Viking Runecraft 1000 by Play’n GO is pretty much the same as the original slot Viking Runecraft, except this time you have a 1,000x multiplier. Goodbye.
[Whistles ♫♪♪♫♪♪♫♫♪]
Oh, I almost forgot…
This is an impressive upgrade from the game released earlier in the series, Viking Runecraft 100, which possessed a maximum multiplier of 100x. Goodbye.

Oh, yes, that’s right, some of you may not have played this Viking Runecraft slot series by Play’n GO before; therefore, I roll up my trouser legs and announce the Viking Runecraft 1000 slot review, hosted by me and played by my special guest, Bjorn To Be Wild. Coming up, access to the free slot demo, entry into the best casinos, and gaming insight that will include features, prizes, and gaming mechanics.


Viking Runecraft 1000? Looks like I’m not the only one butchering things.

Thank you, maestro.
Seems the developer is doing their best to keep the original game alive, but why resort to corporate tactics by rehashing old games with one or two new flashy gimmicks? Well, we’re here now, and whilst the pillaging of the next village is on hold, join me as I discover what the Norse Gods are getting up to this time.
The Viking Runecraft 1000 slot RTP is 96.2%, with a high volatility programmed into the gameplay. This means that the frequency of winning hits greatly diminishes, and periods of play will be fruitless. However, the volatility can at times produce a big win as compensation for your patience.
The slot plays on a grid of five rows and six reels, and uses a Cluster Pays mechanic to win. This means you need to form clusters of matching symbols of eight or more to win a payout. The highest of which is 60,000x your bet. Now, bets can be as low as $0.10 but as high as $50, which means the jackpot for this game can hit $3,000,000! Now, when it comes to value for money, this is literally the only positive about the game.
We all know what the 1000 is for in the title, but what other features and bonuses await you in this revamp? Well, you have the game’s side bet GO Ultra feature, there is a free spins bonus, and that’s it; everything else is all about multipliers, multiplier upgrades, and yeah, it’s very multiplier-heavy.
Well, it’s not so much of a rehash of the original Viking Runecraft slot. In fact, it’s so far removed from that that I’ve now lost all concept of time, space, and being. Many of the great qualities of the first and second games are lost. This is not as epic or grand in scale. It’s as if the Norse Gods got woke up to work on a Sunday.
If you want to check out the better games in this Viking series, then check out Viking Runecraft, Viking Runecraft Apocalypse, and Viking Runecraft 100.
Well, I’m looking at the game, and I’m wondering where Viking Runecraft is? The same Gods appear as they did in Viking Runecraft 100 (Thor, Freya, and Heimdall), but the rest of the game seems to have fallen off the board.
By God! They’ve removed the Rune Charger (nearly faints).
Right, I’ve seen enough, let’s battle this out and hopefully bury it so deep, we can forget it ever came to be. With my bets set to $2 per spin, I go full force upon the game. Well, I played ten spins and absolutely nothing happened. Zilch, nada, which now means I have to increase my bet because something’s gotta give, right? I raise my stake to $3.50 per spin and battle on.
On the third spin, the Gods swap, with Thor now taking over from Heimdall. Finally, two spins later, the first win, a pathetic $0.35, lands, triggering a Cascading Reels mechanism that leads to no further wins. Six spins later, a run of five consecutive wins produces a return of $7.
Realizing I’m getting nowhere fast, I raise the stake to $5 per spin and play out ten final spins. Whoopie, an instant win of $1. Five spins later, $4.50. Well, that’s all that came from the ten spins. Boy, the hit rate is awful, and the returns are terrible, a perfect example of why I hate Cluster Pay slots. Well, that’s only got me in the mood to go on a pillaging spree.
Till next time, turrah.
