Game Design

This Swedish game provider is definitely one of the biggest and popular in the gaming industry, and has secured a legion of fans with a range of high quality slots. Ring of Odin is definitely another great addition to their gaming library that you can of course play here at Wildz.

The game is based on the character of Odin, a very towering figure in Norse mythology who is known, among other things, as the god of wisdom. The power in this game comes from Odin’s ring, a piece of jewelry called Draupnir, which has its own magical properties. The gameplay is simple and decent sessions largely depend on triggering the two free spins features, one of which comes with a 9x multiplier.

Ring of Odin is a five reel, three row, 10 fixed payline slot that pays from left to right for three identical symbols on a payline. The theme of Norse mythology inspires an atmospheric play with a rocky landscape bathed in an orange shimmer. The god Odin stands on either side of the reels. The low-value symbols are represented by rune stones - red, blue, green and purple. The higher-order symbols also come from Nordic stories - wolves, ravens, horses and Odin’s magic spear. Five spears give you 50 times your stake.

Odin itself represents the wild symbol and, in addition to the exchange for everything else, pays out 50x for five on a payline. There is also Odin’s Eye, the scatter symbol that triggers the free spins round right away.

Gameplay and Features

Odin’s ring

Odin’s magic ring is part of this character’s mythology and can be activated with every spin. If the ring lands in the middle of the reels, the symbol that lands in it will be selected as the special one for the following re-spin. By activating Odin’s ring, new Draupnir respins can be awarded and one additional Draupnir respin per selected symbol that ends up in Odin’s ring.

Drupnir respins

After Odin’s Ring feature, the ring appears 9 times over reels 2, 3 and 4. If, after a respin, the special symbol lands in each of the rings, a Drupnir respin is triggered. With nine ring slots available, you can earn up to 9 respins.

During the Drupnir respins the middle nine positions are all occupied by the special symbol where the Drupnir respins were first started, i.e. a 9 × 9 square mega symbol.

Multiplier Free Spins

If the Odin’s Eye Scatter happens to be the special symbol in the feature above and it then lands in the nine rings, the Multiplier Free Spins round is triggered. The size of the multiplier that is applied to winnings during the free spins round depends on how many scatters land in the rings, from one to 9 times. There are four multiplier free spins awarded as a base level and an additional spin for each scatter.

Foresight free spins

There is also this free spins feature where three Odin’s eye scatters land on reels number 1, 3 and 5 during the base game. Here you get four free spins and each one triggers an Odin’s eye. During the free spins, every scatter that appears on the reels adds one more game to your total.

Volatility/RTP

This is a slot with high variance and a rating of 7/10 on Play’n GO’s own scale. So be ready for a few rounds of no wins before you can see any winnings of any magnitude, so choose your bet accordingly. If you prefer slots with a lower risk, you may want to find another game in the Wildz game library. The payout ratio ( Return to Player - RTP) Ring of Odin is a respectable 96.2%.

Verdict

Ring of Odin is another excellent release from gaming giant Play’n GO. The gameplay seems difficult at first, but it’s pretty easy to understand once you get started. To win big you need to get into the multiplier free spins round by landing the scatters in the nine rings. If you accumulate a decent number of spins and start with a large enough multiplier, that 5,000x top payout is not out of reach. Top fun is guaranteed in any case. Of course, you can play this slot as well as thousands of other video slots for free in fun mode before you wager real money to be sure that you have found the right game for you.
