Pragmatic Play’s “1000 series” has become a recognizable sub-brand within its catalogue: souped-up, higher-ceiling remixes of existing hits, typically built around a big multiplier trajectory and a max win figure that dwarfs the original. Freya 1000 borrows its Norse setting from Might of Freya Megaways but departs from it mechanically in almost every way that matters.

Reel Layout & Math Model
Where Might of Freya Megaways ran a Megaways engine with up to 117,649 ways to win across 6 reels, Freya 1000 strips things back to a classic 5-reel format with 10 fixed paylines. All symbols pay from left to right on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel, and only the highest win per line is paid. When winning on multiple paylines, all wins are added to the total.
Key numbers:
- 5-reel, 10-payline slot – no Megaways, no cluster pays, no tumble mechanic
- High Volatility
- Theoretical RTP of 96.50%, consistent across the base game and all three Buy Feature options
- Maximum win capped at 10,000x total bet – if a Free Spins round hits that ceiling, the round ends immediately, the win is awarded, and any remaining spins are forfeited
- Minimum bet $0.20, maximum bet $240.00
Symbols & Paytable
Freya 1000 keeps the Norse/Asgardian visual identity from the Megaways original, but the specific symbol cast is its own. The top-paying regular symbol is a gold-framed Viking longship, followed by a wolf, a bear, a silver Celtic necklace, and a drinking horn. The low-value tier is the standard royals: A, K, Q, J, and 10.
Freya herself appears as the Wild symbol. She substitutes for all symbols except the Wheel and Money symbols, and can land on reels 2, 3, 4, or 5 only.
Two special symbol types drive the core gameplay:
- Money Symbols – Three coloured shields (green, purple, red) that each pay a random value when they land, drawn from a set ranging from 0.25x to 40x total bet. If only 1 or 2 Money symbols are present on a reel at the end of a spin, the reel may randomly nudge up or down to reveal additional Money symbols and fill the entire reel vertically.
- Wheel Symbol – Whenever a Wheel symbol lands, a prize wheel opens and awards a random prize for each Wheel symbol on screen. Possible prizes include a flat money value (5x, 8x, or 20x total bet), a multiplier applied to the current spin’s win (5x, 8x, 15x, 25x, 100x, or 1000x), or a bonus round trigger (6 Free Spins, 6 Super Free Spins, or 12 Super Free Spins).
Bonus Rounds
The bonus structure is where Freya 1000 really separates itself. Rather than the Megaways version’s consecutive-tumble triggers, entry here is entirely through the Wheel symbol, and there are two distinct tiers.
- Free Spins – The round starts with 6 free spins on special reels. During the round, whenever at least one Money symbol lands on a reel, that reel nudges to fill entirely with Money symbols. When a Wheel symbol hits, the wheel opens and awards a random multiplier for each Wheel symbol on screen – possible values run from 2x up to 1,000x. Multipliers won from the wheel during the round are added together and apply to the current free spin’s win, but only on spins where at least one Wheel symbol is present. Money symbols can also randomly transform to reveal +3 Spins after paying their value, extending the round.
- Super Free Spins – The premium tier. The round starts with either 6 or 12 super free spins depending on the wheel result that triggered it. The nudge mechanic works the same way, and the multiplier values on the wheel are identical (2x through 1,000x), but the critical difference is that multipliers are persistent: all multipliers won from the wheel are added to a running total that stays active until the end of the round. This cumulative multiplier applies to every subsequent super free spin in which at least one Wheel symbol lands, including the values of any Money symbols on that spin. The +3 Spins retrigger mechanic is also available here.
Buy Feature
Players who want to skip straight to the bonus can buy in at three price points:
- 50x total bet – triggers the Free Spins round (6 free spins)
- 75x total bet – triggers the Super Free Spins round (6 super free spins)
- 200x total bet – triggers the Super Free Spins round (12 super free spins)
All three options maintain the same 96.50% RTP as the base game.
Verdict
Freya 1000 is not the tumble-grid, cluster-pay overhaul that the “1000 series” branding might have suggested. Instead, Pragmatic Play has taken the Norse skin and built what is essentially a Money-and-Wheel mechanic slot on a classic 5-reel, 10-payline frame – closer to titles like Buffalo King Untamed than to Sugar Rush 1000. The real ceiling-raiser is the Super Free Spins persistent multiplier, where stacking Wheel hits can compound rapidly toward the 10,000x cap.
With a clean 96.50% RTP, three Buy Feature tiers, and high volatility, it’s positioned squarely at bonus-hunters who want a clear path to big multiplier payoffs without Megaways complexity.
