‘’Asgardian Stones is an exciting new video slot by NetEnt which offers multiple great feature. With the Avalanche feature you will win until no combination appear. Besides that you can win big with the Free Spins Feature, Colossal Symbols (Wilds) and the Colossal Crush Feature!’’

Introduction

NetEnt presents the Asgardian Stones Video Slot, a captivating addition to their portfolio of games. Set in the realm of Norse mythology, this game features 5 reels and 20 paylines, providing players with numerous opportunities to land winning combinations. With a commendable RTP of 96.31%, players can expect a rewarding gaming experience that offers both excitement and fairness.

One of the highlights of Asgardian Stones is its variety of features, each designed to enhance gameplay and increase the potential for substantial payouts. These features include the Colossal Crush Feature, the Free Spins Feature, and the Avalanche Feature. Each feature adds depth to the gameplay and introduces unique mechanics that keep players engaged and entertained.

In the sections below, I will explore each feature in detail, explaining how they work and the benefits they offer to players seeking thrilling and lucrative gaming experiences.

Symbols

During gameplay in Asgardian Stones, players aim to create winning combinations by aligning symbols across one or more of the game’s 20 paylines. Among the symbols, four high-paying Norse characters stand out, with the red one offering the highest rewards. Following closely are the green, blue, and purple gods, each contributing to potentially lucrative wins. Additionally, players encounter a grey god symbol, offering payouts slightly lower than those of the purple god, along with traditional card symbols Q, K, and A.

To aid players in their quest for winnings, Asgardian Stones introduces a Wild symbol, which acts as a substitute for all other symbols except the Bonus Wheel. This versatile symbol enhances players’ chances of landing winning combinations and adds an element of excitement to the gameplay experience.

Colossal Symbols

In both the main game and Free Spins mode of Asgardian Stones, players have the chance to encounter Colossal Symbols. These symbols can be sized at 2×2 or 3×3 and can represent any symbol except the Wild symbol. Colossal Symbols add an intriguing dimension to the gameplay, potentially leading to significant wins. However, it’s worth noting that sometimes a portion of the Colossal Symbol may extend beyond the visible screen area, and these portions do not contribute to winning combinations.

Game Play

Gameplay in Asgardian Stones involves symbols cascading down onto the screen. When players achieve a winning combination, the symbols involved disappear, creating space for new symbols to cascade down and potentially form new winning paylines. If no new winning combinations are formed, the round concludes. The gameplay mechanics bear resemblance to those of the popular NetEnt game Gonzo’s Quest, although Asgardian Stones does not feature an increasing multiplier during the regular game.

Colossal Crush Feature

Among the available features in Asgardian Stones is the Colossal Crush Feature, which adds excitement and potential for big wins. This feature activates after every initial avalanche, requiring players to achieve at least one winning combination beforehand. Once triggered, a large Colossal Symbol (sized at 2×2 or 3×3) drops onto the screen and crushes one or more layers of symbols. With each layer crushed, the multiplier increases by x1, with a maximum multiplier of x4. Landing a rewarding combination at the maximum multiplier can result in substantial payouts. However, it’s important to note that a Colossal Crush symbol does not always guarantee a winning combination.

Bonus Wheel Feature

When you land the Bonus Wheel you can win coins or up to 15 Free Spins. The Bonus Wheel is a 3×3 symbol which only appears on the last three reels of the slot. The Bonus Wheel can appear during the regular and the bonus game. Once all avalanches are over the Bonus Wheel will spin and give you a Free Spins Bonus or a Coin Win (or a combination). You will only win the prize displayed in the active field (surrounded with a gold colour). It works like this;

1. When you land the Bonus Wheel on one row you will get 1 prize.
2. If you land the Bonus Wheel on two rows you will receive 2 prizes.
3. When the Bonus Wheel is fully displayed you will receive 3 prizes.

Every prize can be 5 Free Spins or a coin win. All coin wins on the Bonus Wheel are also multiplied. A coin win from the Bonus Wheel is 1,2 or 5 times you total bet.

Free Spins Feature

When you land one or more Free Spins symbols in the Bonus Wheel the Free Spins Feature will be unlocked. For every Free Spins symbol you collect you will be awarded with 5 Free Spins. This means you can win 5, 10 or 15 Free Spins. During Free Spins you enjoy a couple of cool feature. One of the special feature is a Colossal Wild. This Wild can be 2×2 or 3×3. Landing one of these will bring huge wins! Besides that you can retrigger the Free Spins Feature by landing another Bonus Wheel during Free Spins. In this way you can activate up to 25 additional Free Spins.

Settings and Bets

While playing Asgardian Stones by NetEnt you can set a autoplay feature if you don’t like to click all the time. This video slot is also featured with a quick spin setting and a special layout for left handed players. You can place a bet by choosing a bet level and a coin value. You can choose your bet level between 1 and 10. The minimum coin value if €0,01 and the maximum value is €1,00. Because of this the minimum bet is €0,20 per spin and the maximum is €200,-.

Winnings

I have tried the Asgardian Stones Video Slot today and I must say the winnings didn’t disappointed me. While playing I got some decent winning from time to time. And the Colossal Crush Feature payed me almost x100 one time. In the end of my testing I landed the Free Spins Feature (10 Free Spins). During my Free Spins I landed one good win with a Wild Colossal. Because of this I won some decent money (around €80,0). Which is not bad for a NetEnt Bonus Feature.

Looking at the numbers Asgardian Stones isn’t that bad either. The game offers a 96,31% RTP and a maximum win of 4.000x your stake on one single spin (x4 multiplier).

My Verdict

To be fair, I didn’t really liked the last few NetEnt Slots. The Witchcraft Academy was a bit boring, the Phantom’s Curse payed horrible and Finn and the Swirly Spin wasn’t my of tea either. But with Asgardian Stones NetEnt seems to break with this new trend. The game pays well, offers multiple exciting features and the graphics and sounds are really cool. Because of this I think this is one of NetEnt best’s latest creations. I even think it might be better than the Planet of the Apes video slot, which I really liked. What’s your opinion about this new game? Let me know in a comment!

Alternative Launch Date

The Asgardian Stones Video Slot will be available in most online casino and countries starting the 22^nd of February 2018. For some countries there will be an alternative launch date.
