Introduction
Norse mythology has proven to be a favourite theme for online pokies, and Ring of Odin is another instalment in the genre. Odin will be taking centre stage in this game, mixing dark graphics with fun bonus features to deliver an interesting gameplay experience.
Ring of Odin has a five reel setup with 20 paylines and they also implemented free spins, stacked symbols and multipliers. The pokie has a great top payout of 5,000x your original stake which could earn you up to $500,000 if you bet the maximum amount. Although it’s a bigger risk to play this pokie because of its high volatility, the RTP of 96.20% is respectable.
Overall Theme
This pokie has a Norse mythology theme and it focuses in on Odin who is the god of poetry, wisdom, death, magic and divination. The aim is to master Odin’s magic ring to harness its mighty power on the reels. Ring of Odin is very intense with both animations and graphics being in high definition. You will see the reels set against a rocky backdrop which is reminiscent of the Asgard online pokie. You will also see Odin perched on either side of the screen.
RTP & Volatility
Ring of Odin has an RTP of 96.20% which is common for Play’n Go pokies. With online pokies you can expect to win back 96.20 for every 100 coins you use in the game. This is a high variance pokie so you may be spinning the reels for a while before you see any wins roll in. If you prefer pokies with lower risk then you may want to look elsewhere or stick to demo mode.
