Given that the massively popular series has been going strong since 2013, there's a lot we can say here. (Also, guess what, it premiered in Canada!). But we'll keep it short and simple.We begin the series by getting introduced to one Ragnar Lothbrok. Now, this fictional character is based on the real Norse hero 'Ragnar Lodbrok'. In fact, he himself claims to be descended from the Norse god Odin himself. Although we think that's to be debated. In any case, Ragnar was not only extremely intelligent, he was also a good leader and a fierce warrior. Ragnar basically started the Scandinavian invasion of England and France, by setting sail across the seas. He and his people looted, murdered and fought their way to power and riches.In the series, Ragnar also has a wife, Lagertha, a son, Bjorn, and a brother, Rollo. Floki is a somewhat mentally unstable Viking, who also happens to be one heck of a shipbuilder. Hence his relationship with Ragnar. Over the years, the series has managed to maintain the sense of wildness and roughness associated with the Vikings, while also showing the Viking absorption into English and Mediterranean cultures.Time and time again, the series has been acclaimed for its production, characters and narrative. It has collected a number of rewards, and even more positive reviews.Given that this is going to be a NetEnt product, we're guessing the Vikings slot isn't going to fall short of the same kind of praise.Visually, Vikings definitely meets our expectations. Using promo stills from the show itself everything instantly puts the player right into the middle of the game. It gives players a taste of being a part of the show.The background for Vikings is a beautifully drawn shot of a snow-covered field. This changes to a battle razed shot of the same field for the raid spins feature which adds a sense of urgency to the game. It all works together perfectly to create a truly thematic and atmospheric experience.
When it comes to gameplay, we never had any doubt that it would be nothing short of epic.Here's a quote from Henrik Fagerlund, Chief Product Officer at NetEnt:
The maximum wager for Vikings is $100. This gives players on a higher budget the opportunity to play a high rolling game, although there are games on the market that offer significantly higher wagers. The minimum wager of $0.20 allows players on low budgets the chance to engage with the game to a standard that they feel comfortable with.The maximum payout for Vikings is a truly incredible sum that can go up to 10,000 times your stake. This means that on a maximum wager game there is the chance to walk away with $1,000,000. This is life-changing money on offer in Vikings of the sort that is usually only available in progressive jackpots. The RTP of 96.05% is slightly below the market average.
