Take a seat at the bar as battling Vikings arrive to hang their helmets with a pint of ale in SYNOT Games’ latest slot release, Thirsty Viking, which offers sticky wilds and transforming scatters to claim our Slot of the Week title.
Showcasing a 5×4 reel slot in which players will hope to activate the game’s free spins feature, Thirsty Viking uses 40-paylines to offer players a maximum win of up to x5,000 their preferred stake. The game has medium volatility with an RTP of 96 per cent.
Lukáš Hrabinský, Lead Game Producer from SYNOT Games, commented: “Vikings have been known to celebrate big victories and our Norsemen and Norsewomen will show you how to celebrate all your successes in this thematic game.
“The rich palette of wilds and bonus symbols make for a fantastic experience throughout the game, especially free spins.”
Low value symbols are represented by playing card royals, with Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces. These symbols can offer between x0.1 and x2 the player’s bet, depending on the number of winning combinations that land on a single spin.
Moving up the paytable, Viking helmets, shields, horns, suckling pigs and barrels filled with ale depict the medium value symbols, offering between x0.2 and x4 the player’s stake.
High value symbols come in the form of Viking warriors. If the right number of paying combinations land on a single spin, these symbols can offer between x0.4 and x5 the player’s preferred wager.
Female Vikings can also drop into play, acting as bonus scatters. Landing one or more scatters across all five reels will activate the game’s free spins feature.
Five scatters will trigger five free spins, while any scatter beyond the five will award an additional five spins each.
Additionally, wild flagons of ale can appear, substituting for all symbols other than the bonus scatters.
When the free spins feature is activated, the triggering bonus scatters will stay sticky on the reels while transforming into wilds.
Once the reels start to spin in the free spins game mode, any scatter symbols that land behind a sticky wild will transform into a special wild scatter symbol.
Landing a certain number of these wild scatter symbols on the same spin can retrigger the game mode to award an additional number of free spins.
