How does the Asgardian Stones slot work?
You can bet from C$0.20 and up to C$200 per spin. Well, spin. Asgardian Stones doesn't spin. The symbols are on giant boulders that fall down. You might know this Avalanche feature from Gonzo's Quest, one of the most popular NetEnt slots.
Asgardian Stones has a slightly improved Avalanche feature. Winning symbols explode, the rest thunders down and new symbols appear on the empty spots. So you can get a winning combination several times in a row in one spin.
The symbols are a combination of playing card symbols and Norse Gods. Gods like Odin, Freya and Thor call the shots on the Asgardian Stones slot machine. Payouts run up to and including 500 times the bet per payline for a five-of-a-kind of Thor symbols.
The Wild is joker for the five Norse Gods and the five playing card symbols.
Colossal Crush feature
The Avalanche feature is a little different than on Gonzo's Quest. You don't get a higher multiplier after each re-fall. For that, you must first crush some other symbols with Colossal Symbols.
In addition to normal boulders, colossal symbols measuring 2 by 2 and 3 by 3 also fall down. During the re-falls after a win, Colossal Symbols crush all symbols that are below the Colossal Symbol. In this way you not only make room for new symbols, but also raise the multiplier.
The maximum multiplier is x4. A five-of-a-kind of boulders with Thor on top yields 2,000 times the bet per payline with multiplier.
How does the bonus game of Asgardian Stones work?
One of the colossal symbols is the symbol with the Bonus Wheel of Fortune on it. When you have this symbol on your screen, you get spins on this Wheel of Fortune. You get one spin per row. So a complete Wheel of Fortune symbol gives you 3 spins.
You can unlock free spins, cash wins or a combination of the two. The maximum number of free spins you can unlock at once is 15. Cash wins run up to a maximum of 36 times your stake.
The bonus spins are played with Colossal Wild symbols. Such a Colossal Wild almost always results in a win. A winning Colossal Symbol explodes and turns into 9 small Wild symbols. With these 9 small Wild symbols you can still take a win in the re-avalanche.
The Bonus Wheel of Fortune also participates during the bonus game. You can unlock up to 3 times extra free spins. A total of up to 25 extra spins, which means you can play 40 at a time.
