New Slot Announcement Vikings by Netent

Oh yeah! Netent Slots are reviewed at Casinomeister - to include their associated casinos! Woo woo!
The game mechanics behind NotEnt or the game mechanics behind Novo.

Essentially which provider would you personally prefer to play.

Would you prefer NotEnts games where the slots play in a volatile manner (Despite not meant to be a volatile provider) and have the majority of slot sessions give you a bonus after 300+ spins and pay you 30x. Or would you rather Novo's games where they are also volatile giving you a bonus after 300 spins that on averge your bonus feature pays 100x+

Because I seriously can not wrap my head around how Notent can be seriously regarded as a decent provider never mind a good one.

Depends... I don't tend to stick to one provider more than others... I take it in a game by game basis.

And remember we are a very small and not necessarily indicative group of players.
 
Glad to hear all of that. Sadly I am going to have to play this at least once as I'm in love with Lagertha :D

You might have read my previous verdicts on Netent games, there was rarely a good one and IMO, rightly so. But I do think that to be a fair reviewer, I have to give credit where it's due. And with Vikings they did IMO produce something quite spectacular, visually and for the win potential. Will we see as many 1,000+ screenshots as with DOA? Time will tell, but I can see it happening rather often as I have the feeling that the best chunk of the RTP is in the Raid Spins.

Well, just got the game sheet while I was typing the post. :D My feeling was right, the Raid Spins have more than a third of the RTP, so there is potential that we will see many wins going past 1,000x bet. For comparison, DOA has only about 25% of the RTP attributed to the Free Spins.
 
If your reason for not liking a provider is "I don't win enough on their shots" despite them having a reasonable trtp then you're just not playing whatever variance you prefer.

Or good old confirmation bias.
 
i had 20 wagerfree and 10 bonus spins on it so far. From 20 spins i got 22 cents. From my the other spins i got... 2 cents ($0,02). At least it looks nice and from my limited funmoney play i thought it doesnt actually look that bad. Then i tried it for said 30 spins and from $6 worth of spins i got $0,24 back.

for gods sake all of their new releases play like they can pay 277777x per spin and have more dead spins than Jammin jars, with 1/1000th of its potential.

I really, really dont ditch slots after just one play and im going to give it another shot later today but with netent this is becoming a norm. I play their new releases once and i have no desire whatsoever to play them again.
 
More volatile than other Not Ent's recent slots. I like the dark layout and theme. RTP (96.05%) could be a tad higher.

Had freespins after some 600 spins and paid nicely. Base game random feature gives 5-30x hits now and then, other than that there really aren't any wins. So it can suck your balance pretty fast until freespins.

Oh is there a feature on this? did few 100s spins only got chance at feature 2times, typical netent just deadspin deadspins aso... when u finally get scatter win from random feature its 2-3x just amazing.
 
As i mentioned in my posts, Vikings is a HV game and the RTP is rather heavily skewed to the Hotspot, Raid Spins and Random Shieldwall features. 88% of 96.05% RTP is in those three features. The plain base game has only 8% of the RTP. Hence, it will be a balance killer when you don't hit a feature regularly. For comparison, DoA has only appr. 25% of the RTP in the free spins.

The free spins should hit on average 1:386 spins, HotSpot in the base game on average 1:19 spins and Random Shieldwall in the base game 1:29 spins.

This is the nature of HV games, take from many to spit out a few huge wins. Just had this result on Moon Princess in the battle - 18.85% RTP :oops: .....So it is not only NetEnt. :oops: :D

Decided to try it out. Played it in fun mode first. Took about 170x ... no features and best hit 32x.

Real money roughly 200 spins and 3 features. They paid 0x , 120x and 1077x.

So far so good.

Btw the 0x said better luck next time :oops:

Yeah the exact same thing Napoleon says on a zero bonus..... Grrrr seen it several times! only slightly better than the " Congratulations you won 0.00 " both are close to monitor smashing moments if you were on a decent stake and had done a fair bit in them.
 
Feature on this is crazy potential, but its brutal and the feature is insanely hard to hit 500-1000spins seems normal without.

Gotten 2 so far 130x and 140x, basegame hit 14 ladys was 160x, but there is a few 1000x + on this already thats rare from a new Netent slot.
 
Whats that vikings logo at this game ? I still havent got even 3 oak of that symbol.. and in roughly 2000 spins ive finally got one feature what paid me 34x bet...
 
It's an ok slot, bonus round is fun but hard as hell to trigger and I have had four bonuses paying under 10x. 700x best win so far.

Huge step up from NetEnt but judging by their promo vids for upcoming slots they're back to their old ways. ;)
