First of all, we really enjoyed the base game soundtrack in this game, which seems inspired by the world famous Polish-Norwegian saxophonist and composer, Jan Garbarek. It’s not too often you get to hear such cold, sustained nordic tones in an online slot, and Viking Fury Spinfinity is hardly as violent as the title may suggest. The Spinfinity™ system is a neat innovation, and it provides indefinite winning streaks where the grid nudges in 1 of 4 directions per win (determined by the spin button compass needle).
This is somewhat akin to the Infinity Reels system, but without the hiccup of having to reset the grid all the time. In addition, multiplier symbols can accumulate per Spinfinity sequence, and build up a solid win multiplier that’s applied to your total win. Extra multiplier symbols are added in the bonus round, which increases your odds of cracking the10,000x potential. We had a great time testing Viking Fury Spinfinity, and we recommend that you check it out immediately after reading this review.
You win by landing8-9 to 12+ matching symbolsanywhere in view, and the former pays between 0.2 and 2 x your stake, while the latter awards between 0.6 and 50 x your stake. In a somewhat unusual twist for aPay Anywhereslot, you actually get aWild symbolthat steps in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve scatter wins. The viking ship wild serves double duty as a scatter as well, and Mystery symbols all turn into the same randomly chosen matching symbol when they land.
TheSpinfinity Compassnext to the grid serves as the spin button, and you will see the compass needle move in different directions at random times. When a win is formed on the grid, the reels will move one step in the direction indicated by the compass needle, and this Spinfinity feature repeats as long as you keep winning. The possible directions are up, down, right, and left.
You can landViking Fury Multiplier symbolsat random times, and their values are added together so that the multiplier accumulates per symbol. The total multiplier you have racked up at the end of a Spinfinity sequence will then boost your total win.

TheExtra Bet featureis available in some jurisdictions, and it allows eligible players to pay25 % extrato trigger the bonus round with 3 wild/scatters instead of 4. Non-UK Players, and anyone eligible, can buy theregular bonus roundfor100x the stake. TheUltimate Fury Bonus Roundcosts350x the stake, and it comes with active mystery symbols. The RTP does not change unless you purchase the latter, in which case it increases to 96.28 %.
You get a brief taste of the base game, before we purchase the regular bonus round at 0:30 into the 3:48-minute highlights video. We purchase the Ultimate Fury Bonus Round right after, at 2:06 to be precise, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.
We have to say that Viking Fury Spinfinity took us by surprise in more than one way, and the Spinfinity mechanic is a genius innovation. It elegantly solves the grid reset fatigue you typically get with the Infinity Reels engine, and the pace of the game is excellent all the way (with 3 settings to choose from). The scatter Pay Anywhere system is perfect for this innovation as well, as it can easily lead to back to back wins on a regular basis. The randomized compass direction system is also fun, as it keeps things varied and mixed up in the base game.
Throw accumulating multiplier symbols into the mix, and you’ve got yourself a highly explosive and potent base game that can lead to solid payouts out of the blue. Up to10,000x your stakeis possible in that regard, and your chances increase when extra multiplier symbols are added to the reel strips in the bonus round. The 1 in 470 spins bonus round hit rate presumably improves via the Extra Bet feature, and Blueprint could’ve been clearer about this in the info section. Overall, Viking Fury Spinfinity adds up to a great release from Blueprint, and it’s a game we will return to many times in the future.
