Vikings Go To Olympus: Slot Overview

Those Vikings really have been everywhere, haven’t they? Berzerk, Egypt, Valhalla, Berzerk Reloaded, even hell. This time, software provider Yggdrasil has dispatched its fearsome foursome to take on the world of ancient Greece in the online slot Vikings Go To Olympus. It’s not exactly a peaceful exchange of ideas or local produce—no feta-for-mead diplomacy here—but a full-on clash between warriors and gods, bringing sticky wilds, wild multipliers, and more.

In the base game, the Vikings square off with Poseidon as he rises and falls in the sea, resembling an especially irritated Jason Momoa from ‘Aquaman’. Switch to free spins and Zeus takes over, hurling lightning and barking hostile lines like ‘Die!’, ‘I am your doom!’ and ‘Perish!’ Vikings Go To Olympus packs in big characters and pulls it off nicely, delivering that satisfyingly weighty Norse-versus-Greek collision the Vikings Go series has been leaning into for some time.

Vikings Go To Olympus plays out on a 5×4 matrix, forming wins across 25 paylines starting from the leftmost reel. Volatility sits in the medium-high range, and of the two RTP options offered, 96% is the top return available. Bets run from 10 c to $/€100 per spin, and there are seven bonus buy options you can trigger, all set to the same 96% RTP.

The paytable is packed with Vikings, with 4 of them acting as the higher-value symbols paying up to 6 to 10 times the bet. Alongside them are 4 lower-paying symbols that return 1 to 1.5 times the bet for landing 5 OAK. When wilds appear, they replace any of the standard paying symbols.

Vikings Go To Olympus: Slot Features

For their Olympus expedition, the Vikings have brought along WildFights, Rushing Wilds, WildFight Respins, WildFight + Multiplier Respins, Rage Collection, free spins, and bonus buys.

WildFight

Both in the base game and during free spins, Viking symbols fight Poseidon or Zeus, respectively. When they win, they transform into sticky wilds—for respins in the base game, or for the full free spins round. WildFights take place before any wins from the spin are paid out.

RushingWilds

While in free spins, every new wild that lands increases the multipliers on the other wilds. A wild’s multiplier multiplies the payline win it contributes to. If a win includes multiple wilds, their multipliers are added together.

WildFight Respins

• WildFight Respin – Landing a single scatter triggers a WildFight respin. All high-pay symbols fight, and if they win, they become sticky wilds for one respin.
• WildFight + Multiplier Respin – Landing 2 scatter symbols trigger RushingWild respins. All high-pay symbols fight with a chance of becoming sticky wilds for the respin. Then, all wilds receive an x2 multiplier, and one respin is awarded.

Rage Collection

In the base game, any high and low pay symbol can appear with a corresponding sub-symbol. Each sub-symbol adds a number of points to the collection tied to its Viking. Low symbols add 1 point, while high symbols add 2 points. Once a Viking’s collection is full, that Viking goes Berzerk in the next free spins round. Berzerk Vikings always win their WildFights, and the chance of free spins is higher when Berzerk is active. Rage Collection progress carries over between bet levels.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters grants 6, 8, or 10 free spins, respectively. During free spins, a WildFight occurs on every free spin. If a high symbol wins, it turns into a sticky wild for the rest of the round. Whenever a new sticky wild lands, all existing wilds add +1 to their multiplier, and those multipliers remain throughout the full free spins session. Any scatter that lands awards +1 free spin.

Buy Bonus

Vikings Go To Olympus includes 7 buy options. You can purchase 6, 8, or 10 free spins for 40x, 50x, or 65x the bet, respectively, or 6, 8, or 10 free spins with a Random Berzerk for 95x, 195x, or 390x the bet, respectively. The final option is 6-10 free spins with 1 Viking Berzerk at 205x the bet. Berzerk Collection does not apply to free spins when bought.

Vikings Go To Olympus: Slot Verdict

The Vikings haven’t just travelled far—players following the Vikings Go series have been on a ride too. From the highs of Vikings Go Berzerk/Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded to the less impressive moments of Vikings Go To Egypt Wild Fight, there’s been something for those chasing volatile, big-potential action as well as for anyone wanting a milder punt. One thing that’s notably missing in Vikings Go To Olympus, though, is Treasure Chests handing out their different rewards. For whatever reason, Yggdrasil has removed Treasure Chests from this entry and instead looks to support the RTP in other ways.

One of those newer routes is the Rushing Wilds mechanic. Since these games already revolve around landing sticky wilds, letting each new wild boost the multiplier value of wilds already in play is a smart addition. Thankfully, Rage Collection is still here. It would have felt strange—almost a deal-breaker—if that had gone too, because the certainty that Berzerk Vikings always win their fight and turn into sticky wilds is one of the series’ best payoffs. With Treasure Chests gone comes a reduction in maximum potential (compared to the Berzerk slots), bringing it down to 6,000x the bet when reaching peak rage.

It’s obvious the Yggdrasil team has put serious work into the release, resulting in a game with blockbuster-level polish and production values. That said, anyone hoping the follow-up to Vikings Go To Egypt Wild Fight would push the series forward in a major way may feel underwhelmed, and Treasure Chests fans will miss them too. Even so, Vikings Go To Olympus delivers plenty of combat, sticky wilds, building multipliers, memorable characters, and rage, making it a fun play overall.
