Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded

If there is one mythical online slot saga about Vikings and Norse mythology that stands out above others, that is Vikings Go. A trilogy of slots produced by the game provider Yggdrasil Gaming and that conquered players with their originality and strength: Vikings Go Wild (2015), Vikings Go Berzerk (2016) and Vikings Go to Hell (2018).

After 5 years of the launch of Vikings Go Berzerk, from Yggdrasil it was thought that a renewal was already touching, and at the end of September 2021, Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded arrived at online casinos. Based on the original slot of 2016, it goes beyond a simple update, which by the chosen name, we imagined at first that it is what it would be. It maintains the story and characters of the game, although it changes the scenario. The graphics and animations have been optimized and their quality improved. It has removed some features such as win meters to simplify the game, but has incorporated or repositioned others, such as wild with win multipliers and Ragnarok Spins.

The changes we can't tell if it makes her best online slot , but what they surely achieve is to attract more than one player with their increase in volatility and maximum profit potential, which happens to be up to x25,000 the bet.

We continue with the classic structure of its predecessor, Vikings Go Berzerk , 5 reels, 4 rows and 25 paylines. Although we see a change in its variance, with an upward trend in each game, leaving the “Reloaded” version with a medium / high volatility, and that fits very well with the general trend of most online slot machines. In the same way, its maximum winning potential has also increased considerably, reaching up to x25,000 times the value of the bet.

Slot players will be able to adjust the value of their spins from $0.25 for the lowest value spin, up to $50 for the most expensive spin. As for the theoretical percentage of return to the player, this is adjusted to 96% (RTP).

The symbols of the game

The featured and highest paying symbols of the slot are the 4 brave Vikings, for which when you get 5 of the same on the payline they will pay us between 10x and 6x times the bet value. The lowest value group of symbols is 4 coins.

As for special symbols we have the Free spin with the image of a Mermaid and the Wild symbol. The joker, in addition, in this sequel can appear randomly associated with a win multiplier, x2, x4 and x8 .

The Ragnarok spin is a special spin that is activated randomly, both in the main game and in the free spins round. During the Ragnarok special spin all the Viking symbols that appear on the spin will do so in Crazed Mode . Inspired by the Viking warriors (Berzerk) who in the middle of battle entered a semi-trance state where fear disappeared and anger and strength dominated them. In this case, with the Ragnarok spin, the 4 Viking symbols that stop on the reels will always do so in a Crazed mode, which will make them victorious in all the battles they fight against the Mermaids, thus becoming wilds symbols.

The battle arrives where the Vikings will face the Mermaids, the Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded free spins round that will be activated from getting 3 or more free spins symbols. The more symbols we add, the better the conditions of the round will be:

• 3 Free spin symbols they reward with – 7 free spins
• 4 Free spin symbols they reward with – 8 free spins and 1 Viking in Crazed mode
• 5 Free spin symbols they reward with – 9 free spins and 2 Vikings in Crazed mode

In all the spins of the round in which one of the 4 vikings of the game stops on the reels, he will fight with a Mermaid. If the Viking is victorious, he will become a sticky wild, that means that he will become a wild card and will be fixed in the position he occupies for the rest of the round. Vikings who are in Berserk mode will always win their battles. On the left side of the reels we will see a portrait of each of the Vikings that tells us at all times which one is in Crazy mode (framed in fire). During the entire free spins round we will have the opportunity, randomly, to improve the multiplier associated with the sticky wild symbols.

The treasure chest

The Treasure Chest is a feature adapted from the original game. In the Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded slot, it can only appear during the free spins round and will always come with extra prizes. It will activate when you stop the reels a chest symbol on the fifth reel and can reward us with:

• 1, 2 or 3 extra free spins.
• 1 or 2 sticky wilds.
• 1 Viking gone mad + 1 extra free spins.
• Double the wild multiplier for that spin.

Risk free spins feature

As soon as the free spins round is activated, the game will offer us to bet all the free spins in exchange for improving, from the beginning, the characteristics of the free spins round. The improvement consists of having a Viking in Crazed mode, which ensures us a sticky wild in all fights with Mermaids.

The risk is 50% , but remember that if you don't win, you will lose all the free spins. You can risk the spins a maximum of 4 times in a row.

The Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded slot gives us the option to activate the free spins round in exchange for paying for it. The price will depend on the value of the bet, the purchase of the bonus will have a cost of X75 times the value of the bet . It is an option that is worth valuing well due to its high cost and that complicates the recovery of the investment.
