4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing (4ThePlayer) Slot Demo & Review

Considering Sigrid, Knut, Yngue, and Gunnar have had quite a few violent adventures over the years, you’d think a fishing trip would just be what they need- what could go wrong? Well, just as a recap, the foursome has had to battle their way through Vikings Go Berzerk, attempt to handle their rage in Vikings Go to Valhalla, and finally take on Cleopatra in Vikings Go to Egypt. So, whilst fishing might sound like paradise, who knows what escapades they might end up getting into!

Let’s get things kicked off over at the pays section where Gunnar, the Viking sporting a black eye, is the slot’s top-paying symbol, worth a top return of 10x the stake when matched six times across successive reels. The same number of Yngue or Knut symbols rewards up to 4x, and Sigrid delivers a top payout of 3x. As for the mediums, you’ll receive 3x for six of the Squid and 2.5x for the same number of Seagulls. The different coins represent the low-value symbols, with the Gold, Silver, Cole, and Bronze returning up to 2.5x, 2x, 2x, and 1.5x, respectively. 

If you plan on playing 4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing for real money or in our demo play, there are 20 staking options to consider, ranging from a minimum of €0.10 per spin up to a maximum of €20.00. 

Each 4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing slot spin reveals 24 symbols across a 6-reel, 4-row, and 4,096 ways to win reel format. For the most part, three or more matching symbols on consecutive reels from left to right are required to form winning combinations, but the Gunnar symbol will payout for two or more. 

Money Ways & Big Gamble Prizes

Cash symbols can land on the reels during the base game and the Fighting Re-Spin Bonus, and if they line up across a winway, you receive their combined values as an instant prize. The longer the winning combination, the more you’re paid, as the further along the reels the symbols land, the higher their cash prizes are likely to be. 

Furthermore, if the combo reaches the sixth reel, you can land one of the Big Game Prizes of between 100x and 5,000x the stake. 

• Regular Cash Symbols: These hold values up to 1.8x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 25x, and 50x the stake on reels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively. 
• Big Game Prizes: These are the Big (100x), Super (250x), Mega (1,000x), and Ultra (5,000x) higher-value cash symbols.

Giant Squid Bonus

Triggered randomly, the Giant Squid may appear to move around some of the Fish Money symbols on the reels. In the base game, the squid could rearrange the symbols to improve how much you win from a Cash symbol combination, while in the slot’s main bonus game, it could transfer a cash prize from one of the locked reels until an active one. 

It’s time to get comfortable, as this section has quite a bit to go through. So, let’s get stuck into the main bonus features of the game and see what they can do.

Fighting Respins Bonus

You will trigger the Fighting Re-Spins Bonus game one of two ways. The first is landing three or more scatter symbols on the same base game spin. The second is via the Viking Fights feature, which I’ll tell you about shortly. 

The bonus game starts with all reels that hold a triggering scatter symbol active and all remaining reels locked. If any cash prize symbols were on the same reel as a scatter, they also carry over to the bonus game and are sticky on their active reel. The same happens to any additional cash prizes that land during the re-spins. When scatters land on the locked reels, they’re unlocked from that point onwards.

You receive an initial 3 re-spins, which reset to 3 whenever new cash prizes or scatters land in unlocked positions. Once those re-spins run dry, you receive the combined values of all cash prizes stuck on the reels.

Shark Feature

Should any reel during the bonus game have all its positions filled with cash symbols, all the prizes are collected, doubled, and stored at the top of the reel. This empties the reel so that there is a chance to collect additional prizes.

Viking Fights

I mentioned earlier that Viking Fights can trigger the main bonus game. During the base game, when the Viking character symbols land on the reels, there is a chance they hold coins. They’re collected above the reels, with each new coin giving an opportunity to trigger the Fighting Re-Spins bonus. If that bonus is triggered this way, 3 of the reels are randomly selected as locked, and the Viking that collected the coin becomes berzerk for the entirety of the bonus.

Whenever Viking Symbols land during the re-spins feature, a fight takes place. Should the Viking emerge victorious, you’ll receive one of the following rewards:

• Cash Collector: This rewards you with all the prizes currently on the reels.
• Cash Incrementor: This boosts the values of all the prizes currently in view.
• Cash Multiplier: Randomly places multipliers onto one or more of the positions on the reels. That multiplier will apply to any future cash prizes that land in that position during the bonus.
• Cash Nets: Adds a net to at least one of the positions, which guarantees a prize will land in that position on the next re-spin.

Berzerk Vikings never lose, so whenever these land, you will always receive one of the above rewards.

Bonus Buy

You have to choices if you want to jump straight into the main bonus game:

• You can purchase the regular Fighting Re-Spins Bonus for 125x the current stake.
• You can buy the Mega Re-Spins Bonus, which features all four Vikings in Berzerk mode, for 500x the current spin bet.
