volatile vikings 2 dream drop slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

I have lost count of the number of high-quality online slots I have played that have the Vikings as their primary theme. Just in the last year or two, we have seen impressive new games such as Book of Vikings (Pragmatic Play), Queen of the Vikings (Skywind), and Story of Vikings (Spinomenal), not to mention the more established games from the likes of NetEnt and Yggdrasil. In short, this hugely popular theme often goes hand in hand with the similarly popular Norse gods theme. Whilst Volatile Vikings doesn’t do anything tremendously impressive in the presentation department – the symbols don’t even strike me as obviously Viking-based – Relax has seemingly done their best to balance things by giving the game some enormous jackpot prizes.

The unusual scatter-pays mechanic of Volatile Vikings 2 means you need to hit twelve matching symbols anywhere on the screen to win the biggest prizes. The highest-paying symbol is a red mask with a return of 50x your bet for 12, 25x your bet for 10, or 10x your bet for 8. The lion mask takes second place, paying 25x your bet for the maximum combination of 12, followed by the green mask at 15x, the purple mask at 12x, and the blue mask at 10x. There are four more lower-paying symbols designated by runes which look to be carved into pieces of wood but are most easily recognised by their much smaller appearance in comparison to the mask symbols. In addition to the scatter-pays mechanic, wins are removed from the reels immediately after landing. This means that you can potentially win several times from a single paid spin, and I often found that a single win would regularly turn into two, three, or perhaps even more whilst I was testing the game.

The betting range in Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop begins at a minimum of €0.20 per spin and maxes out at €100.00. There is a secondary concern when playing progressive jackpot games in that the more you wager, the higher your chances are of hitting the progressive jackpot bonus game. This becomes even more important as you begin to close in on the maximum jackpot amounts; take the MEGA jackpot, for example, which “must hit” before it reaches ten million Euros. If the current figure is more than 9.8 million Euros, you would be perfectly justified in betting more than you otherwise would because of the significantly increased chance of hitting the jackpot. You should never bet more than you are comfortable with or more than you can afford – that rule never changes – but if you are going to play a game such as this close to the jackpot ceilings, it might be wise to consider increasing your stake.

base game & modifiers

We haven’t touched on many aspects of the regular base game in the Volatile Vikings 2 slot game before now; I feel sure that the excitement of those five monster progressive jackpots would be enough to steal the attention of every slot machine fanatic, not just myself! 

The jackpots are fantastic, of course, but the base game also deserves plenty of attention. The game takes place on a massive 6x5 playfield, which seems to be a necessary feature for a game that gives away its prizes without any kind of pay lines or pay ways as a structure.

Relax has taken those familiar methods of determining winning combinations and thrown them away when creating Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop, opting instead to determine winnings based simply on the number of matching symbols which appear anywhere in view. 

This unusual payout mechanic requires at least eight matching symbols on the screen to receive a prize, with the largest winnings requiring at least 12 identical symbols before they are awarded. With 30 spaces available each round, there is a chance to hit two or three different winning collections of symbols from a single paid spin.
