Theme and Design

Epic Mountain Scenery of Fire and Ice in This Norse Game

Yggdrasil invoke the world of Norse mythology – a common slots theme – for this game which features two of the most prominent gods, Thor (hammer, lightning, thunder) and Loki (shape shifter, trickster) who appear in a dual world of fire and ice. Epic mountains and fairy tale castles form the backdrop but there is no narrative to follow. It’s just about taking in the atmosphere, with ethereal soundtrack and strangely colored ravens who swoop in from time to time.

RTP and Variance

Ragnaravens has four RTP settings – 96%, 94%, 90.5% and 86%. It will be at your slot sites’ discretion which rate they choose to run the game at. It is obviously better to play at the highest available setting, but some UK casinos will choose as low as 90.5% or even 86%. So check the game rules page before you start spinning.

I recommend playing at MrQ from Lindar Media and Casumo, both of which consistently offer slots at the highest settings.

This is also a high variance slot, so expect it to be volatile with an uneven win distribution. It can kick out big payouts, but it can also be a tough play so set your stake accordingly as it can burn you.

Maximum Win

The maximum payout is 10,000x which is not bad for an Yggdrasil game. Occasionally they go higher – check out Vikings Go Bezerk Reloaded (25,000x) for example. If you want to chase down those bigger wins then check out our list of the highest max win slots.

Symbols and Paytable

The game area is 6 reels and 3 rows and it is a win way slot which means wins are paid for landing identical symbols on adjacent reels, in any row positions, from left to right, starting at the left most reel. That gives you 729 win ways in total (3x3x3x3x3x3).

Paytable and Rules Showing Wild Multipliers

But wait … Yggdrasil have double down on that number by making this a win both ways slot, so you can in fact also form win ways starting at the right most reel and working back the other way.

There are EIGHT pay symbols in the game. So, starting at the bottom of the table are the four low payers – king of mystical symbols in green, blue, red and orange. These are valued at up to 0.6x for 6 orange. The higher value symbols are the warrior items – spear, axe, shield and helmet. These are valued at up to 1.5x for 6 helmets.

Wild Symbols come in multiple formats and are a big part of the gameplay. They substitute for other pay symbols to complete win ways and deliver multipliers and re-spins as explained in the next part. They do NOT have a pay value of their own.

Features and Gameplay

The gameplay is supplemented with wilds and free spins. Here is how it works.

Ravens Bring Multiplier Wilds

First up are the blue and gold raven wilds that land on reels 2 and 5. They drop with a multiplier figure attached and when they are part of a winning combination, then they trigger a re-spin. The multiplier is applied to any win that the raven wild forms part of AND the multiplier value increase with each successive win.

This feature continues, with the raven wild in place until no more wins are formed.

Warrior Countdown Wilds

Watch for the Norse gods – Thor and Loki - in blue and red that represent the ‘countdown’ wilds. They come with a number of 2, 3 of 4 attached. If they form part of a win then re-spins ensure with the wild locked in. Re-spins continue with each successive win until the number on the countdown wild reaches zero.

Wild Combo Wins

There is a combination feature too if you have 2 multiplier wilds in play when 1 or more countdown wilds land, then the countdown wild gets a multiplier boost at the same time.

Up To 10 Free Spins With More Wilds

The free spins round is triggered by landing 3 or more Free Spins symbols on reels 3, 4 and 5 on one spin. This gets you 7 or 10 spins for 3 or 4 Free Spins symbols. The gameplay stays the same but now there are MORE wilds in play on the reels. And of course … you can extend the round by triggering re-spins via the wilds.

Final Verdict

RagnaRavens WildEnergy will appeal to those who like the Norse-themed slots for their epic atmosphere, and who have the patience to take on highly volatile games. But whilst there is no doubt that on its day RagnaRavens can go pop, when it doesn’t then it will feel like a real grind. The wilds-multipliers-respins configuration has its moments, but overall I felt like the game lacked the pizazz necessary in the base game to make it worth sticking around for the Hollywood moments that might come later.
