Vikings Conquering the Online Casino Landscape

Posted by

At some point over the past few years, the world developed an obsessive and seemingly random interest in Viking culture. All of a sudden, the whole Viking theme made its mark on popular culture and became a shared passion for millions of people.

Unsurprisingly, it’s a trend that was fully exploited by a wide variety of industries and sectors worldwide. Not least of which being the Norwegian travel and tourism sector, which right now is inviting adventurous types from all over the world ‘to go Viking’ with an entirely different type of weekend break.

Away from this, one of the biggest sectors to take full advantage of the popularity of Viking culture has been the online casino gaming market. Each time there’s something making waves in popular culture, you can bet it will turn up in the form of various online slots.

The Undisputed Market Leader

In this instance, Yggdrasil Gaming has more or less claimed a lucrative niche segment of the market as its own. It’s not that there aren’t plenty of Viking themed slots available elsewhere – there are (literally) thousands of them.

Instead, it’s the way in which these guys have hit the nail on the head with what players really want that has made them the undisputed a market leader.

For example, you have iconic titles like Vikings Go Wild where you have an RTP of 96.3%, which is not too shabby. Combined with just the right volatility level, it’s the ultimate crowd pleaser for anyone who has an interest in all-things Nordic. 

Then you have the iconic and supremely popular Vikings go to Hell with its four reels, 25 paylines and fantastic sticky wilds feature. Variable wagers, big wins on the table and the kind of immersive gameplay that has you hooked hopelessly for hours on end…in a good way. 

Rounding out the trio of top titles from these guys is the quintessential classic that is Vikings Go Berzerk. Equally enjoyable on all types of mobile and desktop devices, Vikings Go Berzerk caused a major stir at the time of its launch and has been doing so ever since. Gorgeously presented, easy to get into and with a soundtrack you’ll have stuck in your head for days, well…what’s not to like?

Choosing a Casino Without Getting Plundered

The popularity of these three titles is such that they’re available at the overwhelming majority of online casinos. This translates to (again literally) thousands of places to find them and thousands of casinos you could choose to do business with.

However, if you want to make the most of your Viking money – or whatever money you decide to bring to the table – you need to be strategic in your selection. The last thing you want is to find yourself getting plundered, as opposed to making the most of your bankroll.

This is where a few simple tips and guidelines from the pros can help. Just as long as you prioritise the following when choosing an online casino, you’ve little else to worry about:

Licensing and Regulation.  Under no circumstances is it advisable to sign up or play with an online casino that is not licensed and regulated. And by that, we mean licensed and regulated by a respected gaming authority – not some random ‘regulator’ you don’t know from a country you’ve never heard of.

Bonuses and Promos.  It simply makes sense to take your cash to a casino that offers you something generous in return. Bonuses and promotions are available at all online casinos, but not all bonuses and promotions are worth bothering with. Always read the T&Cs in full, being wary of anything that looks (and therefore most probably is) too good to be true.

Gaming Variety.  Always prioritise quality over quantity when considering the games available at an online casino. After all, it’s irrelevant how many games are available if there’s nothing in the mix to suit your tastes. Quantity matters for obvious reasons, but should always take a backseat to quality.

Payment Policies.  For the most part, this is about two things – making sure the casino supports your preferred payment method and ensuring you are not charged each time you perform a transaction. In addition, check the minimum and maximum deposit and withdrawal restrictions outlined by the casino.

Mobile Experience.  If you plan on playing Viking-themed slots primarily by way of a mobile device, be sure to put the casino through its paces beforehand.  Ensure you are happy with the interface, the responsiveness of the site and how the whole thing works when playing your preferred games.

Play for Free.  Speaking of which, don’t forget that you should be able to try out a whole bunch of games at an online casino for free, prior to signing up and depositing funds in your account. This is probably the best way of getting a feel for how the whole thing works, in order to determine whether or not it’s worth going ahead.

Reviews and Recommendations.  Last but not least, it is essential to establish the reputation and stature of an online casino before signing up. Always check real-life customer reviews and recommendations, along with those of trusted independent experts. 

In Summary…

The whole Viking craze is clearly here to stay, so you may as well let yourself get swept away by the whole thing. And for the record, it’s not to say you have to stick exclusively to the three big-time Viking slots outlined above. 

Playing the field holds the key to finding the perfect online slots to suit your own personal tastes and preferences. Not to mention, your risk appetite and bankroll. You’ll struggle to find anything more popular or playable than the slots we’ve featured here, but there are plenty of alternatives available if they don’t float your boat quite right!
