Wild Nords slot
Vikings and everything connected with them has been the main theme of cinema and online games for a long time. Vikings or Normans are the northern people who came from Scandinavia from the territory of modern Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

They lived in the coastal areas, and their life was connected with the sea. The developers from Red Tiger company have released Wild Nords slot. It has 20 pay lines and a playing field is 5x3. However, this online slot is not very popular among a lot of players. In my opinion, this is unjustified.
It has disadvantages such as the lack of bonus games, free spins, as well as a small maximum win. But here you will find a big choice of bonus features. The machine is capable of issuing a completely random combination of bonuses, unlike other games of this provider where the issuance of features, their sequence and the average win in most cases, are predictable. Here you will find the theoretical RTP (return to player percentage), which is 96,01%, average volatility, and the high frequency of falling the wins. Wild Nords slot machine is a great way to try your luck and get a lot of adrenaline.
Reviews and recommendations of the test team
- In the main game, due to payouts in both directions, the slot keeps the balance quite well, even despite the low wins for the combinations issued by the slot, which vary in values from 0.1 to 4 bets, and sometimes long series of spins without winnings. This is achieved (not bad balance retention) due to frequent activation of bonus features with sometimes quite high winnings, as well as the fact that they are often issued in series and, accordingly, you can get big win series.
- Activation of functions, as a rule, occurs in large series, but at the same time, with a large number of rotations between series.
- The “Viking” feature (bear, wolf, eagle) is activated when one or more Viking symbols and his animal appear on the reels during a spin (bear Viking + bear symbol, etc., if a Viking is issued without a symbol of his animal, the function is not activated ) and starts a re-spin. All animal symbols will turn into wild symbols during the re-spins, and the spins will continue as long as new animal symbols appear on the reels. During re-spins, the slot sometimes gives out a second Viking and, accordingly, his animal also turns into wild symbols, i.e. 2. The average win during the activation of this function (without additional activation of another function), as a rule, is not high and varies between 1-15 bets, and only every 5-10 activations (or when another function is activated) can bring larger winnings (during the tests, the activation of only this one function gave a win of 60-80 bets).
- Also in the slot, there is a function of turning an animal into a wild symbol when a Viking appears after a spin and turns an animal of its type into a wild symbol. As a rule, by itself, this feature is not able to bring a big win (the average win is only 1-4 bets), but it can give a big win in combination with other features.
- The Viking Animals feature is activated during the main spin. During this feature, one of the Viking animals (bear, wolf, eagle) randomly gives out symbols of its type on the game reels. In most activations, as a rule, only a small number of symbols are given out and such combinations do not bring big winnings (on average 1-10 bets), but periodically (on average 1 time in 6-12 activations), the animal gives out up to the full screen of its symbols ( during testing, up to 13 symbols out of 15 possible were repeatedly issued), which brings winnings from 60 to 200 bets (during testing, we managed to get 12 wolves + 3 were added in the main rotation, which gave a full screen of wolf symbols and a win of 160 bets, in other cases managed to get 12-14 characters).
- As mentioned above, the slot is able to give out a combination of several bonus features (during testing, up to three simultaneous activations were observed, more often than two), which can bring really big winnings. At the same time, unlike a number of other slots, the activation of functions, which is often predictable, is extremely difficult to predict the order of activations. During testing, completely different combinations were observed, among which were, for example, the function of one animal + the function of the second animal; animal function + Viking; Viking + animal function; function of turning one animal into wild + Viking of the second and other combinations.
This slot can be considered for playing with bonus funds, due to quite good balance retention, but it is desirable to have a good margin of bets (at least 200) in case of a long wait for a series of bonus features. When playing for real money, it is possible to consider both short game sessions and leave the slot after a series of bonus features and winnings from 10 to 80 bets, and long ones, with a series of bonus features and long waits for the next series, waiting for big win 150 -300 bets, after which it is still recommended to leave the slot.
Bonus features
