Ring of Odin

Ring of Odin is a slot based on the myth of Draupnir, the ring that duplicates itself every ninth night, made by the dwarf brothers Brokkr and Eitri for Odin. Released on April 14, 2020, you can try it right away in the free demo with no sign-up.

How is the Draupnir ring story woven into the game?

The ring made by the dwarf smith brothers is said to drop an identical ring every ninth night. In the game, this duplication power becomes the feature itself, as one ring multiplies into nine and covers the reels. It is a Norse-themed Play’n GO slot that turns myth into mechanics well. It is even more fun if you know the story of Odin and the dwarf smiths.

When does Odin’s Ring feature trigger?

A ring-shaped overlay can activate at random on any spin in the base game. The ring lights up while the reels spin, and when the reels stop, the symbol that landed under the ring becomes the chosen symbol. You then get 1 respin as the ring begins to expand. Which symbol the ring stops on sets the direction of the respin that follows.

What happens when the ring multiplies into nine?

When the respin starts, Odin’s ring duplicates and nine rings cover the reels. Since it connects to the symbol chosen earlier, the wider the rings spread, the better the chance of filling the screen with the same symbol. The staging that recreates the ring duplicating in the myth is a sight to see. The moment the rings cover a wide area of the screen is the most satisfying part of this game.

What should you focus on in the Ring of Odin base game?

In the base game, you play for ordinary wins across 20 paylines while focusing on awakening the ring’s hidden power, which is the real goal. The ring is said to act on its own regardless of the will of gods or men, so the anticipation of not knowing when it will activate never fades. It has the feel of waiting for Odin’s generosity. That is why a spin where the ring activates looks completely different on screen.

What should I check first in the demo?

The RTP is 94.2%, and the max win is 5,000x your bet. There is no bonus buy, so you have to wait for the ring feature to trigger at random. There is no official volatility figure, so try the demo to see how often the ring activates and which symbols tend to land in the Nine Rings respin. It is also worth comparing what happens when the ring lands on a high symbol versus a low one.
