Hyper Viking Slot Review

Hyper Viking - Game Overview

Hyper Viking is a 5x3 online slot from Gameburger Studios with 20 fixed paylines and a fast pace that suits short sessions. The game blends a fruit machine layout with a Viking twist, using a paying scatter, free spins, wilds and multipliers. You can play Hyper Viking on desktop or mobile, and the maximum win reaches 2,000x your bet through the Viking scatter feature.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack in Hyper Viking

Hyper Viking looks and feels like a classic land-based fruit machine, with cherries, bars, bells, dollar signs and several 7 symbols filling the reels. The only real Viking touch is the cartoon Viking scatter, which stands out in bright colours and signals the special prize ladder. Around the reels sit dot matrix-style indicators that light up when scatter prizes land, which adds to the arcade cabinet style.

The soundtrack in Hyper Viking leans heavily towards 80s-style electronic music, which fits the neon palette and shifting backgrounds. Base game spins have a steady electro beat, while free spins push the audio and colour changes a bit further, so you feel the move into bonus play. I like that the visuals stay simple yet bold, which keeps long sessions easy on the eyes.

Hyper Viking RTP, volatility and max win

The RTP for Hyper Viking sits at 96.24 per cent, which is very much in line with modern online slots. The original review listed variance as unknown, though other material now calls it medium volatility. From my own play it does feel like a middle-of-the-road slot, with fairly steady line hits and occasional bigger scatter jumps. The headline win is 2,000x your bet, paid by nine Viking scatters.

How to play Hyper Viking

When Hyper Viking loads you first see a splash screen that highlights the main features, including the Viking scatter prizes and free spins wheel. I tap through that straight into the main game, then open the menu to check the paytable, rules and feature descriptions. From the same area you set your stake, which ranges from 0.20 to 60 coins per spin across the 20 fixed lines.

Hyper Viking also offers an autoplay option, though there are no advanced loss or win limits, so I prefer to keep the spin count modest and watch my balance. Spins play out in the standard left-to-right fashion, with three or more matching symbols forming wins, while Viking scatters pay anywhere. I always set a budget before starting and walk away once the game stops feeling fun.

Symbols and paytable in Hyper Viking

The paytable in Hyper Viking mixes classic fruit machine symbols with two special icon types. The wild symbol is the star during line wins, as it substitutes for regular symbols and is also the highest payer on the reels. Landing five wilds on a payline pays 125x your bet, which can add up very quickly if several lines hit at once during a good spin or bonus round.

Next in line come the triple, double and single 7 symbols. Five triple 7s award 37.5x your bet, double 7s pay 20x, and single 7s pay 7.5x for a full line. Any mixed combination of 7s on a line still pays, at 3.25x your bet, which softens the gaps between bigger hits. That structure makes the 7s feel busy and keeps many base game spins returning something.

The lower symbols are the dollar sign, bell, bar and cherries. Five dollar signs pay 3.25x, bells pay 2x, while bar and cherries both pay 1x your bet for a full line. On top of these come two scatters. The Viking scatter pays cash prizes for three to nine in view, while the free spins scatter appears on the centre reels and is only there to trigger the bonus.

Bonus features in Hyper Viking

Hyper Viking has two main features, both easy to follow after a few spins. The Viking scatter is active in the base game and during free spins and pays jackpots in multiples of your bet. Three scatters pay 1x, four pay 5x, five pay 15x, six pay 40x, seven pay 100x, eight pay 500x and nine scatters reach the 2,000x top prize. These wins pay regardless of paylines.

Free spins in Hyper Viking start when three free spins scatters land on reels two, three and four. Before the bonus begins you spin a free spins wheel with ten segments, which decides your package. Possible results include 10, 12, 15 or 20 free spins with a 2x multiplier, or 25 or 30 free spins with a 3x multiplier. Free spins can retrigger with the same spins and multiplier, though Viking scatter wins are not multiplied.

Hyper Viking slot review: my verdict

Hyper Viking gives me a colourful mix of old-school fruit machine action and simple feature play. The Viking scatter ladder keeps the base game from going stale, as even a spin with no line wins can throw in a tidy prize. During one long demo session I triggered free spins once and hit 12 spins with a 2x multiplier, which paid fairly. I would pick Hyper Viking when I fancy a retro-style slot that still has a decent bonus punch.
