Raven Rising Slot Review

Raven Rising Slot Overview

Raven Rising is a Viking slot from Quickspin played on a 5x3 grid with tumbling symbols, an increasing win multiplier and a Ragnarok Free Spins round. The action starts in icy Midgard, with two seafaring warriors standing beside the reels and a raven acting as messenger of the gods. The whole package feels like a comic book saga, with a dramatic soundtrack driving the spins and giving the slot a punchy atmosphere.

From a player's point of view, Raven Rising sits in the group of Viking games that do not pull any punches. The base game can be quite soft, but once Ragnarok kicks in the slot turns volatile and sharp. During my sessions I found the setup straightforward, relying on tumbles, growing multipliers and strong symbol values rather than long lists of side features or gimmicks.

Raven Rising Slot Information and Design

The reels in Raven Rising use a 5 reel, 3 row layout with 20 fixed paylines that pay from the leftmost reel when at least three matching symbols land in succession. Stakes range from 0.20 to 100 per spin, so the slot caters for low stakes grinding and more aggressive sessions. It runs smoothly on desktop, mobile and tablets, with the same visuals and sound on each platform.

Every time you land a winning line, the symbols involved are removed and new ones tumble down to fill the gaps. That keeps a single paid spin alive for longer and feeds straight into the multiplier system. The backdrop switches from frozen Midgard in the base game to a fiery Ragnarok scene in free spins, and the audio ramps up with heavier drums when the bonus round bursts into life.

Raven Rising Symbols and Paytable

Symbol wise, Raven Rising sticks to runic card royals J to A for the lower pays, worth between 1.25x and 5x your stake for five of a kind. The axe, hammer, Freyja and Odin cover the mid and high end, paying from 10x up to 75x for five. A golden W wild symbol tops the paytable at 125x for a full line and substitutes for everything except the raven shield scatter.

Bonus Features in Raven Rising

The core feature in Raven Rising is the tumble mechanic linked with an increasing win multiplier. In the Midgard base game, each time a set of winning symbols tumbles off the grid the multiplier climbs by one step. When the spin finally ends and no new wins appear, the multiplier resets to x1 for the next round. During longer cascades that rising value can give even small lines a noticeable lift.

Landing 3, 4 or 5 raven scatters brings 7, 10 or 15 Ragnarok Free Spins. Before the bonus starts you can pick the Ragnarok Gamble and spin a wheel for extra scatters, up to a maximum of 5. It is a straight 50 50 shot, so a failed gamble wipes the bonus, but winning moves you up a level and awards more free spins to fire at the feature.

During Ragnarok Free Spins the win multiplier starts at x1 and rises by one for every single winning symbol removed from the reels, not just each win. That value never resets between free spins, so towards the end of a good bonus it can climb to serious heights. Extra scatters add 3, 5 or 7 more spins and, in supported markets, the bonus can be bought for 100x the current bet.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Raven Rising

Raven Rising is a high volatility slot with three RTP models, so it is worth checking which version you are playing. The main setting runs at 96.07 percent with a maximum win of 6804 times your stake, and Quickspin rates volatility around 4.5 out of 5. Lower settings of 94.19 or 87.15 percent trim the win cap and shift the maths closer to medium volatility. At full RTP, 64.12 percent sits in the base game, the rest in free spins.

Raven Rising Slot Verdict

From my own play, Raven Rising feels like a classic high risk Viking slot that keeps its feature set tight but effective. The base game can be a bit of a grind, yet the tumbling wins and climbing multiplier throw in some handy spikes along the way. The art and soundtrack carry a lot of weight, giving the slot a hard edged world where the Viking heroes either hit glory or fall.

The real hook lies in Ragnarok Free Spins, especially when the multiplier catches fire and every extra symbol pushed off the reels adds to it. The max win of around 6800x is solid rather than insane, yet the game has that gauntlet throwing quality that keeps me coming back. If you like volatile bonus hunts with simple rules and strong Norse flavour, Raven Rising does the job.
