Skadi's Hunt Slot Game

Skadi’s Hunt, deeply inspired by Norse mythology, takes players to the frozen north to hunt for big wins alongside the gorgeous goddess of the wilderness, Skadi. Developer IGT has put a lot of effort into the theme and design, but there’s little new to see, as the game builds on the familiar features that we’ve seen numerous times before. Yet, Skadi’s Hunt boasts solid stats and can pay up to 10,000x the stake on a single spin, which might be the reason for players to get stuck into it.

According to the sagas, Skadi is associated with skiing, winter, and mountains, so the reels are predictably set somewhere amidst the icy valley. The cartoonish-style graphics are pretty nicely done, as well as the soundtrack that fits the theme perfectly. Skadi herself watched the reels on the left with her cute owl companion, and it’s worth mentioning that IGT has depicted the goddess as insanely beautiful and charming. Overall, there’s nothing to complain about in terms of the design, and Skadi’s Hunt is definitely a striking slot to look at.

The actions take place across a standard 5x3 layout with a MultiWay system. That means that all adjacent symbols pay, and players have 243 ways to win on each spin. To drop in, players should place bets from £0.1 to £1,000 per spin, which should appeal to both high-rollers and casual slotters.

On the math side, the Skadi’s Hunt slot is nicely balanced. It’s powered by a low-medium volatile math model, and the RTP varies between 92.02% and 96.18%. Wins occur fairly often, roughly in 1 out of 3 spins. Speaking of wins, you can scoop a payout of up to 10,000x the stake here, which is decent given the volatility rating.

As we head over to the paytable, we see 10 regular symbols that are split into highs and lows. On the lower side, the pay symbols are made up of five Viking runes, and the premium lot includes in ascending order flowers, mushrooms, arrows, horns, and owls. You’ll need to land at least 3 symbols adjacently starting from the leftmost reel to score a win, and the top two premiums pay for two-of-a-kind and more. Five-of-a-kind low symbol wins are worth 4x the stake, and high-paying symbols are from 6x to 200x the stake. Finally, Skadi is Wild, and she appears only on reels 2-5 and substitutes for any other regular symbols.
