Vikings Go Berzerk is a 2016 Yggdrasil slot and part of its Vikings Go series. Four Vikings fight sea sirens across a 5x4 grid with 25 paylines, and each Viking has a rage meter that fills in the base game. When a meter is full, that Viking goes berserk in the free spins and becomes a sticky wild. It suits players who enjoy progression mechanics and a lively free spins round.
How does Vikings Go Berzerk work?
The game uses five reels and four rows with 25 paylines, paying from left to right. The four Vikings are the top symbols, and a wild substitutes for everything except the siren scatter.
Each Viking has a rage meter above the reels. Every time a Viking is part of a winning line in the base game, his meter fills a little. The meters carry over into the free spins and decide which Vikings can go berserk.
Treasure chests can also appear on the reels and award coin prizes, wilds or extra spins, with bigger rewards more likely during the bonus.
What are the Vikings Go Berzerk bonus features?
Three sirens award 7 free spins, four award 14 and a full line of five awards 21. During the round, any Viking whose rage meter is full enters Berzerk Mode. When that Viking defeats a siren, he becomes a sticky wild for the rest of the round.
Ragnarok is a random event before or during free spins that puts all Vikings into Berzerk Mode at once, and it can add extra spins or treasure chests. A round where several Vikings turn into sticky wilds early is how the best results are reached.
Is Vikings Go Berzerk worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
Yggdrasil lists the RTP at 96.1%, which is around average. Casinos can sometimes run alternative RTP settings, so check the paytable.
Yggdrasil rates the volatility as medium to high. Yggdrasil gives the maximum win as a cash figure of €93,910, rather than a multiple of the stake, and another site lists a different cash amount. The game feels steadier than many modern high volatility slots, with the free spins providing the bigger swings.
Tips before you play Vikings Go Berzerk
- Check the RTP at your casino in the game information before you deposit.
- Try the demo first if you have not played a Vikings Go game before.
- Rage meters build over many base game wins, so a very short session rarely fills them.
- Treasure chests pay more often in the bonus, so the free spins are where most of the value sits.
- The best free spins come when several Vikings are already enraged, so watch the meters before the bonus lands.
- Use the demo to see how the meters fill at your stake level.
