Book of Vikings Slot – Norse Lore with Expanding Symbol Raids

Detailed Overview of Book of Vikings

Book of Vikings is a Norse mythology slot from Pragmatic Play that utilizes the classic ‘Book’ expanding symbol mechanic. This 5×3 grid game with 10 paylines offers an RTP of 96.5%, high volatility, and a max win of 10,000x. The theme is the Viking age of exploration and conquest, with symbols like the sacred book, Viking warriors, longships, and axes. It’s a straightforward, high-volatility ‘Book’ slot designed for players who enjoy the tense anticipation of the expanding symbol feature within a rugged Norse setting.

Book of Vikings Gameplay and Features

The base game raids for standard payline wins. The special Book of Vikings Symbol acts as both wild and scatter. Landing 3 of these books triggers the Free Spins round. The gameplay is purposefully minimalist, focusing all attention on the bonus trigger and the random selection of the expanding symbol, which holds the key to the game’s plunder.

Bonus Rounds & Special Symbols in Book of Vikings

Triggering free spins awards 10 initial spins. Before the round starts, one regular paying symbol is randomly chosen to become the special Expanding Symbol. During free spins, if 3 or more of this chosen symbol land, they expand to cover their entire reels. If the highest-paying Viking symbol is chosen, the potential for a screen-filling raid of wins is high. Landing 3 more book scatters during the bonus awards an extra 5 free spins. The mechanic is pure volatility: a long bonus with the right expanding symbol can yield a king’s ransom.

Book of Vikings Verdict

Book of Vikings is a no-nonsense entry in the ‘Book’ genre with a compelling Viking skin. It doesn’t innovate on the formula but delivers it reliably within a popular theme. It’s a solid choice for players who have enjoyed other ‘Book of…’ slots and want a Norse version, or for Viking enthusiasts looking for a high-volatility game with a simple, potent bonus round. The 10,000x max win is competitive, making it a worthy vessel for those seeking treasure from the north.

✨ The Slot's Tale

Erik, a history teacher in Oslo, struggled to make the Viking age relevant beyond longships and raids. His students thought it was just violence. For a project, he asked them to research not kings, but everyday life: what they ate, how they settled disputes, their art. One student, Freya, found a reference to a ‘Book of Vikings’—not a historical text, but a modern novel based on a real, fragmented saga about a Viking explorer named Rurik who valued navigation by stars and trade over plunder. Erik got the book. Reading it, he was struck by a passage where Rurik refuses to raid a defenseless village, instead trading amber for food. Erik turned this into a classroom role-play. The students were captivated, debating ethics, strategy, culture. The Viking age came alive as a complex human era, not a caricature. Erik learned that the ‘Book of Vikings’ isn’t a single tome of facts; it’s an ongoing story we write by choosing which chapters to emphasize. By focusing on the explorers, the innovators, the peacemakers, we can rediscover the sagas not of mindless warriors, but of resilient, clever, profoundly human ancestors whose true legacy is not in what they took, but in how they navigated a harsh world with courage and, sometimes, surprising compassion.
