Although the original perception after the early Viking invasion in Britain and Ireland (in the 7th century) was that the Scandinavians were ‘Old Norse pirates’ – plundering villages, destroying farms and looting valuables from churches and monasteries that was not the whole truth about them.
It is believed that besides bloodthirsty raiders and reckless men, they were skilled warriors, artful with metal and wood, experienced sailors and shrewd merchants.
The video game will initially be released for an exclusive number of Microgaming casinos but will be available to a wider audience in a couple of months. It is a quirky mix between classic slot (with cherries, bells, bars and 7’s) and the Scandinavian ginger we mentioned above – stealing the show.
The big nose fella (here a Scatter) starts to holler each time when 3+ land on the reels. It is a sign of good fortune prospects, and you will gladly count more of the funny faces.
Hyper Viking is a part of the ‘Hyper’ series from Florida, (US) based GameBurger Studio, and a full reskin of the previous successes of the same developer:
- 9 Masks of Fire slot – 2019, and
- Playboy Fortunes slot – 2020.
Similarly, the Viking 20 paylines online slot is offered on a playing field with a 5×3 layout, the same betting range between 20 cents and 60 CAD, and retains the same math model with Medium Volatility, lofty hit frequency of almost 40% and 96.24% RTP (by default).
In addition, players can count on the exact maximum prospect here of 2000x the total bet from the Scatter ladder Jackpots (Epic Strike) and even better, 7500x the total bet from the topmost option on the Bonus Wheel played in a single Bonus spin with an x3 Multiplier.

Bonus Features of Hyper Viking slot
- Wilds – The star is the Wild element in the slot. It is generously paid 6.25x/25x/125x the total bet for respectively 3/4/5OAK and stands in for missing regular symbols on any of the 20 paylines.
- Scatters & Free Spins – The Free Spin Scatters can land anywhere on the central reels, and if 3 OAK pop up in view at once, they will initiate the Bonus Wheel selection. Spinning the Wheel will point out:
- The length of your Bonus: 10/12/15/20/25/30 FS and
- The boost that applies to your Bonus: x2 or x3 Multiplier.
- Naturally, the best-case scenario is getting 30 turns with x3 win Multiplier, and re-triggering is quite possible.
- Epic Strike – Einar – the Viking is the Scatter symbol – instrumental to this feature. The redhead can also only appear on the central reels like the FS Scatter. If you land between 3 and 9 Vikings symbols, you will receive a cash prize between 1x and 2000x the total bet. The Scatter ladder is on display all the time (left of the grid), and Viking Jackpots can be obtained during both: the base game and Bonus round.
