Lightning Box Games Heads Back In Time To Release Their Latest Slot!

An American comic strip that was created by Dik Browne and continued by his son Chris Browne is a loose interpretation and caricature of the Viking Age Scandinavian life. When it first appeared in February 1973, it was an instant hit. The comic strip that we are talking about is H?gar the Horrible (pronounced Hay-gar). Why are we talking about it? Because the latest video slot released by Lightning Box Games is set in the same Viking Age era.

The slot that is releasing today, Viking Fire has a Viking character that wields a huge hammer standing on the left of the reels. Both the comic strip as well as the slot is a light-hearted take of the Viking culture and life.

This is why we were instantly reminded of H?gar and his family as well as his antics from the popular comic strip.

Viking Fire Slot Information That Will Help You Play Better!

The Viking Fire slot has five reels and 40 pay lines. Accessible via tablets, mobiles and desktops, the minimum amount that you can wager is 50p per spin, while the maximum amount is a staggering ￡1,250. In keeping with the Viking theme, if you’re able to sink longships, you’ll reveal extra free spins and additional wild symbols.

Set in a classic Viking village, you’ll notice the green fields and hills in the backdrop make for a pleasing experience. The wooden structure where the symbols make their appearance blends in well with the theme. The usual symbols that appear regularly are a dog, Viking king, wizard and a sword-wielding Viking princess. The playing cards – 9,10, J, Q and K also form a part of the regular symbols. The Nordic folk soundtrack too complements the slot well.

The Special Symbols of Viking Fire Slot

The hammer is the wild symbol and is able to substitute all the symbols expect the scatter symbol. If the wild symbol is part of the winning combination, it doubles the outcome. Five wild symbols on a pay line results in a 1,500x of the line stake win. Usually the Viking king can give you 750x your line stake amount, but if a wild symbol is involved, it doubles up. So, effectively 750x becomes a neat 1,500x!

Like most slot games, the scatter symbol is the one that usually triggers the Free Games feature. Same goes for Viking Fire slot, the scatter symbol is quite evident with ‘Bonus’ written across a fiery ball. Three or more scatter symbols will activate the Free Games feature. However, if you’re able to land five of them on a pay line, you’ll be rewarded with 2,000x of your line stake amount.

The Free Games feature will take you to a new game screen where you can pick targets to reveal extra free spins or additional wild symbols. You’ll be able to reveal +2 free spins, +1 free spin, wild wizard, wild princess, wild Viking or an ‘X’. The picking stage ends until you reveal two ‘X’. Once this stage is done, the free spins will begin.

You also have the option to gamble your winnings. At the end of each winning combination, you’ll be presented with an opportunity to play the gamble round. If you select the right colour of the playing card, your winnings will be multiplied by two.

But if you’re able to guess the correct colour of the playing card, then your winnings will be multiplied by four.
