Vikings Go Wild on a phone

SIDEWAYS ONLY 2.8 s TO PLAYABLE FREE DEMO

This one makes you turn the phone. 2.8 s to load, and no upright build exists.

Sideways is the only layout and the buttons are built for it. Fine in two hands, awkward hanging off a pole on the subway. The demo pulls about 12 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 2.8 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.

One build, one return figure

Only one configuration of Vikings Go Wild is licensed, at 96.3%, so there is nothing to check and nothing to get wrong. That puts it in the minority: 123 of 306 titles here ship in two or three builds, and nothing on screen tells you which one loaded.

Where it sits on the board

On the phone score it lands 286 of 306. Orientation carries the most weight, the wait carries the next, the buttons carry the rest. That is 0.7 s slower than the 2.1 s median, every time you open it.

Yggdrasil has 5 titles on this board, 4 of them upright, with a median load of 2.8 s.

What the game is

A 2015 release from Yggdrasil. Board is 5x4, 25 lines, the mechanic is wild vikings / treasure chests. The original voyage of Yggdrasil's viking crew, with ship-battle free spins and treasure-chest pick prizes.

Medium volatility, so treat the demo as a look at the rhythm and not at the maths. Twenty dollars buys around 200 spins at the C$0.10 floor. Ceiling is 2,000x and it is not going to happen to you.
