Erik the Red

Relax Gaming has just launched Erik the Red, a video slot game that we're excited to have in our collection. Let's get into what you can expect from this new experience, featuring the Norse explorer of legend.

Icons include shields, drinking vessels, helmets, and a viking girl, as well as Erik the Red himself. The game has five reels and four rows, set against a background of a sea littered with viking ships. We are really impressed by the graphics on this game.

A sword is the wild icon, and can expand to take over the entire reel. This is a great feature for those who like some good wild action. Erik the Red can also expand, delivering big wins. You'll never know when you're going to get a big chunk of change!

A snowflake is the scatter icon. You'll need to have at least three on the reels to trigger the free spins round. During this feature, a wooden sign hangs off the reels that lets you know how many free spins you have left. And on the other side, you'll see how much you've won so far with free spins. When they're done, you'll have a pay out.

There are 20 pay lines. The minimum wager is .01 and the max is 100 coins, with a maximum win of 95,920 credits in this low to medium variance slot. The return to player ratio is 96.96%.

Before you start the game, be sure to set all of your parameters, including auto play, which allows you to let the game go on its own unless you lose or win a certain amount (of your choosing). There's also instant play, which does away with lengthy wheel spinning and payout animations.
