Lagertha

Viking shield - maiden Lagertha is the semi – mythical character who became the ruler of what is now known as Norway, during the Golden age of the Vikings. She has been the inspiration for many stories, TV characters and obviously for one specific video slot.

Lagertha is the video slot developed by Future Gaming Solutions a.k.a. Fugaso. It has 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 pay-lines. Bet per line can go from 0.02 up to 5 euros which means that total bet goes from 0.40 up to 100 euros if you play on all 20 pay-lines. But you can set pay-lines to any number between one and twenty.

In the backdrop of the reels you’ll see that the game is set inside the Viking ship filled with beer barrels, spears, helmets and shields. Graphics are rather simple, which doesn’t mean they are bad.

In fact:

With wonderful animations and great Viking music soundtrack this slot is able to transfer you to the Scandinavian medieval age in the blink of the eye.

Among the symbols you’ll see shields with green, white, red and blue patterns on them, helmet, knife, crossbow, sword and an axe. The highest paying symbol among them is the Viking warrior icon and for the 3 of them you’ll get 4 times your total bet; for 4 of them 12.5 your total bet while the 5 Viking warriors on the pay-line will reward you with 40 times your total bet.

“3 or more scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger 10 bonus spins.”

The symbol of Lagertha represents the wild and as such…

…can substitute for all symbols except for the scatter. Landing 3 Wilds on a single pay-line will get you 5 times your total bet; 4 Wilds will secure you the winning of 25 times your total bet and 5 Wilds will get you 50 times your total bet!

This icon is also an expanding feature during the bonus round, but bear in mind that the expanding is only triggered if the win can be gained. 

The scatter is shown on the reels in the form of a Viking ship. With the 5 scatters on the pay-line you will get 200 times your total bet. 3 or more scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger 10 bonus spins. Bonus spins can be retriggered during the bonus feature.

Gamble Feature

With every win you are given a choice between collecting your win or gambling with it. If you are a risk taker, all you have to do is push the GAMBLE button and play a simple card game.

If you choose correctly your win from the base game will be doubled but if your choice of card is incorrect all gamble amount will be lost. Winnings can be gambled up to five times. Gamble is not available during Autoplay.

Our Take

When it comes to graphics and the visual aspect of this game, it’s not the most impressive video slot out there. Theme and the backstory will certainly attract people who are into heroes and epic adventures.

Fugaso actually did a good job with this title, when it comes to the possibilities and the options of the game. Bonus features are nothing new, yet they are always welcome…

…and the possibility of retriggering bonus spins is a BIG plus for the game.
