Level up Thora and Ragnar through eight ranks of Viking battles
Landing shield-and-sword symbols on reels one, three and five instantly pays 2x your total bet and launches the War Bonus, where you battle three monsters across the Forest of Fortune or Sea of Glory.
Surviving all three rounds of combat in the War Bonus awards 1, 2, 5 or 10 Victory Spins, with the total decided by your character, kingdom, and how many spins it took to fell the final monster.
After any base game win, a hidden multiplier reel can appear and boost your prize anywhere from x2 up to x20, x25, or x30 depending on your current level.
The Wild substitutes for every other symbol except the game's premium icons, and five matching Wilds on a line pay out 1,500 coins.
Earning XP moves Thora and Ragnar through eight scenarios — from Wanderer to Champion — unlocking new weapons like fire arrows, fire hammers, and eventually ice-forged gear.
Choose your coin value, from 1 to 200 credits, and set your bet anywhere between 30 and 6,000 coins per spin across the 30 paylines.
Watch for the nine pay symbols per paytable, including coins, sea creatures, stones, and the top-paying Wild joker.
Land shield-and-sword symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 to collect an instant 2x bet payout and enter the three-round monster battle.
Rack up XP to progress through the eight character scenarios, unlocking bigger Mystery Multiplier Reel values as you advance from Wanderer to Champion.
The War Bonus is triggered whenever shield-and-sword symbols land on reels one, three, and five, immediately paying out double your total bet before dropping you into a three-round brawl against monsters drawn from either the Forest of Fortune or the Sea of Glory — think snarling wolves and a shadowy hidden killer on land, or colossal crabs, poisonous octopuses, and a serpent capable of striking from both ends at sea; every spin during this bonus can harm your foe, stun them, or shield you from their attack, and surviving all three rounds hands you between one and ten Victory Spins where wilds and bonus symbols work overtime to fatten your payout.
Thora and Ragnar aren’t your typical slot mascots — they’re leveling-up warriors who fight their way from Wanderer to Champion across eight distinct scenarios, picking up new weapons and multiplier tiers as they climb. IGT built this fantasy title around a genuinely evolving story arc rather than a static reel set, which gives repeat sessions a sense of progression you don’t often get from a 5×3, 30-payline slot.
The mechanical backbone is straightforward: nine pay symbols per paytable, a Wild joker capable of a 1,500-coin payout, and a Mystery Multiplier Reel that can inflate any base game win by up to x30 once you’ve leveled far enough. Layered on top is the War Bonus, triggered by shield-and-sword symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5, which turns each free spin into a mini combat round against wolves, crabs, serpents, and other Norse-flavored monsters before rewarding survivors with Victory Spins.
Betting is accessible too, with stakes running from 30 to 6,000 coins depending on coin value, so both casual spinners and bigger bettors can chase the same epic loot. Runs instantly in any browser on desktop or mobile — no downloads, no plugins, just Vikings, sea monsters, and a multiplier chase worth taking seriously.
Nordic Heroes runs on a 5×3 reel layout with 30 fixed paylines, and bets can be adjusted from 30 up to 6,000 coins depending on your chosen coin value.
Landing shield-and-sword symbols on reels one, three, and five pays out 2x your total bet and launches the War Bonus, a three-round battle against monsters from the Forest of Fortune or Sea of Glory.
The Wild substitutes for every symbol except the bonus icons and is the game’s top payer, awarding 1,500 coins for five matching Wilds on a line.
Earning XP through wins moves your character through eight scenarios — Wanderer, Traveler, Explorer, Adventurer, Defender, Hunter, Idol, and Champion — each unlocking new weapons and higher Mystery Multiplier Reel values.
The Mystery Multiplier Reel can boost base game wins by up to x20 in the earlier scenarios, x25 at the Hunter level, and up to x30 once you reach the Idol and Champion scenarios.
