FluxPlays verdict
Our verdict
For a patient bonus chaser, yes; for a player who wants action between bonuses, no. Vikings Go Wild's free spins turn every Viking that wins its fight into a WILD that stays to the end, and a Treasure Chest on reel 5 offers a second way in. Our session never reached free spins, so this verdict rests on the rules, and the base game around them is slow.
Who it suits
Play this if…
- Bonus chasers: every Viking that wins its fight in free spins stays WILD to the end
- Series fans: this is the first Vikings Go game, so it shows where the series began
- Learners: the paytable pages explain the fight, the chest and the Wild Reel in a few screens
Skip this if…
- Short-session players: base wins came on fewer than one spin in five for us
- Bonus buyers: the free spins cannot be bought
- Max-win hunters: the rules name no top multiple, and five top Vikings pay only a small multiple of the bet

Vikings Go Wild: Full Review
If you know the later Vikings Go games, this is where Yggdrasil's series began: a 25-line slot whose free spins send every Viking that lands into a fight, and every winner stays on the reels as a WILD until the round ends. It came out in August 2015 with a Low to Medium volatility label from Yggdrasil. It suits patient bonus chasers more than players who want something happening on every spin.

How Vikings Go Wild works
Twenty-five fixed lines run left to right across five reels of four rows, and eight regular symbols pay for three or more in a row from the leftmost reel. The WILD stands in for all of them, though never for the Free Spin ship or the Treasure Chest. Four Vikings make up the top of the paytable, and four coins sit below them.
| Symbol, at a $1.25 bet | 5 | 4 | 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark-haired Viking | $12.50 (10x) | $5.00 (4x) | $1.50 (1.2x) |
| Red-bearded Viking | $11.25 (9x) | $5.00 (4x) | $1.50 (1.2x) |
| Grey-haired Viking | $10.00 (8x) | $3.75 (3x) | $1.25 (1x) |
| Blonde Viking | $8.75 (7x) | $3.75 (3x) | $1.00 (0.8x) |
| Top coin | $4.00 (3.2x) | $1.50 (1.2x) | $0.30 (0.24x) |
| Second coin | $3.50 (2.8x) | $1.50 (1.2x) | $0.30 (0.24x) |
| Third coin | $3.00 (2.4x) | $1.25 (1x) | $0.25 (0.2x) |
| Fourth coin | $2.50 (2x) | $1.25 (1x) | $0.25 (0.2x) |
The rules print these pays in coins, and a line bets one coin, so 25 coins make one bet. Even five of the top Viking returns a modest multiple, which is why the free spins carry this game.

Vikings Go Wild free spins: how they trigger
Three Free Spin ships start 8 free spins, four start 16 and five start 24, all played at the bet that triggered them. The ships cannot retrigger the round. The Treasure Chest on reel 5 is the second way in, as explained below.

The Viking fight and sticky WILDs
During free spins there are no WILD symbols on the reels at all. Instead, each Viking that lands fights a sea creature before the spin pays. A Viking that wins turns into a WILD and sticks to its spot until the round is over, while one that loses stays a Viking. The rules give no odds for the fight.
So the round builds rather than resets: every won fight adds a WILD that is still there for every later spin, which is why the 16 and 24-spin awards matter. That is the part we would play this game for.

The Treasure Chest
A Treasure Chest can land on reel 5 in both parts of the game. In the base game it holds either 8 to 12 free spins or a coin win. In free spins it holds 2 to 4 extra spins, a coin win or a Wild Reel, which turns one of the first four reels WILD until the round is over. Chest coin wins run from 50 to 1,000 coins, so up to 40x the bet.

RTP, volatility and max win
The rules set the RTP at 96.3%, and Yggdrasil's game page gives the same figure. The rules carry no volatility label, so the label here is Yggdrasil's own, Low to Medium. Neither source gives a top win as a multiple of the bet: the provider's page names a cash sum, which depends on the stake, so this page leaves the max win out.

Played on Yggdrasil's public demo (game 10148, reached from yggdrasilgaming.com, no sign-in) on 2 November 2026, in US dollars from an $11,000 demo balance. All 100 spins were at $1.25 (coin value 0.05 x 25 lines), the demo's default: with 25 fixed lines the bet steps run $0.25, $0.50, $0.75, $1.25, so there is no $1.00 bet. The Treasure Chest paid coins twice (spin 10, 175 coins, $8.75 = 7x; spin 45, 150 coins, $7.50 = 6x). The game has no buy, gamble or paid mode. Closing balance $10,935.15 on the server and on screen.
Every spin cost $1.25, because the 25 fixed lines offer no $1 step. Only 19 spins paid, with dry runs of 18 and 13 spins in a row. The Treasure Chest landed twice and paid coins both times, the bigger one 175 coins on spin 10, or $8.75 (7x). The best line round came on spin 64 at $10.75 (8.6x). Three ships never lined up and no chest held spins, so the Viking fights are known to us only from the rules. A hundred spins describe this game's pace, not its return.
Spin 8 settled: $9.25, or 7.4x the bet, from Viking lines through a WILD. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.
Spin 10: the Treasure Chest paid 175 coins, $8.75 at our bet. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.
Is Vikings Go Wild worth playing?
Only if you are willing to wait for the free spins. That round has a real idea in it, Vikings that win their fight and stay as WILDs, and the chest gives it a second door. Between rounds the line game is slow and its biggest pays are small multiples of the bet.
Pick Vikings Creed if you want a Viking slot whose WILD also does something in the base game, walking left one reel per re-spin. Choose Vikings Go Wild for free spins that grow a board of sticky WILDs over the round.
In the demo, read the Treasure Chest page before you start: a chest on reel 5 can hold free spins as well as coins, so it is worth watching every time one lands.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you trigger free spins in Vikings Go Wild?+
Land three Free Spin ships for 8 free spins, four for 16 or five for 24. A Treasure Chest on reel 5 in the base game can also hold 8 to 12 free spins instead of a coin win. The ships cannot retrigger the round, but a chest during it can add 2 to 4 more spins.
How do the sticky wilds work in Vikings Go Wild?+
In free spins, each Viking that lands fights a sea creature before the spin pays. A winner becomes a WILD that stays until the round ends, and a loser stays a Viking. No ordinary WILDs land during free spins, so every WILD there comes from a fight or a chest's Wild Reel.
What is the max win in Vikings Go Wild?+
The game does not give one as a multiple of the bet. Yggdrasil's page names a cash amount, which depends on the stake, and the rules print no cap at all.
