Viking’s Treasure Video Slot Review
Viking’s Treasure Slot takes players on aourney through the adventures and conquests of the Vikings over the Northmen. It celebrates their achievements and victories: “The true tale of the Vikings has always fascinated man. The Vikings traveled further than Europeans had ever gone before. They exploited the riches of the East, explored the uncharted waters of the North Atlantic, settled as farmers in Greenland and discovered America five hundred years before Columbus.” (Net Entertainment).
So jump aboard the Viking dragon boat, join the warrior crew and get ready to claim your riches with this dark adventure. A 2006 release, this older slot features 5 reels, 3 rows, and 15 flexible betlines, Free Spins, Multipliers, Scatter and Wilds.
Players are limited to turning off either the ambient background track or sound effects and setting auto play only. The graphics are definitely a product of their time, and so, whilst clean cut and thoroughly Viking themed, not so impressive by modern standards. The sound effects help gel the theme together somewhat as they add dark mystery, deep, powerful laughter and the clanking and creaking of the Viking dragon boat to Viking’s Treasure Slot
Bonus Features, Symbols and Paytable
Scatter: The Scatter is a Viking’s Hand clasping riches and jewels. The Scatter has paytable worth, rewards Free Spins and multiplier. 3+ Scatter= 15 Free Spins with x3 Multiplier. 5 Scatter on a winning bet line are worth 500 coins.
Wild: The Wild symbol is a Warrior Viking. He substitutes for all other symbols except a Scatter to achieve higher winning bet lines. Additionally all wins using a Wild are doubled and it has huge paytable worth. This is the highest worth symbol in the whole slot.

The other main symbols of Viking’s Treasure Slot are all well valued for 5 symbol combinations.

Overall thoughts
Viking’s Treasure Slot, doesn’t achieve the narrative exploration it aims for, due to the limited graphics, it could easily be revamped as a video slot that would dazzle players, however this may compromise the excellent Scatter and Wild, the likes of which we no longer see from NetEnt casino. This is a great old school slot, from a time when the paytable was valued more highly and things were less about the frills, it doesn’t boast huge wins, but it a great play and offers a nice break from the modernity and complexity of modern slots. Give this slot a chance and have a Viking adventure on the reels.
