Vikings of Fortune Slot

Blueprint Gaming heads back in time to the frozen mountains of Scandinavia in Viking of Fortunes. It’s a 5 reel, 25 payline game that features high spec design and a couple of cracking extras. The highlight is the bonus round where you can win up to 100 free streak spins. Play from between 25p and £125 per spin. 



A range of snow-capped hills form the backdrop to the reels here. There isn’t any playing card filler on view either, all of the symbols relate to the Norse theme - you’ll see swords, shields and axes, horns, helmets and longships as well as Norse gods and goddesses. The most rewarding of these will get you 20 times your stake for a 5-symbol combination.

Joining the standard wild, which awards 4, 20 or 400 times your stake per payline, is the Thunder Streak wild. When this hits on the central reel, it expands to turn the whole of that reel wild. The Thunder Streak feature is triggered with a re-spin following with any winning combination on show held. The re-spins carry on as long as a symbol that matches the original combination hits. A payout follows after a spin without a match or you fill the whole screen.

Look out too for the Bonus symbol - land 3 or more on the same spin to trigger the Bonus Thunder feature - the Bonus symbols are held and a re-spin is awarded. These continue until there’s a spin where no new Bonus symbol lands. You’ll then be awarded your free Thunder Spins, the precise number depends on the number of Bonus symbols you get:

  • 3 Bonus symbols = 8 Thunder Spins
  • 4 Bonus symbols = 10 Thunder Spins
  • 5 Bonus symbols = 12 Thunder Spins
  • 6 Bonus symbols = 15 Thunder Spins
  • 7 Bonus symbols = 20 Thunder Spins
  • 8-9 Bonus symbols = 50 Thunder Spins
  • 10+ Bonus symbols = 100 Thunder Spins

A stacked wild is ever-present throughout this bonus feature, meaning that the Thunder Streak re-spins are in play every time you hit a winner. Look out for the Jackpot King overlay symbol landing on reels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 as this will win you the Jackpot King progressive jackpot.

The undoubted highlight here are the streak spins. Trigger the streak and land a high value winning combination and some excellent results are possible. Expect some lengthy winless spells in between the streaks though.

Like many slot games from Blueprint Gaming, the design in Vikings of Fortune is excellent. The symbols are detailed and sharp and the orchestral score is a fine complement. Combined with the excellent features and this Norse adventure is a very playable proposition. If you like Norse mythology, you should try Microgaming’s Thunderstruck II which is a classic.
