Play Le Viking Slot Game

Smokey the raccoon has survived the Wild West and ancient Egypt, so naturally Le Viking sends him straight into the Viking Age. Hacksaw Gaming builds this chapter on a 6x5 grid with 15,625 ways, where Coins, Diamonds, Clovers and Magic Cauldrons eventually take over from the regular symbols. Among Heart Bingo’s online slots, this one stands out for four increasingly stronger Free Spins modes and a Raid Spins feature based on sticky cash symbols, multipliers and refilling lives. 

Le Viking gives Smokey a Norse makeover, complete with Viking clothing, a coastal settlement and a longship sitting behind the reels. Wooden huts and harbour scenery establish the setting, while weapons including crossbows, axes, swords and hammers make up the higher value symbols. Smokey remains parked beside the grid, still looking rather pleased with himself despite being several centuries away from anywhere sensible. 

The cartoon style keeps the atmosphere light rather than turning the Viking setting into grim historical drama. Bright colours, chunky symbols and lively animations fit the established visual identity of the series, while the soundtrack adds a rhythmic Norse flavour. 

Compared with plenty of Viking themed titles found at online casinos, the raccoon gives this one a less serious personality. Apparently shouting “Bonjour” in medieval Scandinavia raises no questions here. 

The card ranks occupy the lower end of the paytable, while Viking weapons and equipment carry larger potential values. Potential combinations start with three matching symbols and can extend across all six reels.

• Coin: Bronze, Silver and Gold Coins appear in Raid Spins and the Free Spins modes. Their potential values depend on the Coin type, with Gold Coins carrying the larger range.
• Diamond: Diamonds sit above the regular Coins in value and can reveal potential cash values from x150 to x500 of the bet once the feature resolves.
• Green Clover: Green Clovers apply potential multipliers of x2, x3, x4, x5, x10 or x20 to Coins and Diamonds on adjacent positions.
• Gold Clover: Gold Clovers use the same multiplier range but apply the effect to qualifying Coins and Diamonds across the entire grid.
• FS Scatter: Three, four, five or six FS symbols activate different versions of the Free Spins feature.
• Magic Cauldron: Cauldrons appear during the Free Spins modes and collect Coins, Diamonds and previous Cauldrons after applicable Grid Multipliers and Clover effects have been calculated.
• Heart: Heart symbols increase the maximum number of available lives during a Free Spins feature by one, up to five.

Raid Spins 

Landing six Coins of any type together in the base game activates Raid Spins. The regular paying symbols disappear, leaving dead symbols, Coins, Diamonds and Clovers on the board. 

The feature begins with 3 lives. Each respin consumes one, but landing a Coin, Diamond or Clover resets the available lives to 3. All qualifying feature symbols remain sticky throughout the round. 

Once no lives remain, the stored Coins and Diamonds reveal their potential values. Bronze Coins can reveal x0.2, x0.5, x1, x2, x3 or x4. Silver Coins use x5, x10, x15 or x20, while Gold Coins use x25, x50 or x100. Diamonds can reveal x150, x250 or x500. 

After those values appear, the Green and Gold Clovers activate their multiplier effects before the potential total is calculated. 

Green and Gold Clovers 

Green Clovers multiply qualifying Coins and Diamonds positioned directly beside them. Each Clover can carry x2, x3, x4, x5, x10 or x20. 

Gold Clovers use the same possible multiplier values but affect all Coins and Diamonds currently on the grid rather than neighbouring positions alone. 

This distinction becomes particularly important when several higher value Coins or Diamonds survive until the end of Raid Spins. 

Berserk Free Spins 

Three FS Scatters activate Berserk Free Spins with 3 refilling lives. Each triggering Scatter position receives a sticky x2 Grid Multiplier that remains there until the feature ends. 

Coins, Diamonds and Clover symbols become sticky after landing. Magic Cauldrons can then collect these symbols after Grid Multipliers and Clovers have applied their effects. 

Each spin consumes one life, while any non dead symbol refills the total to 3. Heart symbols can permanently increase the current maximum by one, with up to 5 lives available. 

When a Magic Cauldron lands, Grid Multipliers and Clovers within its area become active. Coins, Diamonds and earlier Cauldrons are then collected into the newest Cauldron. Each Cauldron can perform this collection once. 

Valkyrie Free Spins 

Four FS Scatters activate Valkyrie Free Spins. 

The underlying rules remain the same as Berserk Free Spins, but the four triggering positions begin with sticky x3 Grid Multipliers instead of x2. Coins, Diamonds, Clovers, Hearts and Magic Cauldrons continue to interact through the same collection system. 

Ragnarok Free Spins 

Five FS Scatters trigger Ragnarök Free Spins with five sticky Grid Multipliers already positioned on the board. 

Each begins at x5. The rest of the feature retains the refilling lives, sticky cash symbols, Clovers, Hearts and Magic Cauldron collection mechanics used in the previous modes. 

Journey to Valhalla Free Spins 

Six FS Scatters activate Journey to Valhalla Free Spins, the strongest starting setup of the four modes. 

Six sticky Grid Multipliers enter the round at x10, one for each triggering Scatter position. Bronze and Silver Coins are also removed from this version, leaving only the stronger Coin types and Diamonds among the cash symbols. 

The same Magic Cauldron and Clover rules still apply, but the reduced Coin pool and larger starting multipliers give this mode a substantially different opening position.

Le Viking uses 6 reels and 5 rows with 15,625 ways to form potential combinations. Matching symbols need to appear on adjacent reels from left to right, beginning with reel 1. At least three matching symbols are required. 

The regular ways structure disappears once Raid Spins or one of the Free Spins modes begins. Feature symbols then become the focus, with sticky Coins, Diamonds, Clovers and Grid Multipliers remaining on the board while the life counter controls how long the round continues. 

A qualifying symbol refreshes the lives, while dead symbols do nothing. This creates a stop and refill rhythm where the objective shifts from forming standard combinations to keeping the feature alive long enough for multipliers and Cauldrons to affect the stored values. 

These three online slots are the closest comparisons, all three come from Viking themes and similarly busy adventure mechanics. 

• Vikings Go Berzerk: A Viking setting, cartoon characters and feature driven play make this a natural thematic comparison. 
• Viking Runecraft 100: Norse imagery and a more unconventional grid system put this title in similar territory for players who prefer Viking games with more going on than standard paylines. 
• Pirots 5: The Egyptian setting is very different, but moving collectors, numerous interacting symbols and a sizeable feature system make the overall mechanical density surprisingly comparable. 

Le Viking gives us a deceptively cheerful Viking raid. Smokey looks like he's having a perfectly pleasant holiday, while the feature system is busy multiplying Coins, storing Diamonds and feeding everything into Cauldrons. 

Raid Spins are straightforward enough, but the four Free Spins modes create a clear progression. We particularly like how the starting Grid Multipliers become stronger with each extra Scatter rather than simply adding more spins to the same feature. Journey to Valhalla also changes the symbol pool, which gives the top mode more identity. 

There is quite a bit to learn once Cauldrons, Clovers, Grid Multipliers and refilling lives start interacting. Players who prefer a very simple bonus round may find the system busy. For anyone who enjoys collection mechanics and features that build on one another, the Viking expedition has considerably more substance than Smokey's grin suggests.
