Wild Symbol

During the spins, the wild symbols can land on all reels, where 3, 4 or 5 of it pays 0.6X, 4X and 15X the bet respectively. It helps to enable more winning combinations by substituting for other symbols, except for the scatter symbols.

Wild Patterns Wheel

During your spins within the base game, you will see two halves of a square. These move to new positions with each spin and if you manage to land them so that they form a complete square, the Wild Patterns Wheel is activated. Then a wheel to the right of the reels will start spinning where it can land on a wild pattern or level up. If you land on a wild pattern, the current pattern will be placed out in a random position on the reels, where these positions will turn into wild symbols. If you land on the level up instead, you'll take part in a new spin, where better wild patterns can land. You can take part in up to 5 different levels with different patterns, as you can see in the picture below. Within the base game, the level is randomly selected to start with, while within the bonus game it always starts at level 1.

Free Spins

If you land 3 or more scatter symbols, the Free Spins feature is activated. You are then greeted with 5 free spins and depending on whether you landed 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols, will result in you receiving an instant win of either 2X, 10X or 100X the bet. Within this bonus game, the Wild Patterns Wheel will spin with each new spin, and you will always start at level 1. Each time a level up occurs, you will receive additional free spins.

North Guardians Slot Conclusion

Within this slot we meet a bunch of tough Vikings, who have a very lucrative Wild Patterns Wheel to show us. During the base game spins, you will see two halves of a square, which move during the spins to new locations. This is only a side thing that happens, but it is clearly the key to the game's real entertainment. By landing these two halves together so that they form a complete square, the adventure really kicks off. Then you will get a random pattern of wilds placed out on the reels. It is also possible to level up this wheel up to level 5, with each level spicing up the chances of winning bigger considerably. However, this happens very rarely in the base game, and it is largely only the normal wilds that provide the entertainment there. The Viking symbols pays good, but there is a large number of other symbols that also can land, where many pay rather poorly.

By landing 3 or more scatter symbols, you immediately go from a quieter existence to an adrenaline-packed adventure. What sets this bonus game apart from the base game spins, is the fact that each new spin made, will activate the Wild Patterns Wheel. This gives the player the opportunity to successfully spin the wheel a few times and obtain the more festive wild patterns available. There are only 5 free spins to start with, which may be considered incredibly low at first, but one immediately becomes forgiving when realizing that each level up provides extra free spins.

The game is clearly reliant on its bonus game and many times the base game spins can feel tedious when few things are happening. It has a good RTP by default, but players need to be wary if their gaming operator is using one of the lower RTPs associated with the game or not. It is a slot that at times requires enormous patience and one must be prepared for many rather boring base game spins. However, this is balanced out with an action-packed bonus game, where the patient player can be richly rewarded.

North Guardians is a slot from Pragmatic Play where we get to enjoy a lucrative Wild Patterns Wheel that can generate magical wild patterns on the reels.
