Vikings Runecraft Apocalypse is a 7x7 game from Play’n GO, with the chance to win up to 5,000x your bet. The game works with the cluster pays mechanism rather than traditional paylines like most slots, so you don’t need to match symbols on adjacent reels to win - they need to touch each other.
Vikings Runecraft Apocalypse has several special features, like Gift of the Gods, which can help you bag a win even if you don’t match enough symbols initially. There’s also a charge metre, which activates after you’ve had enough winning symbols, resulting in even more wins, sometimes with a multiplier.
The game is set against an icy backdrop, with an intimidating Viking presiding over the game board. A storming soundtrack ensures that you stay totally in the zone. Read on to learn how to play this game at the talkSPORT BET Casino today.
Playing Vikings Runecraft Apocalypse is simple, but you’ll need to create your talkSPORT BET account before you can get started. You can do this by clicking on the signup link at the top of our homepage and providing details like your name, email address, date of birth, address, and mobile number.
Once you’ve verified your account, use your bank card or Apple Pay to top up your account balance, and don’t forget to claim your welcome offer. Then, head to the games lobby and open the slot.
To set your stake, click on the menu option to the left of the grid and then drag the bar to increase or decrease your bet amount. The game doesn’t have paylines, so there’s nothing else to adjust.
Symbols drop in from the top of the grid, and to trigger a win, you need to get at least five symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Winning symbols are removed from the grid, and new ones drop into their place, giving you extra chances to land a win.
The high-paying symbols in this game are Viking-related items like a helmet and an axe, while the lower-paying symbols are the five different rune symbols. There are no wilds or scatters to look out for on the game grid.

Vikings Runecraft Apocalypse has several notable features, and there are even chances to transform non-winning rounds into potential wins, as explained below:
The Gift of the Gods feature can trigger on non-winning game rounds. The God of Thunder can strike the grid, creating five to nine wild symbols; the God of Wisdom can create four wilds in groups of two; the Goddess of Beauty creates wilds in four clusters until at least one win is achieved; and the God of Guarding creates a wild on each row.
You’ll move to a new level every time you clear a specific pattern on the game grid and you can clear the patterns by winning on all of the positions indicated on the grid.
If you win on five different Rune Stone symbols, you’ll collect them. Collect at least one stone and clear the current pattern on the grid, and you’ll trigger the Runes of Valhalla bonus game, which takes the form of a virtual wheel. Collected Rune Stones activate winning spaces on the bonus wheel, and if you hit any of these spaces when spinning the wheel, you’ll get the bonus shown.
This special metre charges up when you win and activates after 20 winning symbols. Several different features can then be triggered; for example, one transforms symbols on the grid into different ones, while another burns symbols to destroy them. Win on 40 symbols to trigger the Ragnarök feature with a multiplier of up to 15x.
