Game Structure and Payouts
Escape the North is a conventional 5x3 online slot with 243 permanently active pay ways. In this game, there are seven regular symbols and three bonus icons. When three or more of the same regular symbols land concurrently on a pay way, you are paid out.
The only proviso is the game tiles must land on adjacent reels from left to right. Prizes are dependent on the number of symbols in a winning combo. In Escape the North – as with most online slots – it is the themed character symbols that offer the highest prizes in the game.
What are the character symbols and the corresponding payouts? At up to 20 x the base bet for five of a kind, the female Viking warrior takes top billing. She is followed by the battle axe-wielding Berserker who pays out up to 15 x.
Odin’s wolf Geri – or is it Freki? – offers the same amount as the Berserker. The fleet-footed eight-legged horse of Norse mythology, Sleipnir brings up the rear with a maximum payout of 10 x the base bet. The symbols representing the runic alphabet all offer up to 5 x apiece.
That is all good and well but what does it mean in terms of dollars? In this game you have to divide the bet per spin by 10. That is the base bet set by the developers.
That gives you a ‘per line’ betting range of $0.20 to $0.25. It is this amount that is multiplied by the payouts on the Escape the North pay table. Let’s take a look at what you can win in legal tender right now at Jackpot Capital.
Bet the $2.50 maximum per spin, hit five of a kind and you can bank $5 for the lady Viking and $3.75 for the Viking warrior and wolf. The horse and runes generate a top win of $2.50 and $1.25, respectively.
What is notable is Escape the North is classified a high volatility slot. That rating is not evident in either the betting range or the pay table. The only wild swings in fortune can be attributed to, erm, the wilds … along with the bonus-heavy free games feature, of course.
Escape the North Bonus Features
Escape the North online slot has two wild symbols – and that means double the fun! Odin represents the Multiplier Sticky Wild and only ever lands on the third reel. When he does, the payout probability soars from good to excellent.
Why is Odin the signature feature in the game? He awards recurring re-spins and remains lodged in place for as long as the payline wins come rolling in. That is not the best of it.
There is a multiplier effect in play and it increases incrementally along with the paying permutations. It is this bonus feature that can boost the payout by 7 x or more. What that means is the highest prize in the base game can escalate from $5 to $35 plus!
As you can – and do – win multiple times with NO extra money in the machine, Odin is the dude you want in your corner. Then there is his war sword, the second wild icon in the symbol set. It represents the Countdown Sticky Wild and only drops on reels 2 and/or 4.
It too awards two through to four re-spins. If you are lucky, Odin and his winning ways will pop in for a visit. That can mean lots of bonus bankroll at Jackpot Capital – for no outlay at all. Sweet!
Besides the wilds, the scatter serpent triggers 10 free games. During the complimentary game rounds, the reel set is backed by a Viking maritime scene with a longboat swaying alongside. That is the aesthetics, now for the in-game features.
When you unlock free games, both the Multiplier and Countdown sticky wilds can be activated. When that happens, you get a recurring blend of respins and free spins – with prize multipliers woven in. It is in the free games feature in Escape the North slot that you have the best chance of scooping up the $1,250 top award!
Wait up all you Jackpot Capital slots aficionados! There is another, much easier way of getting your hands on the Viking loot. You can hit the Bonus Bet button, pay 10 x more and get one or both wilds on every spin… guaranteed!
Alternatively, you can fork out 100 x the stake and trigger the 10 free games on-demand. If that doesn’t get the heart pounding and blood roaring, you can up the ante, pay 500 x and receive 13 free games in exchange.
The special effect in the 13-strong sequence is a suped-up Multiplier Sticky Wild. In the standard action, the multiplier value is automatically reset back to 1 x when there is no winning combo on the board.
In the tranche of 13 free games, there is nothing stopping the multiplier from going into lower earth orbit. It rises on every spin – whether there is a paying permutation or not!
