NetEnt Release Riches of Midgard: Land and Expand

Being one of the leading names in online gambling, NetEnt boasts an extensive portfolio of differently-themed video slots. Despite originating from Sweden, the renowned gaming studio rarely draws its inspiration from Nordic mythology.

It sounds unbelievable, but it’s true, as you’re more likely to encounter druids or ancient Greek and Egyptian deities that Norse gods. Now, Odin, Thor and Frey are returning to the reels in NetEnt’s latest addition to its offering, titled Riches of Midgard: Land and Expand, which hit the market on December 15.

Slot Basics

Set in a beautiful Midgardian landscape, the new game is played on a mobile-oriented three-reel grid, has only nine paylines for players to benefit from. For those unfamiliar with Norse mythology, Midgaard is one of the Nine Worlds, created when Odin defeated the giant Ymir. Surrounded by a giant serpent, Midgard is inhabited with humans.

NetEnt has done an excellent job in terms of graphics. We were a bit surprised to see the cartoonish look, as developers often decide to give such games a powerful treatment. The final result is a nice-looking release, while the soundtrack includes the clunk of the rickety reels and the grunt of our Nordic characters.

The game has been created using HTLM5 technology, which means Riches of Midgard: Land and Expand can be played on a wide selection of devices.

When it comes to betting, NetEnt’s most recent launch has comprehensive options. Wagering starts a mere 0.10 and goes all the way up to 200 per spin. Additionally, the game’s average Return to Player is 96.03%.

There’s a total of ten paying symbols on the reels, paying out in combinations of two or three, which is a bit unusual for a three-reel game. Apart from the usual set of Royals, there are high-paying icons such as a horn, a hunk of meat, and the three deities we’ve mentioned earlier, Odin, Thor and Frey. Land three of these on a single payline and you can receive a prize worth up to fifteen times your stake!
