Slot Summary

A five-reel payline format carries Rise of Ymir into Hacksaw Gaming's interpretation of Viking mythology, but the giant himself also supplies the central mechanic. Ymir symbols arrive as sticky multiplier Wilds and grant respins, allowing several values to accumulate before they are applied. A separate global multiplier can then collect those values and affect every active win.

How It Plays

Payline wins are evaluated first. When a Ymir symbol lands, it remains in place for a free respin, giving another chance to add multiplier Wilds.

Four Ymir symbols occupying one reel merge into a larger symbol. Their individual values are combined, and that total applies to qualifying combinations crossing the reel.

Theme & Atmosphere

Viking and Mythology themes focus on Ymir, the ancient giant associated with the world's formation, while Ice and Darkness shape the severe atmosphere.

Fantasy and Horror elements emphasize conflict between giants and gods, giving the sticky symbols and rising multiplier values a fitting sense of physical scale.

Fantasy Mythology Horror Darkness Ice Greece Ancient Viking

Features & Win Potential

Sticky Wilds remain for a Respin Wild event and carry individual Wild Multipliers. If several enter one combination, their values are added before application.

A Free Spins Multiplier can collect the values shown by active Ymir symbols and apply the resulting total globally, rather than only along one payline.

Bonus & Free Spins

Dawn of Gods and Fury of Ymir each begin with 10 Free Spins, but Fury preserves the global Free Spins Multiplier after it becomes active.

Fall of Ymir replaces ordinary line play with a Bonus Game using 3 refilling lives, collectible multiplier symbols, and modifier symbols that redistribute collected values.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (94.24%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (15,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
