SYMBOLS
Norse runes of joy, growth, harvest, wealth and fertility are the title’s low-value symbols. Depending on the combination of symbols which land on the reels following a spin, these symbols can offer x1 and x20 the player’s wager.
A Viking helmet, a drakkar ship and Thor’s hammer Mjolnir are the game’s high-value symbols. These symbols can offer x4 to x300 the player’s bet, depending on which symbols are present on the reels.
The game also has a seed symbol, a scatter symbol and a wild symbol and two extended wild symbols, as well as a progress mechanic, nine realms – Midgard, Nidavellir, Alfheim, Niflheim, Muspelheim, Hell, Jotunheim, Vanaheim and Asgard – which can have different bonus effects on the game, and a buy bonus option.
The progress mechanic is represented by Ratatoskr the squirrel, while a gold seed covered in brown leaves is the title’s seed symbol, which can randomly appear either as a number – +1, +2 or +3 – or as a bonus. It can’t land during the bonus games or alongside scatter symbols.
As a number, the seed symbol causes Ratatoskr to move through the realms according to the number displayed on the seed. As a bonus, the seed symbol unlocks the bonus feature of the current realm while Ratatoskr stays in the same position.
The wild symbol is Loki, which substitutes for all symbols except for the scatter and seed symbols. It can only appear in reels two, three and four. Only one scatter symbol can land on each reel during a single spin.
DETAILS
Heimdall is the title’s scatter symbol. If three of these symbols are present on the reels, the player is taken to one of the three bonus realms – Jotunheim, Vanaheim and Asgard – depending on which realm is shown when the scatter symbols flip. The player is then awarded the free spins and multipliers associated with that realm.
The game’s two extended wild symbols are Odin and Surtr, with both of them extending to cover the entire reel when they are present, substituting for all other symbols except for the scatter and seed symbols. The Surtr wild can only appear in the Muspelheim realm.
Each of the nine realms featured in the title can have a different effect on the game. Midgard awards the player a random multiplier between x2 and x10. Nidavellir sees the player select one of three crystals, in which a random multiplier between x2 and x20 is revealed and awarded to the player.
Alfheim awards the player five to 15 free spins. Niflheim sees the player awarded five free spins while a Loki wild drops during the first spin and stays in place for all five spins. If additional wilds land during the free spins, they will also stay in place, with the maximum number of wilds which can drop being five.
Muspelheim awards five free spins to the player, with Surtr appearing and burning one of the reels at random, turning it into a wild reel for all five free spins. Hell gives the player a chance to spin a wheel, giving them a one in six chance of winning either x100 or losing their progress.
Jotunheim awards the player 10 free spins, with two symbols being turned into 2×2-sized gigantic symbols. These symbols stay fixed and are available throughout the 10 free spins, but they can randomly change during the spins. Vanaheim awards 10 free spins to the player, with the total win of the free spins being multiplied by a random number between x2 to x10.
Asgard also awards the player with 10 free spins, multiplying the total win by a random number between x2 to x10. One to three Odin wilds can also appear on the reels after every spin. If the total wins exceed x150, the player’s progress is reset.
The title also has a buy bonus option, allowing the player to purchase either the Jotenheim, Vanaheim and Asgard realm bonuses for x45, x50 or x100 the player’s stake respectively.
