TROLL HUNTERS SYMBOLS AND BONUS FEATURES
Trolls were known as man-eaters, plaguing the Scandinavian villages foolishly close to the base of the mountain. Only a few brave souls were not afraid to hunt these legendary creatures. Meet three female Norse Viking warriors wielding a hammer, sword and axe.
Each of these Vikings represents one of the 3 top-paying regular symbols. Others include an earring, a pair of earrings, an ale mug, a pair of ale mugs and meat on a bone. It really helps that the slot allows you to mix the single and pair of earrings or the ale mug and pair of ale mugs into their own winning combinations.
The howling winds, chirping birds and sounds of water lapping against the shore create a feeling of remoteness. An epic tune plays as the reels spin while one of the animated Vikings stands to the reels' right. Gusts of wind and snow blow behind the playing area, reinforcing the frigid atmosphere.
The slot features a golden rune, which acts as a wild symbol, substituting all others. On each spin, symbols drop into position and explode on a winning combination of 3 or more identical symbols horizontally or vertically touching. The remaining symbols drop down to fill in the gaps, but no new ones are added. On a winning combination of 3 symbols, a wild is left in the centre position. During this Drop Feature, a win multiplier increases on each consecutive drop, only resetting at the end.
One of your desired outcomes should be to clear the entire grid of symbols to collect an impressive full clear prize equivalent to 1,000x your bet!
The five rows in a column spell out the word B-O-N-U-S but are concealed behind each of the 5 symbols. Clearing the symbols through winning combinations exposes these hidden letters on each reel. Reveal all letters on one or more reels to begin your 10 Free Spins adventure, where you'll be transported to a troll's dark, cold cave.
It's quite exciting that aside from the 3 Norse Viking symbols, you'll find a whole new set of symbols: an axe, a hammer, sword, shield, helmet, bracelets and lantern. The Free Spins begin with a starting multiplier, determined by the number of exposed B-O-N-U-S words that initially triggered it. During the Free Spins only, wins are activated simply by collecting 5 or more of the same symbol anywhere on the grid. The wild symbol is removed, but a troll bonus symbol is introduced that can re-trigger 10 additional Free Spins in 5 or more instances. Players can win up to 20 Free Spins.
RTP OF TROLL HUNTERS
Troll Hunters has a lower RTP of 94.74%, with medium volatility. Medium volatility slots are great for players accepting higher risk relative to low volatility, for the chance of higher payouts, while avoiding full-blown high volatility.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
Although Troll Hunters was released in 2013, it has aged exceptionally well and remains popular. The combination of unusual artwork, features, and soundtrack has left Canadians coming back for more.
The sequel, Troll Hunters 2, was released in June 2020, but we expect a degree of nostalgia will keep the original going strong into the foreseeable future.
