Spell of Odin Introduction
If you are looking for atmospheric free pokies, the Spell of Odin from 2 By 2 Gaming will tick all the right boxes. The powerful music and beautifully drawn symbols immerse you in the Viking theme. Horses rear up in misty moonlit woodland, Viking ships row across dark seas, and jewelled rings and warriors' weaponry populate the reels along with three Viking ladies and Odin himself.
Even the playing card symbols, made from wood and set against a background of green flames, are a treat to the eye.

As the wins fall in on this five-reel, 25-payline pokie, the symbols literally sizzle with sparkles. When a full stack of Odin appears on the third reel, his single blue eye glows and a bolt of lightning burns out the symbols from another reel to be replaced by another Odin stack, setting the entire pokie screen ablaze and potentially setting you up for a big win.
How to Play Spell of Odin
Odin is the wild in this game and replaces any other symbol on the winning lines except, of course, the scatter, which is represented by the Viking sword and shield. Three scatter symbols will unlock the Spell Bonus feature, and from there you have some exciting choices in how these free spins can be played.
Select All Pays 3X and any wins during the free spins will automatically be multiplied by three; meanwhile, the Easy Retrigger and Easy Feature will change the reels so that there are more frequent Odins and bonus symbols to help gain more wins and retrigger more free spins.
Choose the 2X 4X Wild option and a stack of Odins will double the payout, while two Odins participating in a win will quadruple the result. While the bonus happens rarely, it is exciting when it does. The female symbols will all pay out on two, three, four or five appearances. Of the three characters, the blonde scores the highest, paying out 2, 30, 80 and 800 coins for two, three, four or five of a kind respectively.
The raven-haired girl and the brunette pay up to 250 and 200 coins respectively for three, four or five of a kind. All the other symbols only pay out for three, four or five appearances, with the Viking ship yielding 25, 40 and 125 coins and the horse and the Viking ring paying 15, 35 and 100 coins. Lastly, the Ace and King playing card symbols are worth up to 80 coins, while the Queen, Jack and 10 will pay out up to 50 coins.
With the ability to choose the number of paylines you want to bet on and a chip size between $0.01 and $0.20, Spell of Odin allows you to control how much you want to spend and wager. Wins are small but frequent and while the bonus opportunities are few and far between, there are enough Odin stacks appearing to keep you interested. All in all, this is a fun pokie and well worth a try.
