As the old saying goes—fortune favours the brave—and the Vikings in the 4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing slot certainly embody that spirit as they sail the seas in search of fortune. Set against a stunning backdrop, they navigate their ship through icy fjords, with the skies ablaze in a soft pink sunrise framed by fluffy clouds. The bonus rounds take you deeper into the ice-capped fjords and the magnificent northern lights dance in the sky.

The sound effects immerse you in the Viking world with dramatic drumbeats from the mighty longship, the gentle lapping of waves, and the distant cries of seagulls, bringing the maritime scene to life.

The game’s grid resembles a Viking ship, where you’ll encounter 4 fierce warriors—Gunnar, Yngue, Knut, and Sigrid—faces marked with war paint, guided by the gods, and ready for battle.

Gunnar, the brown-bearded warrior, is the symbol with the highest value on the reels. Here are the values of all of the crew and the other seafaring symbols:

• Gunnar: 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.40, 1.00, 3.00, 5.00 or 10.00 x bet
• Yngue: 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.20, 0.50, 1.50, 3.00 or 5.00 x bet

• Sigrid: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.40, 1.00, 2.00 or 3.00 x bet
• Squid: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.40, 1.00, 2.00 04 3.00 x bet
• Seagull: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.30, 0.70, 1.50 or 2.50 x bet
• Gold Coin: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.30, 0.70, 1.50 or 2.50 x bet

4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing Mobile

Rest assured, the 4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing slot delivers a fantastic mobile experience, as 4ThePlayer is known for its mobile-first approach. The studio has even trademarked its ‘Big Reel Portrait Mode,’ when I played the game in portrait mode on my Android device, it looked stunning, fully utilising the entire screen. I also tested it on a desktop; the experience was equally impressive.

There are 6 bonus features to play during the 4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing Slot.

Giant Squid 

The Giant Squid can appear on any spin. During the base game it moves around cash prizes to create or improve a win. Cash prizes are moved and locked onto the open reels during the Respin Bonus.

Money Ways

Fish symbols can land on any reel and they have cash prizes attached to them which range from 1.8x to 50x the bet. You can see the full list of values in the table below. These prizes can land during the base game and the Fighting Respins bonus. If the Giant Squid bonus is randomly triggered, then it may move cash prizes to alternative reels.

Big Game Prizes

The Big Game Prizes land on reel 6 only and they have various values. The Big Prize is worth 100 x the bet, the Super Prize is worth 250 x the bet, the Mega Prize is worth 1,000 x the bet, and the Ultra Prize is worth 5,000 x the bet. Like the fish symbol cash prizes, the Big Game prizes can land during the base game and the Fighting Respins bonus. If the Giant Squid bonus is randomly triggered, it may move Big Game prizes to alternative reels.

Viking Fights

During this bonus, Vikings can collect coins if they land on their own reels. Every coin collected has a chance to trigger the Fighting Respins feature. The Viking that collected the coin will be berzerk in the feature and win the fight automatically. Vikings can collect coins during the Fighting Respins. Each Viking has a different speciality:

• Gunnar: Collects all cash prizes in view
• Yngue: increases all cash prizes in view
• Knut: Creates cash prizes multiplier
• Sigrid: Creates nets to catch cash prizes

Fighting Respins

Landing 3 or more scatters retriggers the Fighting Respins bonus; whichever reel a scatter lands on will stay open during the feature with the other reels closed. Every fish symbol that lands on the triggering spin also gets locked onto the reels like the scatters. Every newly locked cash prize and scatter symbol resets the game to 3 respins. The symbols below also bring extra awards:

• Vikings: Viking symbols can land on any open reel and fight to award 1 of 4 unique features: Cash Collect, Cash Multiplier, Cash Incrementor and Cash Nets.

• Shark: You can see shark swim his way up the reel and eat the reels’ cash prizes to combine them and then multiply by 2x.

Buy Feature

If you're playing from outside of the UK, you can use the Buy Feature functionality, where there are 2 options available:

• You can enter the Fighting Respins Bonus with a chance of berzerk Vikings for 125 x the bet
• You can enter enter the Mega Respin Bonus with 4 berzerk Vikings for 500 x the bet

So, has merging these two games been a success? Absolutely! The 4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing slot brilliantly combines elements from both series. The game features 4 Fantastic Fish's Money Ways, where you collect cash prizes, and Fighting Respins, a signature 4ThePlayer feature that locks in scatters and fish symbols for exciting rounds.

During the Fighting Respins, I managed to trigger extra free spins, thanks to the feature kicking in whenever a new scatter or fish symbol locked into place. I thoroughly enjoyed this bonus. The Viking Fights and shark symbols looked incredible on screen, especially when the shark devoured cash prizes and added a 2x multiplier.

The Viking Fights feature, borrowed from Vikings Go Berzerk, adds extra excitement. The Viking who grabs the coin goes berzerk and automatically wins the fight. Each Viking brings something unique to the table during these rounds, such as collecting and boosting prizes.

A personal favourite of mine, the Giant Squid from 4 Fantastic Fish, also makes an appearance. It can appear at random in both the base game and bonus rounds, rearranging symbols for even more winning potential. Visually, it’s impressive and adds an enticing twist to the game.

The concept of fishing and vikings has been brought together seamlessly, with immersive gameplay and creative elements largely inspired by Vikings Go Berzerk.  It truly feels like the best of both worlds, with 4ThePlayer’s brilliant bonus features adding to the experience.

The only downside is the slightly lower RTP of 94%, but that's the only drawback I can point out.

This game will appear to fans of the popular 4 Fantastic Fish series by 4ThePlayer which includes 4 Fantastic Fish Gigablox and 4 Fantastic Fish Gold Dream Drop. As well as fans of Yggdrasil’s hit Vikings Go Berzerk series which is a big hit.

If you’re partial to a fishing-themed game - and I know a lot of players are -  you’ll also enjoy 4 Fantastic Vikings Go Fishing. You should check out these OLBG guides for the Big Bass slot series and the Fishing Frenzy slot series.

And for Viking enthusiasts, don’t miss the review of the official Vikings slot based on the hit TV series.
