Developer’s latest Norse-themed video slot sees player go into battle with Wandering Wilds, Respins and Free Spins helping them in their quest

Stakelogic, the developer behind some of the biggest blockbuster slots this year, is taking players into battle with its latest Norse-themed game, Viking Smash.

The 5×3 reel, 243 payline slot is set against the backdrop of a fierce battle where Vikings wander across the reels in search of the enemy before turning Wild for some truly smashing wins.  This exciting new slot has an additional and unusual plot twist, paying both ways – left to right and right to left.

These Walking Wilds land at each side of the reels and move from one side to the other for extra win combinations – each step they take triggers a Respin.

The Respins keep on coming until all of the Walking Wilds have exited the reels or the Free Spins bonus is triggered.

When the Wild symbols are next to each other or one position apart on the same row while Respins are active, the Wild symbols smash together and award Free Spins.

One pair of Wilds awards 10 Free Spins with four additional Free Spins for each extra pair.

During Free Spins, the Wild symbols may land anywhere on the reels and move one position, triggering Respins until they exit the reels on the opposite side to which they started.

Just as in the base game, when Wilds are next to each other or one position apart on the same row during Respins they smash together and award an addition four Free Spins.

Viking Smash also comes hooked up to Stakelogic’s innovative Super Stake feature which allows players to effectively place a side bet with each spin to be in with the chance of triggering a bonus.

In Viking Smash, this is Random Wilds – on a losing spin, two to six Wild symbols will appear on reels one and five to provide a second chance to land high value win combinations.

For players that really want to take the axe to their rivals and walk away with the largest haul, Viking Smash also offers the opportunity to Gamble  and potentially multiply their winnings by x2 or x4.

Stephan van den OetelaarCEO of Stakelogic, said: “Norse themed slots are among the most popular in the markets where we make our games available, and with Viking Smash we aim to combine this thrilling theme with gameplay that is just as exhilarating.

“As players enter the battle, Wilds wander across the reels for even more win combinations and Respins trigger that can see them land incredible treasures. The team has done an excellent job with Viking Smash, and we look forward to seeing it sail into operator game lobbies.”

Regulated iGaming markets push operators toward audit-ready affiliate tracking

As regulators scrutinise AML, RG and advertising, operators face rising pressure to validate attribution and partner payouts end to end.

Growing regulation in iGaming is changing how operators manage affiliates, track player acquisition, and control partner payouts, according to a new statement from affiliate platform provider Affnook.

The company argues that in regulated markets affiliates are increasingly treated as an extension of an operator’s marketing activity, raising the stakes for oversight in areas such as affiliate advertising practices, responsible gambling controls, anti-money laundering (AML) and data privacy. The release points to the Danish Gambling Authority as one example of a regulator highlighting potential AML risks linked to affiliate partnerships and urging operators to strengthen risk assessments across third-party acquisition channels.

Affnook says the industry is moving away from “Trust Me” affiliate reporting as stakeholders demand performance data and revenue attribution that can be independently verified. It lists audit-ready reporting, verifiable revenue attribution, transparency into tracking and commission calculations, and consistent reporting standards as key expectations in more heavily regulated environments.

The company also frames financial governance as a parallel priority to tracking, citing the need for net gaming revenue (NGR) verification, commission accuracy, invoice reconciliation and payment oversight. It adds that multi-touch player journeys and reduced effectiveness of cookie-based attribution are widening “attribution blind spots,” which can fuel partner disputes, weaken decision-making and complicate compliance reviews.

In the release, Affnook positions platform features such as audit logs, partner activity monitoring, consent-aware tracking, real-time commission calculations and server-to-server tracking as the types of capabilities operators should evaluate as regulatory expectations increase.
