Thunderstruck Slot By Microgaming

Thunderstruck Slot Review:

Thunderstruck is a Norse themed slot released by Microgaming in 2004. What you don’t know is that this 5×3 reel and 9 paylines slot was adapted in 2015 with the tiny screen of a smartwatch in mind and is one of the few online slots that can be played on a smartwatch.

It’s a thunderous intervention so now Thor the Nordic God of the Storms, Thunder and lightning will be revealing his extensive powers on a small gadget tied to your wrist. The slot can also be played on desktops, mobile devices and tablets and all its special features can be enjoyed while at home or on the move.

Betting Range:

The betting range is limited if you are a high roller but in saying that it does cater for all budgets. The coins range from 0.01- 45 coins. The games RTP is 96.01%

Electrifying Symbols:

Thunderstruck has a host of storm related symbols that all tie in nicely with the legend of Thor.

On the reels you will find the Mighty Thor, Thor’s Hammer, the Horn of plenty (Cornucopia), Thor’s Fist, a Stormy Castle and bolts of Lightning. Thor’s Hammer is the most rewarding symbol giving you 83.33 x your stake for 5 on a payline. The lower value symbols are the generic Poker symbols.

A Mighty Wild & Scatter Symbols:

The Wild in this game is Thor himself with the Scatter Symbol being the Rams.

Thor (the Wild) substitutes for all the other symbols apart from the Rams (Scatters). When Thor substitutes in a winning combination your wins will be doubled.

Thunderstruck’s Free Spins Feature with Multiplier:

Free Spins are always a nice feature in any video slot game and Thunderstruck has 15 Free Spins. The highlight in this feature is the 3 x Multiplier.

The Free Spins are triggered when you land 3 or more of the Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. All wins during this round are tripled. You can also trigger 15 additional Free Spins when 3 or more Rams/Scatters land on the reels again.

Scatter pays are also awarded prior to the Free Spin Feature being initiated. The Scatter wins are multiplied by the total number of credits wagered.

Thunderstruck Slot Conclusion:

Thunderstruck Video Slot is a low to medium variance slot but it does however offer good win potentials. Should you manage to fill the reels with Thor Wilds you could win 10000 x your stake per spin. It’s a simple fast paced slot, graphically slightly out dated but it is one of the most popular online slots of all times. It’s certainly an iconic slot that has not lost its appeal after being around for 15 years and it most certainly paved the way for other Norse Mythology themed slots.
