Join us for an honest review of the Viking's Ransom online slot by Barcrest

Viking's Ransom, a Viking adventure through the frozen seas Northern Europe

At first glance Viking's Ransom is a slot that promises to be in the line of epic games that we have reviewed from these pages. The music is fast-paced, the graphics very interesting ... but little else. As we have progressed in the game we have verified that it lacks development, at least in the graphic part.

The normal game does not have much more mystery and we must enter the bonuses to find some excitement. On the one hand, we find the Wild symbol, which substitutes for all the prize figures except the free spins figures. Reels 1 and 2, 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 can be linked, consequently, colossal Wilds can appear. During the free spins game special wilds can appear at any time.

With the Free Spins symbol we can achieve:

The free spins game, far from being an inducement of excitement, is a replay with minor amendments to the main game. Without a doubt, Viking’s Ransom has disappointed us by its repetition how little it brings us in a
