The Wombat says: Gigantic muscles, lightning storms and wickedly human gods – sounds familiar? And no, it’s not another Friday night at Wombat Towers…And it’s not the Age of Spartans slot from Genii (although that’s also worth a go).
It’s the Champions of Valhalla slot, hot off the blocks from Eyecon Gaming and set in Viking heaven – so get ready for some Norse high-jinks and mayhem.
Look and Feel
Fans of Eyecon games will be familiar with first-rate graphics and this icy slice of Viking adventure is no exception.
Your gaming is set in a snowy landscape, the scene of a recent and devastating battle – fire meets ice! And since the atmosphere is ominous and cold, this wombat is chucking on an extra Hawaiian shirt and my fave flip flops.
The reels are set in a heavy stone frame with the statutes of Viking gods and a strange unearthly light. It’s eerie stuff. As for the soundtrack? It’s as epic as you’d imagine…
Wombat Fans: it’s a mythically good-looking game! There are more pecs on these symbols than you´ll find on the Rise of Olympus slot from Play’n GO.. OK, maybe not quite, but you get my drift.
Jackpot Version
There is also a version of this game called the Champions of Valhalla Jackpot slot as it has a progressive jackpot.
The game includes the two special features that you get in the standard version of the game (see below for details), plus three nice looking jackpots are up for grabs, known as the Mini, the Maxi, and the Mega. No need for me to explain which one is the biggest!
Champions of Valhalla Game Play
This Nordic-themed slot is played out over 3 rows and 5 reels. You’ll also notice that there are no standard pay-lines in this blood-thirsty title – it’s a ‘243 Ways to Win’ game. If you prefer a pay-line game then we´d recommend the Ring of Odin slot from Play’n GO which has 10 lines and is another one of our Nordic games.
Your symbols on the reels include a gnarly faced Odin; the king of the Nordic gods and one angry looking bloke. But, this aggro character is worth a mega 500 coins for 5x on a pay line and is the highest value icon in Champions of Valhalla slot.
Odin’s got himself some eye-candy as as sidekick. Look out for blonde goddess, Freydis, who could take on mankind ( or even a marsupial), at a moment’s notice. Then there’s a fighter called Berserker, who looks like a sword-wielding maniac.
This deadly trio make up the Champions of Valhalla…
Your low-value symbols include: a Viking longboat, an axe, crossed swords, a fighting hammer, and a drinking horn and helmet.
The wild in this slot is the purple icon with ‘Wild’ on it, meanwhile, a golden statue of a Nordic god is the Scatter which paves the way to the Free Spins. FYI: this cheeky little symbol only lands on the middle 3 reels.
Keep your eyes peeled for a mysterious rune symbol, too. When this lands on the middle reel is brings a little magic…
Free Spins and Bonus Features
Free Spins
Get your furry paws on 9x free spins if you land 3x or more Scatters on the reels. Landing a further 3x Scatters will re-trigger the feature too.
Block Wilds
If the mysterious rune icon hits the middle reel, a crazy weather event springs into action. Watch, as lightning crashes into the third reel and transforms whole blocks into lucrative Wilds.
Oh yes, and did we mention that these Wilds can land in crazy 3 x 3 for formations? It’s the way to big wins my slot-loving pals.
Conclusion
Champions of Valhalla slot is knock out with more than just glossy good looks. Slot mayhem is unleashed with the Block of Wilds feature and the tasty free spins game is a breeze to re-trigger. We like.
Take your place in Asgard and get ready unleash your inner Viking!
