Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop Slot Review

Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop Slot Information

Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop is Relax Gaming's third entry in the Dream Drop network, and as someone who played the first game hard, I can feel the shared DNA straight away. You still get a 6 by 5 layout and scatter pays, so any cluster of eight or more matching symbols anywhere on the grid pays, then explodes. Stakes run from 20 pence up to 100 pounds per spin, and it runs well on mobile or desktop.

Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop tones down the icy mysticism of the first slot and shifts the action into a warm stone hall with barrels of mead, shafts of light and a jolly tune, which I quite like on longer sessions. The maths is harsh though, with high volatility, overall RTP of 94.8 percent and roughly 12 percent of every wager feeding the progressive jackpots, leaving the base game at about 82.8 percent.

Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop Symbols and Paytable

The paytable in Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop sticks to the scatter pays model, so you are paid for counts, not lines. Low paying symbols are coin style runes in blue, purple, green and brown. Hit eight of these and you get around 0.4 to 0.5 times your bet, rising up to between 3 and 6 times stake when twelve or more of the same icon land on screen together.

The premium set in Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop is made up of Viking faces in blue, purple, green, brown and red, plus a chunky boar head. Eight symbol wins here pay from about one to ten times stake, jumping up to between ten and fifty times stake for twelve or more of the same premium. There is no wild symbol, which does make the grid feel a bit more unforgiving in dry patches.

Cascade Feature in Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop

The cascade feature in Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop is simple yet central. Any time you land a scatter style win, all symbols in that win explode off the board and new symbols drop down from above to fill the gaps. Further wins keep the process running, so you can chain several hits from a single paid spin, which is especially handy when you are trying to grind down the multiplier counters.

Multiplier Reveal in Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop

Multiplier Reveal in Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop is where the game really earns its name. On every spin in the main game you get two special symbols, one on reel three and one on reel four. Each shows a counter and a multiplier. The counter drops by one for each winning cascade on that spin, and when it reaches zero the multiplier fires, blows away adjacent symbols and adds its value to a growing total multiplier.

Once a Multiplier Reveal symbol has paid out in Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop, a fresh one drops in during the same sequence, so on a strong cascade you can stack several. At the end of the spin, the sum of all revealed multipliers is applied to the total win from that spin. When this lines up with a big cluster of high paying Vikings, you really feel the slot flex, even without the jackpot game involved.

Free Spins and Dream Drop Bonus in Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop

Free spins in Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop trigger when three or more treasure chest scatters land in the base game, with three giving six free games and every extra scatter adding one more. Inside the bonus, the Multiplier Reveal feature changes gear. Any multipliers you reveal are added to a persistent win multiplier that carries across spins, then applies to every total win at the end of each free spin.

Bonus symbols in Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop still appear during free spins, and each one adds a further spin, so the round can run for quite a while when the game is in a generous mood. Non jackpot potential is capped at ten thousand times your bet for the whole bonus. From long play, I find the feature fairly hard to land, but the way that multiplier climbs can make the wait feel worthwhile.

The Dream Drop bonus in Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop can trigger at random before a paid spin. You move to a new set of five reels, each labelled with one of the jackpots. Only crate and DD symbols can land. Crates are destroyed while DD symbols stick. The first reel you fill with DD symbols awards its jackpot, seeded at one, five, one hundred, twenty five thousand or five hundred thousand euros for Rapid up to Mega.

Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop Slot Verdict

As a long term slots player, I see Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop as a slightly softer, more sociable take on the first game, wired into the Dream Drop network. The core loop of scatter pays, cascades and growing multipliers is still as entertaining as ever, especially in the bonus where the multiplier sticks. The presentation is brighter and friendlier, though that eerie Norse edge from the original has mostly gone.

The flip side with Volatile Vikings 2 Dream Drop is the maths. Overall RTP is trimmed, the regular max win has been halved compared with the first release, and a big slice of value sits in jackpots that most of us will never see. When I fancy a high risk grind with a distant shot at life changing money, I am happy to fire this up, but for pure gameplay I often reach for the non jackpot version.
