Skadi’s Hunt Slot

Skadi’s Hunt, released in 2021 by IGT, is a Scandinavian mythology-themed online slot game that features a beautiful Norse goddess. The game transports you to the frozen north to hunt for wins alongside the titular Skadi, goddess of the wilderness. Skadi is associated with winter, skiing, mountains, and winter; hence, a wintery theme is prevalent throughout the real money game. The multi-ways slot features 5 reels and 4 rows, which means there are 243 ways you can win. Since Skadi’s Hunt is a medium-volatility game, it features a default RTP rate of 96.18%. 

There is much to look forward to with Skadi’s Hunt, especially free spins – the game’s highlight. You can claim up to 60 free spins using a 5x multiplier. You can achieve wins of up to 10000x your stake with this exciting combination.

The slot machine’s paytable features 10 symbols, spit into highs and lows. For example, the lower side consists of five Viking runes. On the other hand, the high-value symbols include flowers, mushrooms, arrows, horns, and owls.

If you land 5 identical low-value symbols, your wins will be 4x your stake. The high-value symbols range from 6x to 200x per stake. Skadi herself represents a Wild symbol and appears on reels 2 to 5, substituting for regular symbols.

Graphics and Theme

For those not in the know, Skadi (the game’s main character) was a Norse goddess who resided in the snow-clad mountains. According to lore, she journeyed to Asgard to seek revenge for her father’s death – the giant Thiazi – and was offered marriage to sea god Njord in return. Some tales also show that the valiant goddess later married Odin and had children with him.

As alluded to earlier, Skadi is typically associated with skiing, bow hunting, snowshoes, and winter, and the game beautifully depicts that with clean graphics. There is a unique comic book quality to the imagery. In the game, the goddess stands behind the slot reels in the snowy landscape with her owl companion on her arm. In contrast, she stands against a springtime woodland backdrop during the bonus game, holding a bow and arrow. 

Besides the goddess herself and a mountain wolf, the slot symbols consist of runes, a hunting horn and arrowheads, an owl, and berries and mushrooms. The slot remains silent, but you hear an atmospheric soundtrack when you spin the reels. You also hear special sound effects when you win.
