There is also a solid RTP of 96.2% in this slot that is also brilliant. Finally, you'll find that wins can reach up to an outstanding 25,000x your stake which can be achieved through the free spins with the multiplier.
Our Verdict
Not only is this slot absolutely breathtaking when it comes to design but it's full of so many little details that are just so pleasing to the eyes. Alongside this, you'll find the modifiers and free spins that make the slot even more entertaining.
However, it should be said that we struggled to trigger free spins in our playthrough and it took over 400 spins to finally do this. Despite this fact, Viking Runes is a wonderful slot that shouldn't be missed if you love Cluster Pays and Viking slots.
