The Swedish based online casino group, NetEnt is set to make a splash this week with the launch of its long-awaited Vikings video slot game. The game is based on the smash hit TV series by the same name. It follows the adventures of Norse warrior, Ragnar Lothbrook and his family as they take part in epic battles during Scandinavia’s dark ages. The game will go live at NetEnt partner online casinos on November 22nd.
This will be one of the most exciting branded slot games this year. On announcing the new game earlier this year, the chief product officer of NetEnt, Henrik Fagerlund said: “To be able to provide our players with a different genre of branded game, showcases the hard work we’re putting in behind the scenes to create such high-quality content and further expand our portfolio.”
Fagerlund said that Vikings has been a major TV hit show since its first season in 2013 and appeals to a vast audience worldwide. He noted that its classic and historical theme is packed with action, and he was sure that online casino players would be excited about the launch of Vikings slot this month.
In recent years, NetEnt has upped the ante when it comes to releasing branded slot games after forging partnerships with legendary franchises. Some of its standout games include the music-themed trilogy (Guns ‘n Roses, Motorhead and Jimi Hendrix slots), as well as Jumanji slot and Planet of the Apes slot.
