Travel back to the time when the Vikings ruled Europe with brute force in this Norse-themed slot game from Red Tiger Gaming. Wild Nords has been impressively designed with some great graphics and uses a 5 x reels and 3 x rows grid offering 20 fixed pay lines. The soundtrack adds further atmosphere as you help various Viking warriors in this fast-paced game.
The reels are made up of the A, K, Q, J, 10 royal symbols, as well as various totem animals, such as a bear, an eagle, and a wolf. There are also wild symbols that if you land them, can return some excellent wins.
Although Wild Nords doesn’t use any bonus symbols or scatters, winning at this game is all about finding the wilds to unlock the features. There are three main character wilds, which are represented by the characters Bjorn, Rolf, and Astrid.
If you land them on the reels, they will appear with a mighty roar that will shake the screen. As the reels continue to spin around them, these Nordic warriors will seek out their totem animal symbols and turn any that land on the reels into wilds. These wilds will substitute for any other symbol on the reels, which can lead to some big wins.
Once the wins have been calculated, you will be rewarded with a re-spin with sticky wilds, so any character wilds and their totem animal symbol remains in place for a further spin opening up more opportunities to land prizes. Should any new totem animals land on the extra spins, they are also turned wild and a further re-spin is awarded. The re-spins will only stop when no new totem animal symbols land.
Bjorn, Rolf or Astrid can also appear at random times and turn symbols wild to trigger re-spins, or either the bear, the wolf or the eagle will appear and can make winning combos if they match any other animal symbols that have landed.
Wild Nords is a very entertaining game that will have you engrossed from the start. The graphics are very impressive and help to set a scene of Nordic times from years gone by. The use of the three main Viking warriors is brilliant and the screen shaking when they roar into play makes you really feel part of the game. Although there are no bonus or scatter symbols, the endless chances of landing wilds keeps you absorbed. Another excellent offering from Red Tiger Gaming.
