Brave Viking Slot BGaming

Love this slot
When it pays it pays big
Classic simple symbols

“Brave Viking” is a slot inspired by the legendary civilization of warriors mentioned within its name; I have always liked games inspired by epic stories, battles and overall games with a high content of action; pitifully this video slot created by “SoftSwiss” is not exactly a loaded action game, in fact it is rather a fairly simple slot where the best moments happen during the bonus game and it is not really a great thing.

To trigger the bonus game it is necessary to obtain two scatters represented with the image of a dragon boat that appears only on reels 2 and 4, after which I must choose between green, blue or red team to compete in a dragon boat race; if our ship comes in first place, we will get a prize equivalent to 100 times our total bet, 10x second, and finally 1x third.

At times, it seems to get access to the above feature is relatively easy, but this is not always the case as I have come to do over 200 spins without getting triggered the bonus game; additionally, all the times I could participate in this boat race, I managed to get first only once, for then my bet level was still the lowest possible and the truth is that thereafter I could never locate my boat on top of the podium again.

The other feature is a round of free spins that doesn’t excite me much mainly because it is quite likely to finish all the free spins (which in my case they have always been only 5 turns) without winnings since this is a slot provided with only 9 pay lines that only pays for combinations made from left to right, so it is not so strange to get 5 or more dead spins in a row.

Another unfavorable aspect for the player is that in “Brave Viking” only 2 of its 8 regular symbols are top symbols and no exaggeration to say that getting a single line of at least 4 of a kind with these top symbols is a real challenge, it is even not very common to form lines of 3 of a kind with them; so, in my view, average payouts during the base game are quite poor and the round of free spins and bonus game don’t seem to be better.

Finally, my session ended with losses and honestly, I never felt to be able to recover them. Curiously, this is not the first slot manufactured by “SoftSwiss” with which I feel that and for that reason, I don’t normally choose games from this provider when playing at online casinos; occasionally I decide to try any of its games but nothing else.
