Pragmatic Play enters the realm of the gods in Asgard

Online gambling games provider Pragmatic Play has announced the launch of Asgard, a new video slot taking players to the land of the mythical Norse gods.

Situated in the home of the famous Viking deities, the 5 reel, 25 pay-line video slot puts players in the middle of a tense stand-off between Aesir and Vanir, the two schools of gods, complete with a dynamic soundtrack and immersive presentation. The game has a claimed RTP of 96.48 percent.

The graphics depict gleaming spires, giant waterfalls that tumble into the void between realms, and as is expected in the home of the gods, there is wealth to be won.

At any time, the gods can randomly add a twist to the spinning reels. Thor can bring his might to bear, turning royal symbols into wilds with a crack of lightning, while Loki can use his mysterious powers to trigger mystery stacked symbols, Freyja adds random Wilds to the reels and Odin drops expanded Wilds.

The gods can also grant their blessings on players to trigger multiple spins, with three or more Valkyrie helmets triggering the free spins feature.

Asgard is certainly a popular theme this year – earlier releases featuring this title have been made by both Microgaming and RTG
