North Guardians Slot by Pragmatic Play
Introduction
The action in this game is driven by a Viking theme and is presented in a very nice way by Pragmatic Play. While the audio-visuals are nothing revolutionary, everything from the gaming grid to the braziers and the snowy scene has a Viking feel.
Gameplay
There are 50 fixed paylines in North Guardians’ 5×5 aligned grid.
The reels feature 11 regular pay symbols that go from left to right. Runic symbols are the low-value symbols, representing 0.48 to 0.8 times stake for five of a kind, with axes, horseshoes, horns, and coins representing 1.2 to 3.6 times stake for five of a kind. A male and female Viking pay 6-10 times the stake for five of a kind as premium symbols. Symbols that look like Odin can be substituted for regular paylines by the wild. You will receive a 15x payout if you land five wilds on a line.
Features
First, let’s talk about North Guardian’s Wild Pattern Wheel. Every time a spin is performed, the positions of two halves of a ‘marking rectangle’ change beneath the regular symbols. The wheel beside the reels spins when both halves land in the same position. ‘Level Up’ means it spins again at the next level, or ‘Pattern’ means it spins again at a given level. In the game grid, wild symbols are added according to the patterns on the wheel. Patterns will be better at higher levels. A wild symbol can fill all five reels in the game, and there are five levels to complete.
A winning combination of 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols awards 5 free spins plus two times, ten times, or 100 times the stake, respectively. Every single spin of the bonus round has a Wild Pattern Wheel active. Level Up results do not reset the wheel after it starts on level 1. Additionally, players receive +2 additional free spins each time they progress to Level 2, 3, or 4. You get +1 free spin when you reach the fifth level.
