Set on a longship in the middle of the ocean, Vikings Go Bezerk is only for those players that are brave enough to tackle the seas and its hidden depths. The reels may at first glance seem harmless enough, but the waters can get choppy and the mermaids relaxing on the rocks are not all they first appear…
The design of this slot is good, with a number of characters on the reels that create a more immersive experience for players. Vikings Go Bezerk has good quality graphics and this is matched, or even surpassed, by the actual gaming features.
Vikings Go Bezerk is a 4 row, 5 reel game with 25 paylines. In standard play, you just need to match up the symbols along these paylines to net a win, but the gameplay extends beyond this with special features that can result in even bigger wins if you’re lucky!
Gameplay
To cover the basic elements of the game first, you can choose your bet level and value before playing. You can also choose to press spin on each turn or have it spin automatically.
The symbols on the reels of Vikings Go Bezerk include 4 types of coins- an old dark one, and then ones of bronze, silver, and gold. The higher-value symbols will show 4 different viking characters: a thin-faced bearded warrior; a large warrior with an eye-patch; an old, white-bearded man; and a a blonde female warrior. These will have an even greater role when it comes to special features…
Each time they give you a win, their own “rage meter” rises. You can see the level of each of the characters’ meters underneath the reels, and if one reaches full “rage mode” then you can get access to free spins mode. In this mode, the viking that had the full rage meter will go into full “bezerk” mode, which we explain in the next section.
As with other slot games, there is also a Wild symbol in standard play mode.
Special Features
We have seen one way to get into free spins mode, but another way is to get 3 or more free spins symbols on the reels. This can activate Ragnarok free spins mode where all four of the vikings go into “bezerk” mode.
When you go into free spins mode, the seemingly innocent mermaids will take you into the depths of the ocean, where they turn into terrifying monsters- they are the deadly sirens!
On the reels in free spins mode, every time a viking warrior symbol appears, they will fight a siren. Every warrior that’s in “bezerk” mode will be able to defeat the siren and will turn into a sticky Wild for the remainder of the free spins mode. This can give you the opportunity to win big, and is an exciting new development for the game!
This is not the only special feature on Vikings Go Bezerk. Players should also look out for a treasure chest on the fourth or fifth reels. A treasure chest on the fourth reel will offer you the chance of winning some coins or free spins, while the chest on the fifth reel will offer even bigger prizes to help you in your game.
Summary
Vikings Go Bezerk is a fun and exciting game that will keep players on their toes as they look out for special features to kick in! With rage meters, bezerk mode, free spins mode, and treasure chests to look for, the gameplay is always changing and definitely never gets boring!
