Now embark on your unusual slot journey!

Viking Runecraft slot review

The Viking Runecraft Slot offers a very unusual setup. This slot consists of seven reels with seven rows each. There are no pay lines in the classic sense in this slot. Instead, in order to win, you must spin a cluster of five identical symbols either vertically or horizontally. A minimum bet of €0.10 is required to start a spin. Up to 100 € per turn are possible as maximum bet. According to the manufacturer, the RTP for this slot is 96.70%, which is a very good value compared to other slots.

Viking Runecraft bonus spins

Profit waves are the first feature to emerge via a so-called fall down mechanism. After each winning round, the symbols that contributed to the win disappear. As a result, new symbols fall from above and can lead to another win within the same round. This continues until no more profit is made.

Each time you win, the bonus meter on the left side of the slot increases. When the meter is full, one of the four following Charge of Destruction bonus games is triggered:

  • Fury of Fenrir – Two lines are transformed into the same symbols.
  • Judgement of Jörmungand – A random number of symbols is destroyed and replaced by equal symbols on the reels.
  • Scorching of Surtr – Three symbols are lit and destroy other symbols, which in turn are replaced by new symbols.
  • Lure of Loki – Two symbols are selected. One disappears and one is transformed into another symbol.

Once you make it into the Charge of Destruction game, you can reload the bonus meter. When it’s full this time, you play the so-called Ragnarök feature. The standard bonus meter is transformed into the End of the World bonus meter. If you collect many identical symbols during this game, your winnings will be multiplied. 20 identical symbols bring a double multiplier. For 40 symbols, there is a triple multiplier. 60 symbols bring a five-fold multiplier and 80 symbols even a 15-fold profit multiplier.

If you don’t win in the Ranarök game, you’ll still play in the Charge of Destruction bonus game.

In addition, the Viking Runcraft Slot has four God levels. For that you must uncover a God. This happens in the basic game when you spin a certain symbol combination. Every time you uncover a god, you go up in the level. The Gift of God feature tied to it is activated randomly in the base game after a non-winning round. The following functions await you in each of the levels:

  • God of Thunder – Between five and nine symbols become wild.
  • God of Wisdom – Four Wilds appear side by side in two pairs.
  • God of Beauty – A cluster of four wilds is formed and remains standing until a profit is generated.
  • God of Guarding – A game appears on each of the seven slot rows.

Finally there is the Rune of Vahalla feature. This is activated when you have collected a certain number of stones. This will open a wheel of fortune which you can turn. There are cash prizes to be won.

Viking Runecraft RTP is 96.70%

Viking Runecraft mobile slot

As usual with most Play’n Go slots, this slot is also available in a mobile version. Simply load the game via the game lobby. You can easily activate a rotation by clicking on the green arrow on the right. The inserts can be adjusted in the menu which opens under the green arrow at the bottom right. Despite the somewhat more complicated gameplay, we also found this slot to be excellent on smaller mobile devices.

Great slot with many innovations

Vinking Runecraft convinces us absolutely from a graphical point of view. The large playing area with seven reels and seven rows is extremely innovative and almost unique. The gameplay of the slot is extensive and may be a bit complicated at first.

However, the multitude of additional features and extra levels provide for great winnings especially if you have the patience to play into higher god levels. If there was something negative to criticize, it might be the fact that there is no classic free spin feature.

All in all, this slot is really well done and is very innovative due to the design and the special bonus features. If you want to test similar slots with similar themes, we recommend Age of the Gods Furious 4 by Playtech or Vikings go Berzerk by Yggdrasil.
