If you’re a regular reader of this blog or a regular player at Fortune Frenzy, the you may have noticed that we’ve been bombarding you with new slots recently. Each and every Thursday, we give you new games to play from a range of software developers. This week, we’ve got two giant slots for you: Vikings of Fortune by Blueprint Gaming and The Legend of Shangri La by NetEnt.
Vikings of Fortune is a, as the name suggests, viking themed slot which also boasts a progressive jackpot and a chance to win up to 100 extra spins. On the other hand, The Legend of Shangri La is a six reel, cluster pays slot with four bonus features. Both of these slots are packed with opportunities to win big and both are completed with excellent graphics. The new games go live on Thursday (21st September), but you can read on now to learn more about title.
Vikings Of Fortune By Blueprint Gaming
Vikings of Fortune is a 5 reel, 25 payline progressive jackpot slot from Blueprint Gaming. Boasting superb graphics and sound effects, it’s one of the brands most exciting games and it’s playable from as little as 25p per spin, all the way up to £125.
The reels hang against a mountain landscape and symbols include swords, shields, axes, helmets and longships — all very fitting to the theme. There are also Norse gods and goddesses, and two different types of wild symbols. The first, which is represented by a sword, is a regular wild symbol and, as well as substituting for all other symbols, will reward you with 10,000 coins if you find five of a kind on any active payline.
The second is the Thunder Streak wild, and if this appears on reel three, it will expand to fill the reel. You’ll also then be granted one re-spin, with any winning symbols remaining sticky. The re-spins will continue for as long as new matching symbols are landing on the reels.
Vikings of Fortune also benefits from a scatter symbol. Three or more of these will trigger the Bonus Thunder round, which works quite similarly to the Thunder Streak wild feature. The three symbols will lock in place, and you’ll receive a re-spin. So long as more bonus symbols are appearing, the slot will keep re-spinning.
At the end of the re-spins, you’ll receive a certain amount of ‘Thunder Spins’ depending on the amount of bonus symbols you’ve collected. So, for instance, three bonus symbols will give you eight Thunder Spins, whilst 10 or more bonus symbols will give you a whopping 100 Thunder Spins!
Thunder Spins are like regular extra spins, but the Thunder Streak wild is always in play. This means your third reel will constantly be wild and you’ll be able to trigger the Thunder Streak feature if you land a winning combination.
Last, but by no means least, Vikings of Fortune is part of the Jackpot King network, which means there’s a progressive jackpot up for grabs too. Land a Jackpot King symbol anywhere on the reels to trigger the jackpot game, in which you must collect crowns, and spin the wheel for a chance to take home the grand prize!
The Legend Of Shangri La Cluster Pays By NetEnt
The Legend of Shangri La Cluster Pays is a six reel video slot from NetEnt which, as the name suggests, features a cluster pays mechanism. This means that instead of traditional paylines, players need to collect ‘clusters’ of nine or more adjacent symbols to win. The slot runs flawlessly on all devices and is available to play from 10p to £200 per spin.
As is to be expected from a NetEnt game, The Legend of Shangri La is visually stunning. The reels hang against a mystical landscape and there is a cartoon red panda monk character, which comes to life as you play. Symbols include butterflies, blossom, dragonflies and koi carp. There are also three stacked symbols, which are represented by a cat character, an elephant character and a monkey character. The cat is the games’ highest paying symbol and it will award you with 1,000x your stake if you can create a full 30-symbol sized cluster of them.
Whilst The Legend of Shangri La doesn’t include a traditional wild symbol, the red monk character may hand you mystery symbols randomly throughout the game. These transform into whatever symbol will create a cluster win. Furthermore, the game benefits from a re-spin feature. This is triggered when two clusters of the same symbol appear, yet neither are big enough to create a win. These symbols remain sticky during the re-spin, in the hopes that new symbols will join the clusters.
The slot also boasts an impressive extra spins bonus round, which begins when you land three or more extra spins symbols anywhere on the reels. The amount of extra spins you will receive is dependent on how many symbols you trigger the round with. For example, three symbols will reward you with five extra spins, whilst five symbols will give you eight extra spins.
During the extra spins round, you will find mystery symbols on each spin. These work in the same way as in the base game, substituting for other symbols to create winning clusters, so you’re chances of racking up some huge wins is significantly higher! Moreover, if the extra spins round ends without you winning more than 10x your wager, you’ll receive one extra extra spin to give you another shot at a big win.
