Ring of Odin Slot

Ring of Odin a newly launched slot by popular Play'n Go provider. The slot come with 5 reels and 3 rows. This slot has many features to benefit from namely Drupnir re-spin, Odin's ring feature and a free spins feature. This is really one of a kind slots as the features are not your ordinary slot that you see from time to time.

Symbols include runes with special markings on them as well as medium to high symbols including birds, horses and wolves. The most valuable symbol is Odin himself and he act as wild as well. The scatter symbol comes in form of an eye.
The Odin’s Ring feature can trigger randomly on any base game spin. This occurs when the Ring appears in the center of the reels. The symbol that lands in Odin’s Ring will be the selected symbol for re-spins.

Drupnir re-spins occur based on the symbol chosen during Odin's ring feature.
9 spaces on the reels has the rings and the number of symbols landing in the ring are the amount of re-spins awarded with reels 2,3 and 4 stacked of the chosen symbol.
The free spins feature can be triggered by landing 3 scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 or if you land the scatter symbol as the selected symbol during the Odin ring feature. However, when ring of Odin feature trigger spins, then multipliers are awarded. You initially start with 4 spins and Odin's ring feature is always in play during free spins. If you land a scatter symbol, one extra spin is awarded.

I had many great wins on this slot and key to win big is triggering free spins with multipliers. The best would be to get wild symbol as the selected symbol for mega wins. My biggest win in this slot was x1200 with full screen of top symbol and x4 multiplier. I really love this slot, but bonus can also take forever to trigger.

This slot has nice visuals and sound effects, like you'd expect from a Play 'n GO slot, and the idea of the game is quite appealing as well, in terms of game mechanics it's at least quite original: Your aim is to land a good symbol inside Odin's Ring (Draupner), which appears in the center position of the reels (middle 3rd reel), get a lot of re-spins with this symbol and hopefully land a big win.

Sounds hard? You betcha! For this slot to pay anything just near the stated max. win of 5000x, a lot of stars have to align, quite too many in this punter's opinion.

First, you have to actually get the Draupner feature, either by landing 3 Eye Scatters on 1st, 3rd and 5th reel, which is by the way mostly an arguous task in itself, as the scatters only appear on these specific reels. Or you can get it as a random feature, that is triggered once in a while in the base game. Here you have to land an Eye Scatter inside the ring to get the full bonus (4 attempts). Either way, it's like playing Gold King on a bad, bad day, which is not enjoyable at all, trust me!

Second, on the re-spin, you have to get the same symbol on at least one of the 9 positions on reels 2-4. This decides your number of re-re-spins (?). Obviously, you want as many chosen symbols to land as possible. Mostly, if you've got a premium, you'll land 0, which is game over. In theory, you can get up to 9 symbols = 9 re-spins. I wouldn't count on this happening though...

Third, should you survive these milestones, you can still fail terribly, as Ring of Odin just loves to miss on the first reel on the final spin, especially if you have a good symbol. If you have card values, you can be lucky and get a 20-40x win, as these symbols have very bad payouts, even for full screens.

Fourth, even if you should land a full screen of the top symbol, the Odinsword, it's only 300x - unless you have triggered the bonus on a decent multiplier (up to 9x is possible in theory), which is only possible through the random feature. Landing the bonus by hitting 3 Eye Scatters doesn't award you any multiplier.

Sounds like fun? Just go ahead then, I'll be NOT playing this slot meanwhile. Too difficult, there are better slots out there, also from the same provider.

It's just too difficult to hit anything good on this slot in my opinion. I have given it a fair try, but quite too many stars have to align to hit anything worthwhile on this one. Not very enjoyable, just tilting to get those underwhelming 5-20x bonuses, even when triggering it with a multiplier.
