ELA Games has released a new slot Viking Wild
The Game Studio invites players to take to the reels armed with an Instant Dakkar Bonus, a Dakkar Wilds Feature and much more.
With a reel configuration of 5×4, and 50 win-lines, “Vikings Wild” game takes players into a Norse adventure across the seas, where they join the Viking warriors on their search for legendary riches.
Set in a backdrop with a crisp blue waterfall and ancient engraved stones, the slot’s reels spin to reveal colourful symbols including Wild Viking symbols, several funny animal symbols and more.
Gamers can enjoy numerous features, including the cool Dakkar Wilds Feature, which is triggered when one or more wild symbols appear in top 3 symbol positions on one or more reels before the spin. The reels will then shift down by 1 symbol position and all other reels will spin.
If players land 3 or more Dakkar Bonus Symbols on the reels, they’ll be in for some Free Spins. When the Free Spins feature begins, the 2nd & 4th reels will be filled with Wild Symbols. But there’s more – during this feature, a multiplier is applied to all wins.
During the base game, every full reel of wilds will be collected to the Dakkar Collector. As soon as the number of collected symbols reaches 25, the Instant Dakkar Bonus will begin and so, the Dakkar Free Spins will automatically start.
Initially, the multiplier is 1x, 2x and 3x, depending on the number of scatter symbols landed. Each time the Dakkar Wilds Feature is triggered, the multiplier is increased by 1. The FS feature will continue until there are no wild symbols anywhere.
If the Norse gods are on their side, players will also have the opportunity to increase their multiplier even more, having it go up by 1 each time the Dakkar Wilds Feature is triggered.
Daniel Mitton, Director of Gaming said; “We believe players are going to love playing Vikings Wild and operators are going to be delighted with its retention rates as it combines all of the modern features that make for truly exciting gameplay”.

ECA and AGEM applaud creation of Association Assembly at ICE Barcelona
The news that January’s ICE Barcelona will include a major new feature dedicated to global gaming’s most influential trade associations has been welcomed by organisations in Europe and abroad.
Making full use of the additional space at the Gran Via Fira de Barcelona, the first ICE Association Assembly has been created to enable trade bodies to promote their values and create new opportunities for the gaming community across every sector and geography, including both the Brussels-based European Casino Association (ECA) and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM), the global trade association for gaming equipment suppliers with its primary headquarters in Las Vegas.
Erwin Van Lambaart, Chair of the ECA confirmed: “Our members are already planning their week in Barcelona and they will be at this historic edition of ICE in great numbers. ICE is a pivotal event for the global gaming community and having a show floor feature which will enable us to engage directly with all sectors is a unique opportunity.
“Traditionally, our association’s involvement at ICE and its Conference program has primarily centred around networking and product development orientation—connecting with our members, regulators, suppliers, and fellow trade bodies. However, ICE 2025 marks a significant milestone. For the first time, the ECA will have the chance to fully interface with the global industry supply chain in its entirety. We are looking forward to this unique opportunity to articulate our vision for the future to a diverse and comprehensive audience, where innovation, responsibility and significant partnerships for guest and customer centricity will have centre stage.”
Daron Dorsey, CEO of AGEM added: “We represent the interests of our gaming suppliers whose well-known brands are global in reach, so to be given the opportunity to explain our agenda and engage with what is a truly international audience of association colleagues on the ICE show floor is invaluable.”
January’s editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will occupy 120,000sqm of space compared to the 100,00sqm at ICE 2024. In a major endorsement of the opportunities offered by the relocation to Barcelona 72% of the 25 biggest exhibitors will have an increased stand presence at ICE 2025.
