Hold & Spin · Rules & pay table
Northern Rune, explained
Northern Rune turns five reels of three rows on 20 fixed lines, with Hold & Spin on top. Lines pay for matching symbols from the left, the Knot wolf wild covers for the pictures, and each Rune carries a value. When 6 or more runes turn up anywhere, they stay put and earn respins. As a wild game, line pays are modest and Hold & Spin is rarer, but it can return a lot more. Everything is played for Glints, which have no value and cannot be bought or exchanged.
Open Northern RuneA round, step by step
- Choose your stake with − and +. It covers all 20 lines, so each line gets an equal share.
- Press Spin. Quick makes the reels and respins faster.
- Three, four or five matching symbols on a line, starting from the leftmost reel, pay that line stake times the amount in the table.
- 6 or more runes anywhere start Hold & Spin: the runes lock, every other cell spins on its own, and you get 3 respins.
- Each new Rune that lands locks too and sets the respins back to 3. When the respins run out, every value on the board is added up.
- Fill all 15 cells and the Aesir Crown adds ×1,000 the stake on top.

Worth knowing
- 20 fixed lines. Only the longest match on each line pays, and pays on different lines add up.
- Runes only count in Hold & Spin. Fewer than 6 in a spin return nothing on their own.
- Named runes are rare: Ember ×20, Frost ×50, Thunder ×150. They are fixed multiples of the stake.
- In Hold & Spin, cells that are not locked only show an empty slot or a new rune.
- Hold & Spin belongs to the spin that started it: the stake is taken once, and line pays plus every value are added at the end.
