1X2 Gaming: Asgard Warriors

Express your love for Norse mythology in this game by traveling to the world of gods in Asgard. Unlike other games which are inspired by Norse mythology, 1×2 Gaming added a twist in Asgard Warriors. Instead of sticking with the usual games with Norse mythology influence, the game provider added the Vikings in the gameplay.

This combination made the game more interesting and exciting enough to put players on the edge of their seats. With a 5×3 reel configuration, this highly volatile game offers 243 ways to win. However, its RTP is set low at 94.56% and its maximum payout is up to 40x only.

Asgard Warriors slot design

Since this is Asgard Warriors Slot, the game is set in Asgard which you’ve probably heard about the Norse mythology. It is the place where gods live so Asgard can be considered as a sort of heaven for the North Germanic people. The human world called Midgard is separate from Asgard but the tree Yggdrasil connects both worlds.

In stories, there are no Vikings that ever existed so 1×2 Gaming made a connection between the two in this game. The Asgard Warriors’ game area is set on a dark brown grid with wooden accents. The background shows a mesmerizing landscape that looks like part of Asgard. It shows mountains, rivers, and a clear blue lake behind the reels.

Since the Vikings are notorious for raiding, they brought a dark atmosphere in Asgard Warriors which is noticeable during the Bonus Spins. During this round, the reels suddenly become dark with a mysterious atmosphere. Of course, the reels are filled with the Asgard Warriors, their shields, the Mjolnir, and the Royals.

Asgard Warriors features

Asgard Warriors Slot has a quite simple gameplay that you can witness in its game area with 5 reels and 3 rows. Its gameplay includes few features only like the Wild symbols, Scatter symbols, Bonus Spins and more. To know what this game is all about and the level of entertainment it can give, let’s check out its features.

Wild Symbols

Asgard Warriors is one of those games that doesn’t look striking at first sight. Thus, it is the Wild symbol’s job to make the game more exciting and worth your while. Asgard Warriors’ Wild symbol is represented by the Viking Ship which has a “Wild” logo underneath the ship. This special symbol functions as a substitute for all non-special symbols to help increase your chances of creating winning clusters.

Scatter Symbols

If there is a Wild symbol, of course, there is also a Scatter symbol that is represented by a skull. It has a golden symbol on the skull’s forehead and a “Scatter” logo so you can spot it easily. Forming a winning combination with Scatter symbols can give you up to 16 Bonus Spins. You can even activate a feature which we will check out below.

Bonus Spins

Since we have the Scatter symbols, you can already expect some Bonus Spins. To enter this bonus round, you need to match 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols on the reels. These matching Scatter symbols will give you 8, 12, or 16 Bonus Spins.

Once you used your Bonus Spins, you can still get additional Bonus Spins that go as follows:

• 1 Scatter Symbols = 1 Bonus Spins
• 2 Scatter Symbols = 2 Bonus Spins
• 3 Scatter Symbols = 3 Bonus Spins
• 4 Scatter Symbols = 4 Bonus Spins
• 5 Scatter Symbols = 5 Bonus Spins

Aside from getting Bonus Spins in this round, you can also take advantage of another Asgard Warriors feature below.

Win Multipliers

One of the fastest ways to boost your score and get bigger rewards during the Bonus Spins is through Multipliers. The bonus round comes with an attached Win Multiplier which starts at 1x. Each time you land a new Scatter symbol, the Win Multiplier also increases. Depending on the additional number of Scatter symbols you get, your attached Multiplier will also range from 1x to 5x your bet.

Asgard Warriors RTP, betting and prizes

Asgard Warriors´ game grid floats above the unpredictable seas to offer 243 ways to win. This is one of the games of 1×2 Gaming with high volatility so don’t expect its reels to give you winning combinations regularly. Asgard Warriors offers each spin which costs a minimum of £0.10 up to a maximum of £50.

When it comes to its paytable, it is quite disappointing to see such a low Return to Player rating. Compared with most of the slot games that we reviewed; this game has a 94.56% RTP only. This is below the average RTP of most slots nowadays. Its low-paying symbols include the J to A card symbols which Asgard Warriors carved from what looks like a stone. Depending on your preference, it may look like the symbols were forged from grey steel as well.

Regardless, it is better to focus more on symbols that give higher payouts. Its medium paying symbols include the shield, battle helmets, and Thor’s hammer. For its premium symbols, Asgard Warriors has the female warrior, an old male warrior with white hair and beard, and a bare-chested male warrior. Matching 5-character symbols will reward you 5x to 10x your stake.

For a bigger payout, you need to land 3 to 5 bare-chested-male warrior symbols. This male warrior with a muscular body will give you a reward that is worth 20x to 100x your stake. 

FAQ

Conclusion

For a highly volatile slot, Asgard Warriors has a very simple start in gameplay. However, its modest charm gradually increases as you stay longer in-game and take more spins. At first glance, Asgard Warriors is not one of those games that will attract you with its impressive looks. Still, 1×2 Gaming did a good job on its graphics which has that cartoonish style.

If you’ve encountered one of its games with the title Barbarian Gold, you will notice its similarity in the style of graphics. 1×2 Gaming designed Asgard Warriors to disarm players and slowly win them over. Thus, the design of this game isn’t very complicated.

However, the game doesn’t offer a lot of ways to win and other eye-catching features like other 1×2 Gaming games. Asgard Warriors could have been better if it has a higher RTP and maximum payout.
