Volatile Vikings is Relax Gaming’s high-vol Norse original: 10,000× class, prefer ~96.20% after CAD login. It is not Volatile Vikings 2’s Norse sequel at 10,000× / ~96.20% and not Hellcatraz’s original prison hold at 50,000× / ~96.20%.
Lobby search stacks Volatile Vikings 2, Hellcatraz, and Erik the Red beside it. Open the cash title that reads Volatile Vikings, then read the panel — a 94.20% or 91.00% Relax build still ships.
