The Faces of Freya Slot Review

The Faces of Freya Slot Overview

According to Norse Mythology, Freya has many faces - being the Goddess of such varied areas as beauty, fertility, love, gold, sex, sorcery, and war. We don’t see all of her sides in The Faces of Freya, but she shows us three - love, war, and sorcery. The beautiful field of Folkvang provides the setting in this Play’n GO release – usually only accessible to those deceased Norse warriors not called to Valhalla - but now open for business to any slot player who fancies taking a peek...and the game within this green haven is well worth a look! Three varieties of free spins rounds get things off to an excellent start, whilst the turbo-charged Folkvang feature may see you descend from the heavens with the game’s 5,000x max win!

The Norse theme is hardly uncharted territory, but it’s refreshing to see someone other than Odin or Thor take centre stage. Freya steps out of the shadows in spectacular style. Given the care and attention she deserves from the design team, the sound and graphics combine to cinematic effect. The quality of the game ranges from the so-so experience of the base game to the rock-solid standard Free Spins and on to the spectacular Folkvang Bonus. A potential 19 free spins, which take you through all of the main features before a rewarding payoff, is hard to resist and seems sure to see players return for more. The only real negative is the variable RTP, which hits disappointingly low levels at the bottom end of the range. Seek this out at 96.20%, and Freya may displace her male counterparts as your Norse deity of choice.

Sorcery, Love, and War Free Spins Bonus

Freya’s necklace, Brisingamen, acts as the Scatter symbol. Land three on a single spin, and Freya will bestow you with six free spins. The Free Spins Bonus is selected at random from one of the following:

Sorcery: Six free spins with one of three boosts on each spin:

Axes and Shields upgraded to Wild Boars.
Axes and Shields and Wild Boars upgraded to Cats.
Axes and Shields, Wild Boars, and Cats all upgraded to Golden Bracelets.

Love: Six free spins with two to five Freya Wilds per spin – maximum of one Freya Wild per reel.

War: Six free spins with a 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x or 20x winnings multiplier on every spin.

For all of the above rounds, every Scatter which lands throughout the round adds one free spin to your tally.

Bonus Round Near Miss Award

Landing just two Scatters on a single spin is undoubtedly a frustrating experience. Happily, Freya feels your pain and may step in to soften the blow. Whenever you hit 2 Scatters, you may be randomly awarded one spin with the Sorcery, Love, or War power in play.

Folkvang Bonus Round

The three standard Bonus Rounds are a lot of fun, but things become much more exciting in the Folkvang feature - triggered by landing four or five Scatters on a single spin. Do this, and Freya will take you by the hand to sample Sorcery, Love, and War before unleashing winnings mayhem in a spectacular finale. Folkvang plays out in four Stages:

Stage 1 - Sorcery: Five free spins. Play begins with all Axes & Shields upgraded to Wild Boars. Collecting Scatters throughout the round unlocks further Symbol Upgrades.

Three Scatters: Axes & Shields and Wild Boars upgraded to Cats.
Five Scatters: Axes & Shields, Wild Boars, and Cats all upgraded to Golden Bracelets.

Stage 2 – Love: Five free spins. Play begins with two Freya Wilds per spin. Collecting Scatters throughout the round awards additional Freya Wilds.

Three Scatters: Three Freya Wilds per spin.
Five Scatters: Four Freya Wilds per spin.
Seven Scatters: Five Freya Wilds per spin.

Stage 3 – War: Five free spins. Winnings multiplier starts at 2x and increases via the collection of Scatters.

Three Scatters: 3x multiplier.
Five Scatters: 5x multiplier.
Seven Scatters: 10x multiplier.
Nine Scatters: 20x multiplier.

Stage 4 – Finale: Three of four free spins depending upon whether four or five Scatters triggered the Folkvang Bonus Round. For these final spins, your progress from the Sorcery, Love, and War Stages are ALL in play – creating the potential for four free spins featuring a 20x multiplier, with five Freya Wilds and all high-pay symbols upgraded to Golden Bracelets!

Our Verdict Three distinct Free Spins Bonuses are to be applauded and would likely have been enough to draw players in. All three function well and provide decent win potential, but the all-bells-and-whistles Folkvang feature may take this game into the stratosphere. Creating an excellent balance between picking up wins and building anticipation, Folkvang finally comes to a climax in a chaotically satisfying Finale!

The Faces of Freya Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.20%	Yes	Medium

The top-end Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 96.20% is a golden blonde lock above the industry-average RTP of 96%.

It would be hard to know what to expect from a goddess equally at home unleashing love or war, and this game sits somewhere in the middle. Falling into the medium volatility category, you should expect reasonably frequent low-mid-level wins and a better chance of a big payout in a short session than in a low-volatility release.

Our Verdict At 96.20%, The Faces of Freya offers solid value for money. However, alternative, lower settings of 94.20%, 91.20%, 87.20%, and 84.20% are available. We always recommend consulting the information section of the game to discover the setting in use at your online casino of choice. The medium volatility rating feels about right, considering the game mechanics and modest 5,000x max win.

The Faces of Freya Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

Folkvang looks more chilled-out than some of the representations of Valhalla doing the rounds in the slot-o-sphere. Swaying reeds, fluttering leaves, and graceful birds add dynamism without distracting from the main action on the reels. The use of card suits rather than values is a sensible move, with the Rune portrayal drawing the low-pays into the theme. The nicely illustrated premium symbols are all inspired by the Freya legend and benefit from a wooden frame and bold backdrop, whilst there’s no missing the gleaming gold of the Freya Wilds and Brisingamen Scatters.

Audio

The sound team has done an excellent job representing a goddess with so many flavours. Featuring yearning escalating strings, hand drumming, twinkling bells, and foreboding chanting, it’s all rather epic, but the brilliant change of pace portrays the gentle and more intimidating aspects of the blonde goddess’s personality. The gentle clicks of the reels and clinking coins of wins are innocuous, enabling the thudding special symbols and voiceover bonus round announcements to grab your attention.

Our Verdict It’s a Play’n GO game - of course, the audio and visuals are of the highest order. The dreamy watercolour landscape exudes relaxation, and it’s nice to see the effort put into the game symbols drawn directly from the Freya strand of Norse Mythology. As for the soundtrack, the instrumental palette is typical for a game in this genre, but, as mentioned, the pacing is superb, and we do love a bit of chanting to accompany our slots sessions.
