What is Freya 1000?

Freya 1000 revolves around Shield Money symbols and Wheel symbols. Shield symbols can award instant cash prizes of up to 40× the stake, while Wheel symbols can provide access to a Prize Wheel with several different reward types.

The base-game mechanic can also intervene when only one or two Shield symbols land. The reels can nudge up or down to make room for additional Shields.

The biggest progression appears during the bonus rounds. Here, entire reels can fill with Shield symbols, while Wheel symbols can trigger multiplier prizes of up to 1,000×.

Shield Money symbols

Shield symbols function as Money symbols and can carry instant prize values.

A Shield can be worth up to 40× the stake. During the bonus features, these symbols become even more important because landing at least one Shield on a reel can cause that entire reel to fill with Shield symbols.

This means a single Shield landing during Free Spins can potentially create several Money symbols at once.

Reel Nudges

When only one or two Shield symbols appear during the base game, the reels can move up or down.

This Reel Nudge mechanic can create room for additional Shield symbols. As a result, a spin that initially shows only a small number of Money symbols can still develop into a stronger Shield result.

The nudges therefore add another way for the base game to create additional Shield activity without first entering a separate bonus.

Wheel symbols and Bonus Wheel

Wheel symbols can trigger the Bonus Wheel.

One prize is awarded for every Wheel symbol that lands. Possible rewards include cash prizes, multipliers and direct entry into one of the two bonus modes.

Multiplier prizes can reach up to 1,000×.

The wheel can also award direct entry into:

• 6 regular Free Spins
• 6 to 12 Super Free Spins

This allows the same Wheel feature to provide both immediate rewards and access to the main bonus rounds in Freya 1000.

Free Spins

During regular Free Spins, several of the base-game mechanics become stronger.

If at least one Shield symbol lands on a reel, that entire reel can fill with Shield symbols. Money symbols can also randomly award 3 additional Free Spins.

Wheel symbols can trigger a Multiplier Prize Wheel during the bonus, awarding multiplier values of up to 1,000×.

When multiple multipliers are awarded, their values are added together. The combined multiplier is then applied to the current win when a Wheel symbol is present in that winning spin.

Super Free Spins

Super Free Spins can be awarded directly from the Bonus Wheel and begin with 6 to 12 spins.

As in the regular Free Spins, Shield symbols can cause an entire reel to fill with Shields. Money symbols can also randomly award 3 additional Free Spins.

Wheel symbols remain important throughout the feature because they can trigger multiplier prizes of up to 1,000×.

The main difference from regular Free Spins is how those multipliers are handled. Instead of only boosting the current win, awarded multiplier values are added to a persistent Total Multiplier.

Persistent Total Multiplier

During Super Free Spins, multiplier prizes from Wheel symbols are added together and stored in one ongoing Total Multiplier.

That multiplier remains active throughout the bonus and can continue to increase whenever new multiplier prizes are awarded.

When a Wheel symbol is present in a winning spin, the accumulated Total Multiplier is applied to that win.

The Total Multiplier also boosts the value of any Money symbols that land during the same spin.

This gives the Super Free Spins a clear sense of progression. The longer the bonus continues and the more Wheel symbols award multipliers, the stronger the Total Multiplier can become.

Shield symbols during the bonus

Shield symbols play a more important role during both bonus modes than they do in the base game.

If at least one Shield lands on a reel, that entire reel can fill with Shield symbols.

A single Shield can therefore lead to several Money symbols appearing within the same spin.

During Super Free Spins, this can become especially valuable because the Total Multiplier can also boost the values of Money symbols that land on the same spin.

Extra Free Spins

During both regular Free Spins and Super Free Spins, Money symbols can randomly award 3 additional spins.

These extra spins extend the current bonus and create more opportunities to land Shield symbols, Wheel symbols and multiplier prizes.

This is particularly important during Super Free Spins because a longer bonus also gives more time for the persistent Total Multiplier to keep growing.

Why Freya 1000 stands out

Freya 1000 stands out through the way Shield Money symbols, Reel Nudges and Prize Wheels work together.

In the base game, Shield symbols can award instant prizes, while Reel Nudges can create additional opportunities for more Shields to appear. The Bonus Wheel adds cash prizes, multipliers and direct access to the two Free Spins modes.

During Free Spins, the focus shifts towards full Shield reels and multiplier prizes of up to 1,000×.

Super Free Spins take this one step further by adding those multiplier prizes to a persistent Total Multiplier that can strengthen later wins and Money symbol values.

Is Freya 1000 worth playing?

Freya 1000 is well suited to players who enjoy classic 5x3 slots with a more modern layer of Money symbols, Prize Wheels and multiplier progression.

With Shield Money symbols, Reel Nudges, two different Free Spins modes and a maximum win of 10,000× the stake, Freya 1000 offers a feature-rich Pragmatic Play experience.
