Hall of Gods

While many Norse mythology-inspired slots online revolve around highly detailed graphics, Hall of Gods comes with a more light-hearted approach. This game has a cartoonish appearance, with the board seemingly sitting on top of an avalanche. As for sound effects, the background audio consists of crashing waves, with drums beating whenever a matching combination is formed. The Hall of Gods slot comes with a total of 5 reels and 20 fixed paylines, alongside a minimum stake size of 0.20. 

This game was created by NetEnt, touted as one of the most premium software providers in the casino slots space. Interestingly, this company was among the first to release online titles, with their portfolio now containing over 200. Some prime examples of NetEnt releases include the likes of Reef Raider, Cornelius, and Starburst. 

Standard symbols in this title are represented by a crate of apples, a scythe, a necklace, Thor's hammer, a ring, and Idun. These are followed by the premiums, all of which are based on Norse gods, including Loki, Freya, Thor, and Odin. Should five of these form a matching combination, players will be awarded with 50x, 75x, 100x, or 200x their stake size, in that order. It's also worth mentioning that unlike in many online slots in the UK, only two premium icons are needed in order to create a combination. 

Hall of Gods also has three special symbols, a wild, a bonus icon, and a scatter. The wild is shown as a Serpent and can replace any standard or premium symbol along a payline. As for the bonus icon, it's shown as Thor's hammer, while the scatter icon is shown as a group of ravens. Both of these symbols can trigger their own corresponding bonus mode! 

The first bonus feature in Hall of Gods is relatively simple and revolves around the previously mentioned wild symbol. Should it be possible to form a combination with this icon, it will fully expand to fill the reel. After any potential winnings have been awarded, it will then return to a regular symbol before the next spin. 

Next up is the free spins mode that can be triggered if three or more scatter icons appear simultaneously. Players will be awarded with either 10, 15, or 20 spins, depending on whether 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols land in the base game. This round is rather basic. However, a 3x multiplier will be applied to any potential winnings. Additional free spins can also be awarded if three or more scatter symbols land at any point. 

Last but not least is arguably the most desirable feature in the game, activated when 3 'Bonus' symbols land during the same spin. Players will be taken to a board featuring 15 shields before being prompted to select one at a time. Different fixed values or a jackpot symbol will be hidden behind each, and when three of the same icon is revealed, the corresponding potential winnings will be awarded to the player. The available jackpots are the mini and midi variations, sitting at 100.00 and 5,000.00, respectively. Of course, there is also the mega jackpot, which is progressive. 

Being released in 2010, players will likely expect the rather basic visuals included in the Hall of Gods slot. With that being said, it does feature a variety of bonus features, including a free spins mode and a progressive jackpot!
