Worlds Collide Beautifully in Microgaming Slot

The world is full of unlikely combinations that often work out far better than we think they should, and online game development company Just For The Win has recently brought another one into existence. The new game, which was created exclusively for Microgaming, is called Tiki Vikings, and its basic premise is that a band of Viking brothers who have spent some time vacationing in Hawaii have now returned home, bringing their favourite parts of Tiki culture back with them.

Five Reels of Icy Sunshine!

Tiki Vikings is a five-reel slot which has twenty pay lines. The reels, which are fashioned from wood and encased in a Tiki-style frame, are presented against the cold backdrop of the Scandinavian tundra. The symbols on those reels include the playing card ranks J, Q, K and A, a Tiki Vikings logo and a variety of Viking characters with flowers in their hair and beards.

All symbols used in this game are illustrated in a humorous cartoon style, and the soundtrack accentuates the bizarre combination of Tiki and Viking by mashing Hawaiian music with rhythmic percussion that evokes images of the men rowing their longboat across the oceans.

Symbol Lock Re-spin

Whenever you land a winning combination of the highest-paying symbols (namely, the Viking characters or the Tiki Vikings logo) you will trigger a Symbol Lock Re-Spin feature. This will freeze the winning symbols in place before re-spinning the reels in an effort to find more of them. Additional symbols of the same type will also be frozen, and the re-spin feature will continue until no more of the same symbols appear.

If you get enough symbols for three of these spins to occur in a row, a Symbol Upgrade will be triggered, which will upgrade all of your locked symbols to the next symbol of greater value. This makes it potentially possible for you to fill all reel positions on the reels with the same high-value symbol.

A Highly Original Slot Game

‘Just For The Win have delivered yet another entertaining and highly original slot game,’ said James Buchanan, Director of Global Operations at Microgaming. ‘Tiki Vikings merges two popular themes to great effect, providing players with a colourful and fun base game, boosted with excellent bonus mechanics. The Symbol Lock Re-spin and Symbol Upgrade features add a tremendous sense of energy and momentum to the gameplay, offering the potential for huge rewards.’

Johan Persson, who is CEO at Just For The Win, said: ‘Tiki Vikings is a wacky mashup that’s particularly close to our hearts here at Just For The Win. We’ve had a blast putting together a cast of grumpy but loveable Viking characters. They’re all fresh from an awesome tropical vacation, and they’ve brought the relaxed, sun-kissed Tiki vibes back home to the icy Scandinavian tundra. Naturally, our bearded friends’ Hawaiian party keeps freezing in the frosty climate – luckily for players, that means the potential for big wins!’
