Pragmatic Play unveils Viking-themed slot game Pub Kings with buildable bonus round

iGaming content provider Pragmatic Play has released a new Viking-themed slot game called Pub Kings. Ancient stone structures and monuments form the backdrop for the new game, featuring Nordic warriors on a 5x4 grid. It features 20 paylines and significant winning opportunities in the base gameplay, notes the supplier.

Players may find scatter symbols emerging on reels one, three, and five. When two such symbols land on the board, a random reward of up to 5000x gets activated. By landing three scatter symbols, players are awarded a bonus round featuring 10 free spins.

A special pub collector progress bar features in the bonus, counting all high-paying symbols after each spin with multipliers corresponding to each Viking. The values of each increase incrementally the more players collect. At the round’s end, the multiplier attached to the most collected symbol is added to any wins.

“Pub Kings brews up a blend of entertaining features and a light, jovial theme, complete with multifaceted mechanics that are easily understood making it perfect for player acquisition and retention,” Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said.

“The game also offers more complex play with solid prizes in the form of exciting random awards and a buildable bonus round that ramps up anticipation to thrill and entertain even the most established players.”

Pub Kings joins Pragmatic Play's iGaming portfolio, following recent releases of titles like Piggy Bankers and Rocket Blast Megaways. Earlier this month, the company unveiled a new cluster-paying online slot game called Diamond Cascade. It also recently invited players on a "fanciful adventure filled with seafaring folklore" in Kraken’s Sky Bounty, its latest pirate adventure-themed slot release.

The company releases up to eight online slot titles each month, while also offering a selection of live casino, virtual sports, and bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio. All these offerings are accessible through a single API.
