When you land 3 Scatters you will trigger the round and get 6 spins to being with. The round will start with a single feature added while each additional Scatter you hit during the round will award additional spin that will be added to the total number left. With 2 Scatters hitting at the same spin during the round will retrigger the round.
In the round, Sorcery will randomly select one of the high paying symbols and then transform all the low paying symbols on the grid to the chosen one that has been selected. Love in this round will add between 2 and 5 Wilds to the grid in random slots, and 1 per reel. War, on the other hand, will award one of the randomly chosen multipliers that can be x2, x3, x5, x10 or x20.
Folkvang

More symbols can be upgraded with Scatters where 3 Scatters extend the upgrade to Wild Boars, and 5 Scatters upgrade to Large Cats.

Summary
The Faces of Freya is the latest release we have seen from Play’n GO, and unlike other Norse mythology inspired slot that are centered around Thor, Odin and Loki, it was refreshing to see female characters being the center for once. This medium volatility slot with RTP of 96.20% max win cap set to x5000 your bet, may not seem as much, but with a bit of patience, you will get to see how powerful and tricky Norse female deities can really get. Features and gameplay have really nice touch although can seem a bit confusing at times. Nevertheless, we surely recommend you giving this one a couple of spins to get a complete sense of what it truly offers.
Faces of Freya is one of the latest releases from Play' N Go. This slot comes with many features that are a bit exciting however extremely highly volatile. You will get wilds, upgraded symbols, multipliers, and extra wilds. During the base game, you can trigger one of 3 features for a good win if you manage to land 2 scatter symbols.
On the reels, you will find Runes in different colors, which are your low-paying symbols and your high-paying symbols are different animal beasts and a wild symbol. Wild is the highest and pays x40 your total stake for 5 of a kind.
Landing 2 wilds symbol can land any of the following features with 1 free re-spin:
Upgrade symbol feature
During the re-spin, the high-paying symbols upgrade to the same one and if they land, all of those symbols change to the same one for big wins.
Extra wilds symbols – a Random number of wilds can be selected and those numbers of wilds will land on the reels during the re-spin.

If you managed to get 3 scatters free spins are triggered. You will be awarded a set number of spins depending do you get the multiplier, extra wilds, or upgrade symbol feature during free spins.
If you managed to land 4 or 5 scatters – You active all 3 features and during each set of 5 spins you need to collect scatters to upgrade your symbol, multiplier, and extra wilds. After the 15 spins are done you are awarded 3 free spins where all 3 features are active during those spins. This is where you can aim for big wins, but do not get excited, as the game pays poorly for most times.
Another thing – triggering free spins are tricky and hard. Even getting 2 scatters is difficult to get however the base game can land small wins if you want to complete wagering. If you see the game is cold, then please move on! My biggest win was over 100x, but that’s it, most times it took my money.
