The Faces of Freya

The Faces of Freya online slot by Play'N GO is all about the Norse goddess of beauty and love. She's very prominent on the reels too, bringing her grace and charm to the proceedings. The slot itself is a 5-reel game offering up 20 fixed paylines. To keep the theme running throughout the game, all of the symbols represent something from Norse mythology. The game is perfect for players with a smaller budget as spins cost from just 20p up to £100. Additionally, the slot has a medium volatility level and an RTP of 96.2%, which is on the higher end of the scale. There's no jackpot in this game, but there is a chance to score a big win of 5000x your initial stake when five of the Freya bracelet symbols land on the reels.

What The Faces of Freya is all about

The Faces of Freya slot game has a number of exciting additional options in place — not just the wealth of Norse-themed symbols. There are the usual bonus symbols in place such as the scatter and wild. Both of these help to bring in some big wins. However, what makes this slot truly shine are the bonus spins features. There are three different bonus spins features available — sorcery, love and war. Within each of these features, there are a number of additional options including boosted symbols, wilds, multipliers and so on. There's a further option called the Folkvang bonus spins feature, which combines the bonus spins features from the previous bonus rounds.

Wild Symbols

The first feature to look at is one that is found across most online slot games. The wild symbol here is Freya herself. This symbol can actually land on any of the reels and when she does, will substitute for all other symbols to help make some winning combinations. The wild can substitute for all the standard and high-paying symbols on the reels except for the Medallion icon. This is the symbol that will trigger the bonus spins features. When it forms part of a winning combo, this wild will also offer up some lucrative multipliers. However, the value of the multiplier will depend on how many wilds are part of the win. For a combo of three wilds there's a double multiplier, four wilds makes it 8x and five is 20x the stake.

Bonus Spins Features

To trigger the bonus spins in The Faces of Freya a minimum of three medallion scatters need to land on the reels. Achieving this will see the bonus spins feature activated. Within this initial bonus spins feature there are three separate bonus spins options — love, sorcery and war. These are chosen at random, but whichever one lands, six bonus spins will be awarded. For every scatter that lands during any of these bonus spins, an additional free spin can be claimed. However, each of these features also offers something extra. Spins of Sorcery makes the shield, cat and wild boar symbols higher paying. In contrast, Spins of Love adds 2 to 5 wilds randomly to the reels. Finally, Spins of War gives multipliers between the values of 2x to 20x.

Folkvang Bonus Spins

The final feature here is the Folkvang bonus spins. To activate this, four or five scatters must be landed on the reels in a single spin. Instead of getting that other feature of 6 bonus spins, this one awards 18 or 19 spins for four or five scatters, respectively. Additionally, the bonus spins features of love, war and sorcery will also be added to this round. The Folkvang feature will start with five spins of Sorcery, then five spins of Love with the number of wilds added increasing on each spin. Finally, the last five spins are from War and, again, the multiplier will increase for each subsequent spin. Lastly, the final 3, or 4, spins will be played with all three of the love, war and sorcery features. This feature cannot be re-triggered.

The Faces of Freya summary

The Faces of Freya online slot with its five reels and 20 paylines is really all about the bonus spins. The two different bonus spins features have slightly different requirements for activating them. Getting the Folkvang Feature is where the real wins lie, as the three bonus spins features will be played through here one at a time. While not as visually stunning as other slots out there, The Faces of Freya offers a lot in the way of functionality and gameplay. It's also available on mobile devices with all the main features intact.
