Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded

The Norse warriors are back, and this time they're prepared to really go crazy! Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded is one of the latest slots from Yggdrasil, which was released in September 2021. One of many popular Viking slots, this battle takes place in an icy kingdom where triumphant players could potentially win a prize of up to x25,000.

Yggdrasil has built up a considerable catalogue of top-notch games and never seems short of ideas. However, with Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded, they've returned to their previous 2016 title, Vikings Go Berzerk. But don’t head off to your longboats just yet, as this isn’t just a rehash of the same old thing. By keeping some of the familiar elements and adding a few more, there’s something here for both new and existing fans.

The basics of the slot are exactly as before, with a 5x4 board and 25 fixed paylines. The betting range has been narrowed slightly, still starting with the same min bet of 0.25 but capping it at 50.00 max bet, down from the previous 125.00. This might disappoint high rollers, but the volatility has been cranked up, so there are more opportunities to win the bigger payouts. And with a top prize of x25,000 it's a big jump up from the original, which was limited to just x4000. 

Viking games vary from the humorous and cartoon-like through to dramatic photorealistic graphics, so it's a genre that ticks a lot of boxes. If you remember the original Vikings Go Berzerk, this game will look very familiar as the characters on the reels are identical. They've not aged a day in the last five years - must be all that fresh Nordic air! However, unlike the original, you'll be bracing yourself against a chilly icy landscape.

The low pays on the reels are made up of four different types of coin, while the high pays are the returning four Viking characters. Match three of any on an active payline from left to right to win a prize.

There's help at hand from the wild, which can substitute for any of the regular symbols. As an extra bonus, the wild can sometimes land with a multiplier of x2-x8 to deliver bigger payouts. 

The wild multiplier isn’t the only extra that’s available in Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded. The Rage meter that was in the original doesn’t feature in this version, but you’ll still get to feel the full force of the Viking’s temper - and reap the rewards!

Land three scatters on the reels, and you'll trigger the free spins round. You'll get seven free spins with a varying number of Berzerks - the more Berzerks the better! Every time a Viking appears during the free spins bonus, they'll be battling one of the dastardly sirens. The good news is that if they're Berzerk, they're guaranteed to emerge victoriously. This will transform them into a Sticky Wild, giving you even more chances of winning.

If you're feeling lucky, you can take a chance at the start to try and increase your Berzerks to the maximum of four. There's a 50/50 chance of winning - but you may sacrifice your free spins round if you lose, so think carefully!

On the last reel in the free spins bonus, look out for a treasure chest. If it appears, you could possibly win up to three more free spins, two Sticky Wilds and one more Berzerk, plus a free spin. You could also double your multipliers up to the maximum of x8.

During both the base game and the free spins round, a Ragnarok Spin may appear. This guarantees that all your Vikings will turn into Berzerks, transforming into wilds for a single turn.

If you haven’t managed to land the scatters for free spins, you can cut corners and buy your way in. This will give you seven free spins and two Berzerks - but you can still try for more!

Who doesn't love a good ripping yarn filled with Vikings and violent battles? Vikings Go Berzerk Reloaded is a fun combination of high prizes, risk and feisty characters. Whether you played the original or not, this is another excellent adventure from Yggdrasil that players of all levels of experience will enjoy. Check out this game at Gala Bingo.
