Freya 1000: Shields, Wheels and a Persistent Multiplier

Freya 1000 is a Norse-flavoured Pragmatic Play slot set in a wintry realm, with wolves, longships and horns on a 5×3 grid. Its headline figure matches the name: wheel multipliers can reach 1,000x.

Pragmatic Play lists the RTP at 96.50%. The provider page does not include a volatility rating or an overall maximum win, so neither is quoted here. Check the in-game rules at your casino to confirm the figures for the version you play.

The game has two moving parts worth understanding: shield money symbols that pay instant prizes, and wheel symbols that open a prize wheel. Everything in the bonus rounds builds on those two symbols.

Shield money symbols award instant prizes of up to 40x. They are the base game's direct source of cash value outside regular symbol wins.

There is a helpful nudge rule attached. If only one or two shields land, the reels can nudge up or down to make way for more, so a spin that starts with a lone shield can finish with several.

The word to note is can. The nudge is not guaranteed on every one or two shield spin, and the demo is a good way to see how often it actually adds to the count.

Wheel symbols trigger a bonus wheel, and the game awards one prize for every wheel symbol that lands. Two wheel symbols mean two prizes, three mean three.

The possible prizes fall into three groups. The wheel can award a money value of up to 20x, a multiplier of up to 1,000x, or direct entry to one of the two bonus game modes.

That last outcome is the only route into free spins described by Pragmatic Play, so the wheel is effectively the game's scatter mechanic as well as a prize feature.

The wheel can send you to one of two modes. Standard free spins award six spins. Super free spins award between six and 12.

Both modes share the same core features, covered in the next section. The real difference is how multipliers behave, and it is significant enough that the super mode is clearly the one to hope for when the wheel lands on a bonus.

Three features run in both standard and super free spins.

Shield reels: when at least one shield lands on a reel, that reel fills entirely with shields. A single shield becomes three on a 5×3 grid, which makes shield prizes far more generous than in the base game.

Extra spins: money symbols can randomly award three more free spins, which matters in rounds that start with only six.

Multiplier wheel: wheel symbols trigger a multiplier prize wheel awarding values of up to 1,000x.

In standard free spins, multipliers are tied to the current spin. All multipliers won on a spin add together and apply to the current win, but only where a wheel symbol is present. Unlike the super mode, they are not described as carrying forward to later spins.

Super free spins work differently. Multipliers add to a persistent total multiplier that stays for the rest of the round. That total applies to any win where a wheel symbol is present, and it also boosts the values of any money symbols that land on the same spin.

The practical difference is large. In standard mode, a big multiplier adds little if the spin it lands on pays little. In super mode, every multiplier won keeps working, so the round tends to get stronger the longer it runs, and shields landing alongside a wheel are boosted by the running total.

In the demo, watch how often the reels nudge after one or two shields land. It shows how much of the base game's value comes from the nudge rather than natural landings.

When the bonus wheel appears, note how many prizes you get and how often one of them is a free spins entry. Record which mode you land in each time.

Inside super free spins, keep an eye on the total multiplier after each wheel. Comparing a standard round with a super round side by side is the quickest way to see why the persistent total changes the game.

Freya 1000 is built around a clear contrast between its two bonus modes. Standard free spins are short and spin-by-spin, while super free spins turn every multiplier into a lasting boost that also lifts shield values.

Only the 96.50% RTP is published on the provider page, so volatility and maximum win should be checked in the game's own rules.

Key points: 5×3 grid, shields up to 40x with nudges, one wheel prize per wheel symbol, cash up to 20x and multipliers up to 1,000x, six standard or 6 to 12 super free spins, and three extra spins available from money symbols.

What is the RTP of Freya 1000?

Pragmatic Play lists the RTP of Freya 1000 as 96.50%. The provider page does not give a volatility rating for the game, so check the paytable or information screen at your casino, which shows the return figure that applies to the version you are playing.

How do you trigger free spins in Freya 1000?

Free spins come through the bonus wheel. Wheel symbols trigger the wheel, which awards one prize for each wheel symbol that lands, and one possible prize is direct entry to a bonus mode. That can be six standard free spins or 6 to 12 super free spins.

What is the difference between standard and super free spins in Freya 1000?

In standard free spins, multipliers add together and apply only to the current win where a wheel symbol is present. In super free spins, multipliers add to a persistent total that applies to later wins with a wheel symbol and also boosts money symbols landing on that spin.

What do shield symbols do in Freya 1000?

Shields are money symbols worth instant prizes of up to 40x. In the base game, if one or two shields land, the reels can nudge up or down to reveal more. In both bonus modes, any reel where a shield lands fills entirely with shields.

How big can multipliers get in Freya 1000?

Multipliers can reach 1,000x. They can be won from the base game bonus wheel, and in free spins a multiplier prize wheel triggered by wheel symbols awards values of up to 1,000x. In super free spins these build into a persistent total multiplier.
