Le Viking Slot Review

Le Viking Info

As someone who lives on Hacksaw Gaming slots, Le Viking grabbed me straight away. It is the third chapter in the Le series, sending Smokey the raccoon into Viking territory on a 6x5 grid with 15,625 ways to win. Medium volatility, a 96.32% RTP and a 10,000x max win set it up as a more approachable, but still punchy, coin feature game.

Le Viking Overview

I put in several hundred spins on Le Viking across demo play and real stakes. The maths model felt very close to the advertised 38.17% hit frequency, with regular small line wins keeping the balance ticking over. Proper excitement kicks in whenever coins cluster or a tease for Raid Spins appears, so base game spins always feel like they are building towards something.

Compared with Le Bandit, Le Viking is clearly more layered, yet it keeps the same cheeky cartoon energy. Smokey stands beside the reels in full Viking gear, shouting "Bonjour" while hammers and axes fly across the screen. Underneath that silliness sits a fairly considered structure built around sticky coins, Grid Multipliers and refilling lives, so it rewards players who enjoy feature hunting rather than pure line-hit play.

Le Viking Slot Details

Le Viking runs on a 6x5 layout with 15,625 ways to win, paying for three to six matches on adjacent reels from the left. Stakes start at 10p per spin and, in my experience, can climb as high as £100 in some lobbies, although I have also seen lower caps. That range makes it workable for cautious bankroll testing and later for more aggressive bonus hunting.

The default RTP of Le Viking is 96.32%, though alternative settings down to around 92% exist, so I always check the game info before I commit. Volatility sits at a middle-of-the-road setting, and the 38.17% hit rate means more than one in three spins pays something. The headline 10,000x win is technically there, with published odds around one in several million, so highlights remain rarefied.

Le Viking Theme, Audio + Symbols

Theme-wise, Le Viking leans into a light-hearted Norse adventure rather than grim mythology. The reels sit in front of a shoreline village with a longship bobbing in the bay, while Smokey sports a helmet, wooden sword and ginger beard. The soundtrack mixes folk-style riffs with upbeat percussion, which fits the cartoon visuals. Nothing feels heavy; even long sessions stay breezy thanks to clean art and sharp animation.

The regular paytable in Le Viking splits cleanly between low cards and Viking gear. Tens through Aces pay from 0.1x up to 0.7x for six of a kind, so they mostly recycle your stake. Then you move into bows, helmets, axes, swords and the Mjolnir hammer. Six hammers hit for 3x the bet, with the other weapons covering the 0.3x to 2x band, depending on symbol and length.

Special symbols are where Le Viking really comes alive. Bronze, Silver and Gold Coins carry cash values from 0.2x up to 100x, while Diamonds jump to the 150x to 500x bracket. Green Clovers multiply adjacent Coins and Diamonds by 2x to 20x and Gold Clovers do the same for the whole grid. FS scatters trigger the free spin modes, Hearts raise your life cap to a maximum of five, and Magic Cauldrons collect everything in range.

Le Viking Bonus Features

Bonus play in Le Viking is all about Raid Spins and the four free spin flavours. Landing six Coins in the base game launches Raid Spins with three refilling lives and only dead symbols, Coins, Diamonds and Clovers on the grid. Every non-dead hit resets lives to three and sticks in place until the end. When the feature finishes, all Coins and Diamonds reveal their bet multipliers and add together for a single payout.

Free spins build on that hold-and-win core. Three to six FS scatters trigger Berserk, Valkyrie, Ragnarök or Journey to Valhalla, starting with between three and six Grid Multipliers worth 2x to 10x. Coins, Diamonds and Clovers stay sticky until scooped by a Magic Cauldron, Hearts can raise you to five lives, and top-tier modes strip out weaker coins. Outside the UK, tiered Bonus Buys give direct entry to Raid Spins or specific free spin rounds.

Le Viking Expert Verdict

As a regular on Hacksaw releases, I rate Le Viking as a solid medium-volatility option when I fancy coin features without brutal swings. The 15,625 ways format, sticky coins and Grid Multipliers give enough pop, while the cartoon Viking setting keeps things light. It does not push the series as far as Le Pharaoh, but for steady sessions with bursts of real danger, it earns a spot in my rotation.
