About Volatile Vikings
Volatile Vikings was released on 21 September 2021 according to SlotCatalog, AboutSlots and CasinoTest24. Our database listed 22 April 2021, a corrected value. Take care not to confuse this title with Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop, released in November 2023 and set at 94% RTP.
The grid runs 6 reels by 5 rows, or 30 positions — the studio's official page writes "6 x 5 slot". The pay mechanic needs a correction, because our database described it as Cluster Pays: that is wrong. Relax states "Scatter Pays", and the rule is different. A win forms as soon as 8 or more matching symbols are visible anywhere on the grid, with no adjacency requirement whatsoever. A cluster requires symbols to touch; here they can be scattered to the four corners of the screen. Eight out of thirty is a relatively low threshold, which explains the 26.98% hit frequency recorded by AboutSlots: a little over one spin in four returns something.
Every paid combination triggers a cascade: winning symbols vanish, new ones drop in, and the sequence continues as long as a fresh win forms. But the cascade is not only a source of extra wins — it is also the game's clock.
This is where the Multiplier Reveal comes in, the title's real mechanic. On every spin, two of these symbols land automatically on reels 3 and 4. Each shows a counter that ticks down by one on every winning cascade. Its value stays hidden until the counter reaches zero. When it does, the multiplier reveals: sources document a range running from 1x to 100x. The reveal also destroys up to 8 adjacent symbols, which sets off a fresh cascade and can therefore restart the machine. Finally, the two revealed multipliers add together before being applied to the spin's total win, taking the documented combined figure up to 200x.
The practical consequence is simple: a spin without a cascade moves nothing down, and both multipliers stay closed boxes. So you need long chains, and you need luck on what sits underneath. Three treasure chest scatters trigger 6 free spins, plus 1 spin per additional scatter, and further scatters during the feature extend the round.
Now the numbers. RTP is 96.23% according to AboutSlots and CasinoTest24, meaning the house keeps 3.77 per 100 staked across a very large number of spins. SlotCatalog quotes 96.44% instead: we keep 96.23%, backed by two agreeing sources, and flag the discrepancy. The bonus buy costs 100x stake, guarantees at least 3 scatters and lifts RTP to 97.00%, so 3.00 per 100. That 0.77 point gain is the largest of the six Relax games in this batch, ahead of Beast Mode at 0.68, Top Dawg$ at 0.61, Dead Riders Trail at 0.30, and TNT Tumble, whose buy changes nothing at all. At 0.10 the buy costs 10; at 50 it costs 5,000. It is banned in the United Kingdom. Stakes run from 0.10 to 50 and max win is 20,000x, both figures published directly by Relax: 2,000 at 0.10, 20,000 at 1, and 1,000,000 at 50. The official page publishes neither RTP nor volatility.
