Wild Viking

Wild Viking is a terrific online casino that is a combination of two all-time favorites, Roulette and Poker. The is played using a 52-card deck plus 2 Jokers. The table offers many different roulette style bets (bets on numbers, a set of colors etc) and poker related bets (bets on a specific hand).

The player is dealt five cards and, depending on which of the wagers you placed, your winning payouts are calculated according to your winning hand combinations. The four primary bet types include Roulette-type wagers, Poker wagers, Progressive Jackpot bets and the unique Wild Viking bet.

Placing a bet at the Wild Viking table is simple because the table is divided into 3 betting sections: the center betting area, top betting area & the bottom betting area. Where you place your wager(s) determines your winning pay outs.

Center Betting Area

The center betting area features all 52 cards laid out and offers different Roulette-styled wagers. Five cards are dealt in the game and the fifth card is the one used to determine winners and losers in the roulette style bets.

Right under the bottom row of cards is another row featuring non-suit-specific card rankings. When betting here you are betting that the five-card draw shall comprise 4 cards of the same rank yet differing suits. As well, you can use the center betting area to place split bets plus other types of wagers.

Bottom Betting Area

The bottom betting area is for Roulette-styled bets plus the special Wild Viking gamble. The Roulette-styled bets include Odd/Even & Black/Red bets. Additionally, two solo-card Green and/or Red 'Joker' wagers may be placed as well.

Roulette-type wager outcomes are - without exception - determined by the fifth card drawn. In the novel Wild Viking wager, you are betting either your 1st or 5th cards - or both - are Jokers. The Wild Viking pay-out is a colossal 1250 to one.

Top Betting Area

The top betting area's where you bet on your Poker hand, in addition to your Progressive Jackpot wagers. Unlike the Roulette-like bets, in which the fifth card determines a win, all five of your cards are needed so as to determine the Poker and Progressive Jackpot bet results.

Poker Hand Wagers

Other Poker hands you can bet on include: Four-of-a-kind, Full House or better, Straight or better, Three-of-a-kind or better, 2 Pairs or better, and Pair of 6's or better. You win whenever you bet on having any of the above Poker hands or better.

Wild Viking Progressive Jackpot
The game's progressive jackpot's a fixed $1.00 bet. Because a preset fraction of each dollar wagered goes to the Jackpot pool, the size of the pot is increasing all the time. To win part of the Jackpot, your 5 card Poker hand must be a Three of a Kind, or better. The better your Poker hand, the bigger your pay out.

When your 5-card hand's a Wild Viking Royal Flush, that is, your first and fifth cards are both Jokers and your second, third and fourth comprise same-suited 10s, jacks, queens, kings or aces in order, the Progressive Jackpot is all yours!
