Viking Honour XtraWild Slot Review

Viking Honour XtraWild – Our Slot Review

Viking Honour XtraWild is a video slot from Swintt, released on 23 February 2022. It runs on a 5-reel layout with 30 fixed paylines, which suits my style when I want clear line wins rather than complex grids. The maths model sits in the average volatility zone and the RTP stands at 96.02%, so I treat it as a balanced title that can pay in both shorter and longer sessions.

I first tried Viking Honour XtraWild after spending time on earlier Swintt releases, and it felt like a natural step up. The max win of 6261 times stake instantly caught my eye, as it beats many of the brand’s average-volatility slots listed around it. I see it as a mid-range game with a higher ceiling, aimed at players who want steady play but still chase a standout hit.

Theme & Symbols in Viking Honour XtraWild

From the name alone, Viking Honour XtraWild clearly sits in the Norse adventure line that Swintt likes to explore. When I load it up I expect the reels to be filled with Viking warriors, longships and classic card ranks covering the low end. The studio usually backs that up with a clear paytable screen, so it is easy to see how many matching symbols you need for each prize.

Viking Honour XtraWild also leans on the usual Swintt approach of mixing standard paying icons with special ones. You have regular line symbols for line wins and extra icons that drive features such as wilds or scatters, flagged clearly in the paytable section. I like this layout because I can skim the paytable once, memorise the key logos and then focus on the reels rather than the help screen.

Bonus Features in Viking Honour XtraWild

When I sit down with Viking Honour XtraWild, the clue is in the name. The slot leans heavily on wild symbols as the driving force of its bonus play. Swintt tends to give these wilds more weight than simple substitution, so I look out for extra enhancements when they land. The result is a game where wild activity often decides whether a session feels lively or flat.

From my sessions, Viking Honour XtraWild follows the Swintt formula of combining line wins with a feature round triggered by special icons. Hitting enough of those symbols in a single spin moves play into a free-spin style mode, where wild behaviour becomes more active and win potential climbs. I have had stretches of base-game spinning, then a feature that suddenly pulls the balance back in shape.

As with other Swintt releases from the same period, the rules for Viking Honour XtraWild’s features are set out in a simple help menu. Before I play for real money, I like to open that section, scroll through the feature pages and note how many special symbols are needed and whether retriggers are possible. Doing that once makes later sessions smoother, since I know exactly what I am hoping to see.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Viking Honour XtraWild

On the maths side, Viking Honour XtraWild runs a 96.02% RTP, which fits neatly with what I expect from Swintt. In practice that means long-term payback is fair for a video slot, though short runs can swing either way. The volatility sits at an average level, so I tend to see a mix of smaller line hits and the odd bigger jump, rather than the long dry spells of high-risk games.

The advertised top prize in Viking Honour XtraWild is 6261 times stake, well above the caps on several other average-volatility Swintt titles released around early 2022. I treat that figure as the very top of the curve, not something that will appear in normal play, but it tells me the game has enough headroom. When I want a medium-risk slot that can still spike hard, this one stays on my shortlist.

Bet Range and Playing Style in Viking Honour XtraWild

For staking, Viking Honour XtraWild accepts bets from 0.30 up to 50 credits per spin, with all 30 paylines active. I like starting close to the lower end while I test how the balance moves, then stepping up if the session goes well. Because volatility is average, I avoid betting too high from the start; steady staking lets me see several feature rounds without draining the bankroll early.

Final Ratings for Viking Honour XtraWild

In my own ratings for Viking Honour XtraWild, Theme & Symbols score well thanks to the solid Viking set-up, while Sounds & Music sit in the decent bracket without stealing the show. Bonus Features feel engaging enough for an average-volatility Swintt release, backed by that 96.02% RTP. I place the 6261x max win above the studio’s standard caps, which pushes my score for raw potential higher.

Originality is about average in Viking Honour XtraWild; it builds on ideas Swintt had already tested rather than changing direction. That suits me when I want a reliable session with familiar mechanics and clear line play. Overall I see this slot as a solid pick for players who enjoy Viking themes, like steady play with room for a bigger win, and favour simple layouts over complex reel systems.
