Tiki Vikings Slot

Have you ever imagined a fierce Viking on holiday? Well, Tiki Vikings slot by Microgaming presents a team of 3 Viking warriors having a time of their life in Hawaii. The Viking-holiday theme of this slot is characterized by the main heroes being dressed up for the beach. They have flowers in their hair and beard, flowery necklaces and beach shirts and shorts. In the slot’s intro clip, you’ll see their boat in the background with surfboards, pineapples and flowers. You’ll also not fail to see their mood of happiness and excitement, which makes it clear that they are indeed on holiday.

Tiki Vikings comes with 5 reels and 3 rows that appear to be set up on a bamboo wall covered with leaves and snow at the top and bottom. There are 20 paylines that are fixed, meaning that a gamer has to stake on all of them in each spin. The slot, launched in August of 2019, is popular among NZ gambling enthusiasts. 

How to Play Tiki Vikings

This slot has 20 fixed paylines. Therefore, gamers have to bet on each and every line during a round of spinning. The minimum and maximum bets are 0.1 and 250 coins for a spin. This range makes the game affordable for low-budget casino gamers and exciting for high-risk takers. Player can increase or decrease the amount they’ll use to place their bet on the control panel.

There are 3 classes of symbols that one will come across. These are:

• Low-paying icons – these are the K, Q, J and A. 
• High-paying icons – characterised by the 3 Vikings on holiday
• Wild – represented by the Tiki Vikings symbol.

Bonus Features

The pokie lacks the usual scatter symbol bonuses but has great re-spin and symbol upgrade features that work as follows:

1. Symbol-lock re-spins

This feature is activated when a win is achieved by the high-paying symbols. The winning icons are locked, and a re-spin is awarded. Each icon similar to the winning ones is also locked. During the re-spin, if symbols similar to the locked ones come into play, they are also locked and another re-spin is awarded. With no other locked icon, the feature comes to an end, and a payout is given. With every spin that gives a locked symbol, a Symbol Upgrade meter increases by a step.

1. Symbol upgrade

Symbols are upgraded when locked, and the upgrade meter fills up. At this point, the locked icons are upgraded to the next icon of more value, but this cannot happen to the wild, as it’s already the highest-value symbol.

1. Wild substitutions

The Tiki Vikings icon is the wild. Its bonus feature is that of substituting icons and increasing a player’s chances of getting a winning combination.

Winning with the Vikings

This slot has a low to medium variance. Players can expect multiple small wins as opposed to huge payouts. In fact, there’s no progressive jackpot. The highest possible win is that of 75000 coins. This huge win comes from the wild and is as a result of a multiplier of 300X. Symbols pay with multipliers from a minimum of 3 matched icons to a maximum of 5 matched ones. The multipliers per icon are as follows:

• A maximum of 15X for the Tiki Vikings symbol
• At most 7.5X, 5X and 3.5X for the three Vikings
• The lowest win is a multiplier of 0.8X for the low-paying symbols.
