Pragmatic Play expands mythology-themed slots portfolio with Viking Forge

iGaming content provider Pragmatic Play has unveiled its newest slot game, Viking Forge. Set in a Valhalla-inspired realm, Viking Forge immerses players in a 6×5 reel game, characterized by a rugged landscape and an assortment of weaponry, mead, and horns. To secure a win, players need eight or more matching symbols, which also triggers the cascading wins feature and causes additional icons to descend onto the reels.

The coin collection feature is a constant presence in both the base game and the bonus round. It randomly attaches to symbols, offering a multiplier value or a cash prize when part of a winning combination.

When four or more scatters appear, the free spins round is initiated, granting players a minimum of 10 free games. Unlike the base game, all coin values are accumulated during this round, rather than being awarded after each tumble, potentially leading to wins of up to 10,000x.

In select jurisdictions, Viking Forge offers an Ante Bet and Buy Bonus mode for players seeking a quicker path to the bonus round. This title also incorporates the "pays anywhere" mechanic, a hallmark of Pragmatic Play's games such as Gates of Olympus and Sugar Rush.

“Our mythological games have proven time and again to be fan favorites, and we’re combining that with the ever-popular cascading wins mechanic in our latest creation, Viking Forge," Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said.

"Adding in a coin collection feature that can either award cash prizes or multipliers ensures fans of numerous game styles can embrace the Norse genre and enjoy a thrilling gaming experience."

The company had released a Viking-themed slot game called Pub Kings in August. Ancient stone structures and monuments form the backdrop for the game, featuring Nordic warriors on a 5x4 grid. It features 20 paylines and significant winning opportunities in the base gameplay, notes the supplier.

Its most recent release is Starlight Princess 1000, a follow-up to player-favorite Starlight Princess that now boasts a multiplier of up to 1,000x. The artwork features colorful gems that appear on a 5x6 game grid, alongside the Starlight Princess herself standing adjacent to the reels.
