Game Overview
While Vikings have a reputation as pirates, pillagers, and plunderers, you have to admire their remarkable navigational skills, craftsmanship, and contributions to exploration and trade, which left a lasting impact on the cultural and historical landscape of Europe and beyond. They were ahead of the times when it came to shipbuilding, were fearsome warriors not many wanted to mess with, and, if you watch TV and movies, were all extremely attractive with blonde hair, blue eyes, and rugged looks. All facts I tell thee, except maybe the last part. Considering all the above, is it any wonder we have so many Viking themed slots to pick from? We now have another, as Max Win Gaming has released Sword Stomp, a 5×3 slot with 10 paylines, a 10,000x max win, and a 96% RTP.
The Sword Stomping this slot’s title alludes to occurs when expanding multiplier wild symbols reveal a multiplier between 2x and 100x. The Viking on the symbol stomps his sword and up pops a multiplier that applies to the payouts it helps create. That wild appears during the base game and in the free spins bonus game, albeit with a major difference. The wild locks in place throughout the free spins bonus and stomps to reveal a new multiplier value on every spin.
I know most of you could care less about swords stomping on wild symbols and are more interested in finding out whether this game is a viable slot option or one that will have you stomping your feet towards another slot with no intention of returning. Well, the simple solution is to check out the Sword Stomp demo slot below to see for yourself.
Sword Stomp Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
I think we’d need a Viking longboat if we were to sail and navigate through the sea of Viking slots that pop up in casino lobbies, with this theme plundered so often that I’d wager every prominent software developer has at least a slot or two using it. We’ve reviewed a fair few of them here, but if I had to pick out a favourite, Vikings Unleashed Megaways from Blueprint Gaming would have to be up there. I mean, we’re talking a 50,000x max win, up to 117,649 Megaways, and a fee spins bonus with a progressive multiplier, so you can see why we scored it so highly. Another great option is the Viking Runecraft slot from provider Play’ n Go, a fantastic grid slot with a solid RTP of 96.71% and a maximum win of 5,000x the bet.
Whilst I recommend you give those slots a play a little later on, hang fire for the time being before you’ve tried this latest Viking-themed title from Max Win Gaming. Does it offer bonus features and gameplay that are as good as those? We’ll soon find out, but before we do, let’s dive into the symbols and payouts it has to offer. The Wild and the Red-Haired Viking Lady share the top spot on the paytable with a 20x payout for a five symbol combo. The Firsome Wolf is next up with 10x on offer, while the Raven and Axe share a top prize of 5x. As for the lower pays, these are the card suits, and the Spade, Heart, Club, and Diamond icons all return 1x the bet for a winning connection of five.
Wrapping up this part of our review, we end with the bet selection available on Sword Stomp. The good news is there seems to be a great range of stake options on offer here for players of all budgets, with the minimum price to play starting at €0.10 a spin and maxing out at €20.
Sword Stomp Slot Base Game & Modifiers
There’s nothing complicated about the reel setup and the base game mechanics on Sword Stomp, as they’re about as common as you’ll find. The game features 5 reels, 3 rows, and 10 fixed paylines, and to create wins, you’ll need 3 or more matching symbols to land across a payline starting from the first reel and moving right.
Expanding Wild Multipliers
A bit of much-need spice is added to the base game thanks to wild multiplier symbols that could multiply symbol combination payouts by up to 100x. When a Wild lands and helps create a win by substituting for any regular symbol, it will expand to fill its reel and reveal a multiplier of between 2x and 100x. The multiplier value will apply to any symbol wins the wild helps to create.
Sword Stomp Slot Bonus Features
Sword Stomp comes with just one major bonus feature, which is the free spins bonus awarded when three scatters land in view. Once this has been achieved, ten spins will be awarded
Free Spins Feature
During the free spins, any expanding multiplier wild that lands on the reels during the bonus spins will lock into place until the bonus is finished. Furthermore, each of these symbols’ multiplier values will change to another random value on every spin.
Bonus Buy
Rather than spinning away hoping to land the scatter symbols needed, you could just purchase the free spins bonus outright. Using the buy bonus feature, those 10 free spins will set you back 100x your current stake.
Pros
- A good max win of 10,000x bet.
- The expanding multipliers also appear in the base game.
Cons
- The free spins mode could be better – aside from the expanding multiplier wilds, it doesn’t offer much different to what you get in the base game.
Sword Stomp Slot Review Final Thoughts
After we reviewed the excellent Don't Hit Please slot last time out from Max Win Gaming, I had high hopes when I saw Sword Stomp hit my in-tray this morning, but unfortunately, I've been left a little underwhelmed. Yes, the expanding multipliers do have the potential to award some big wins, but other than that, the game offers very little else in terms of entertainment.
