Viking Storm

"Viking Storm" is a slot of original and attractive appearance and they were the main factors that awakened my curiosity to decide playing it on demo mode, well this and also the subject the game is based on, I must confess I have always felt attracted by games, books and movies based on ancient civilizations. This slot has been directly manufactured by "mFortune" and this is the only casino where this software is present; the fact that software and casino are owned by the same company often causes some degree of mistrust on the part of the players but I still decided to try it and after a couple of hours playing it I have to say "Viking Storm" is a game that is not awful but not great; on the one hand it has a good design that includes comic and original characters and also animated elements that make it slightly more fun than a conventional slot.

On the other hand, we see that special features are not very generous, for example the bonus round called "Rainbow Road" does not calculate its prizes on the total bet but on the bet per line and normally the maximum award is less than 7 times our total bet because if we get 2 or 3 scatters the reward of reaching the castle is 70x or 100x the bet per line respectively, additionally it is quite difficult to reach because there are many obstacles on the road and prizes available on the road are lower than the one offered by the castle, I also have to say that getting 4 or 5 scatters is very difficult because they have to be aligned on an active payline to trigger the feature.

As for the free spins, there is no associated features to this round to make it more exciting such as multipliers or extra wild symbols and the number of games that can be achieved is not very big, you can only get 5, 7 or 9 turns by the appearance of 3, 4 or 5 free-spin scatters.

Good hit average and acceptable prices on paytable seem to compensate well the shortcomings of the special features and the result is a low-variance-slot that I even think it might be useful to try to clear some kind of bonuses. In short this game could be described as an average slot that will not make you rich but you neither will die of boredom.
