Pillars of Asgard

NextGen Gaming builds Pillars of Asgard around Norse mythology, opening on a crossing of the rainbow bridge into Asgard itself, with the reel grid framed between two towering stone pillars referenced in the title. Six reels of four rows form the base layout, starting at 4,096 paylines that can expand dramatically as the reels grow taller. Low-value symbols use runic-styled 9-to-A card faces, and an Odin wild tops the pay table, worth 200 times the stake for six across a full payline while also substituting for any regular symbol. Stakes run from 0.25 to 50 per spin, and the game is rated high volatility with a default 96.1% RTP, rising to 96.5% when the bonus is bought directly.

Whenever one or more Odin wilds take part in a winning combination, a Wild Multiplier applies to the payout, with the exact value drawn from a range that widens as more wilds are involved: a single wild can pull anywhere from 2x up to 10x, while five wilds in the same combination guarantee either 8x or 10x.

Landing three or more scatter symbols opens 20 free spins, and the number of scatters that trigger the round also adds extra rows to the grid: three scatters add one row for 15,625 paylines, four add two rows for 46,625, five add three rows for 117,649, and six add all four extra rows for a maximum of 262,144. Inside the round, any scatter that lands adds another symbol onto its own reel, stacking up to ten high, and every extra symbol pushes the paylines count higher still. A reel that reaches its full ten-symbol height also triggers Odin's Blessing: five additional free spins in which every scatter symbol turns wild for the remainder of the round. Should all six reels reach maximum height at once, a full wild reel forms and travels across the grid, moving to a different reel with each spin that follows.

Players who prefer not to wait for the feature to land naturally can pay 80 times the stake through the Buy Pass option for direct entry, or accept lower odds in exchange for a cheaper price on a separate chance-based wheel.
