About Battle Maidens
Battle Maidens is an engrossing adventure-themed slot that throws you into the throes of battle with Vikings. Adding to the Viking environment, the background features a Viking ship and stave church while the main cast of characters includes five warrior maidens who invite you in their conquest of invading a fortress. The maidens' names are Alfhild, Eldfrid, Hellevi, Snefrid, and Solvej, and each comes armed with a unique ability. Depending upon your luck and skill, you can win up to 1,250x on a single spin.
Developed and published by 1X2 Gaming on November 30th, 2019, this slot contains 5 reels, 4 rows, over 1,000 paylines, and a 96% RTP, resulting in a medium variance gameplay. The betting range starts at 0.20 per spin and ends at 20.00 per spin, meaning the slot is perfect for a casual player or someone wishing to place low bets.
Special Features
While the shieldmaidens are probably the crowning feature of this slot, they are actually scatter symbols. As such, during the base game, the icons you will be encountering the most include Viking weapons and shields, a drinking horn, and a helmet. In particular, the symbol to keep your eyes peeled is the blue shield and sword. This symbol offers 250x for five on a payline. The goal to winning the base game is to land three to five matching symbols on a payline but to truly maximize your winnings, you need assistance from the shieldmaidens.
Bonus Features
The shieldmaidens have a few tricks up their sleeves which are unlocked during the free spins feature. During this feature, you will be rewarded with five different extras, courtesy of our valiant Viking warriors. Each shieldmaiden can only land on one reel: Hellevi on reel 1, Eldfrid on reel 2, Alfhild on reel 3, Snefrid on reel 4, and Solvej on reel 5. By matching three of them on the reels, you will gain 10 freebies. However, these prizes depend upon which shieldmaiden activates the feature. The shieldmaidens’ unique powers are as follows:
- Hellevi transforms into a wild symbol during the bonus round and transforms the other symbols into wilds.
- Eldfrid turns into a sticky wild remaining on the reels through the next spin.
- Alfhild graciously gifts you 2 extra free spins.
- Snefrid increases the multiplier boost by 1x every time the symbol lands
- Solvej becomes a wild that covers an entire reel when she appears
