Riches of Midgard: Land and Expand

Riches of Midgard: Land and Expand Slot Review

Vikings are objectively an over-saturated slot genre but this isn’t necessarily bad as the games can be easily turned into a fully entertaining experience with the addition of a few mechanics. This is exactly what NetEnt did with this one.

The story takes place outside a Viking village where stone slabs lead all the way into a valley and finally into a rolling tower. The reels appear as parts of the tower but this isn’t all as on top of the 3 main reels of the reel set you can also see a couple of symbols (or 1×1 reels) located at the sides of the tower. The logo of the game can be found near the bottom left corner of the screen written on a wooden sign.

For the most part, the game works like any other classic slot. That is, the reels start spinning altogether and come to stop individually in consecutive order. The game offers symbol transformation features which just adds to the overall entertainment factor.

If Vikings sound like something that’s right up your alley then we recommend you check out Microgaming’s Thunderstruck 2. That said, let’s focus on the subject in question.

How to Play Riches of Midgard: Land and Expand

The game has 3 rows and 3 reels but can increase up to a total of 7 rows during the bonus feature. The number of paylines can also increase from 9 to 29. The controls are found below the main reel set allowing the player to increase their bet size, enable the autoplay feature, spin, or access the in-game menu for further customization options.

Symbols-wise, the game features 5 low paying and 5 high paying symbols. The first are represented by card values 10-A while the latter come in the form of a ham drumstick, an air horn, a female, and two male Vikings.

The slot’s special symbols are:

• Wild – The slot’s wild symbol can only appear on the left hot spot reel during the free spins feature. It matches all other symbols on the main reel set.
• Scatter – Represented by a hammer, getting 3 of these will trigger the free spins feature. 

Riches of Midgard: Land and Expand Features

Due to the game’s main 3 reels, it can take some time before you activate one of the bonus features as the scatter has to appear on the reels. Luckily, free spins aren’t the only feature this game has to offer. Let’s take a closer look at each of them.
