Pragmatic Play has chosen a Viking theme to drive the action and has presented rather nicely. There’s nothing revolutionary about the audio-visuals, yet everything from the carved framed game grid to the glowing braziers to the snowy outdoor scene has a satisfying Viking feel. You won’t find hordes of berserkers piling into the action, but the two characters who do show up are charismatic enough on their own to carry the game.
North Guardians is a highly volatile slot played over a 5×5 aligned grid with 50 fixed paylines. The RTP can chop and change depending on operators’ settings, so if you’re looking for the most benevolent version, that would be the 96.38% one. Interestingly, buying free spins slashes the return value down a notch to 96.29%. Base bets begin at 50 p/c per spin before rising to a maximum of £/€100 a pop.
Eleven regular pay symbols appear on the reels, all paying left to right in adjacent reels from the leftmost side. Low-value symbols are represented by five runic objects, worth a very precise 0.48 to 0.8 times the stake, then come mid-value axes, horseshoes, horns, and coins worth 1.2 to 3.6 times the stake for five of a kind. Lastly, the two premium symbols are a female and male Viking, paying 6-10 times the stake for five of a kind. What looks like Odin is the wild, which lands in any position to replace regular pay symbols. Landing five wilds on a line triggers a payout of 15x the bet.
Free Spins
Hitting 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols awards 5 free spins plus a cash win of 2x, 10x, or 100x the bet, respectively. In the bonus round, the Wild Pattern Wheel is active on every single spin. The wheel starts on level 1, and following a Level Up result, it does not reset. Also, when progressing to Levels 2, 3, or 4, players get +2 additional free spins each time. When reaching the fifth level, +1 free spin is awarded.

Where this option presents itself, players may instantly trigger the main feature by hitting the bonus buy button. The cost for this is 100 times the total bet, and has mentioned earlier, doing so slightly lowers RTP by 0.11%.
