Thunderstruck is one of the most popular online slots of all time, and its sequel – imaginatively named Thunderstruck II by Microgaming – builds on all of the slot’s best features. Now players will get to enjoy a slot with more ways to win, loads more features and, perhaps more importantly, a much larger top prize, which is worth a staggering 2,400,000 coins.
If you’ve played the original Thunderstruck, you’ll know that the graphics are quite dated, however this has been remedied in the sequel. You’ll now be able to enjoy crisp graphics on every spin, and you’ll see an array of different characters every time the reels stop. The logo is the highest paying symbol during the base game, with players winning 1,000x their bet per payline when getting five across an active payline. Odin, Loki and Valkyrie are also high paying symbols at this online slot.
There’s no need to choose how many paylines to play at this slot, as all players will have to use the 243 different ways to win every time they spin the reels. You can alter your bet amount though, which can range from 0.30 coins all the way through to 75 coins per spin, meaning that this slot is suitable for low and high stakes players alike.
Bonus Features
There are loads of bonus features at Thunderstruck II, which is something that is sure to please most players. The first of these is the wild symbol, which can replace most other symbols on the reels and create winning combinations. What’s more, whenever it is used, your win will be doubled.
Next is the Wildstorm feature, which is activated completely randomly after a spin. When it is activated, it can turn up to five reels wild, leading to the chance to win some seriously large prizes. Unfortunately, this random bonus isn’t activated all that often, however when it does pop up, you’ll certainly be glad to see it!
The main feature at this slot is activated when spinning in three or more of the Bonus symbol anywhere on the reels. When first activated, you’ll play the Valkyrie bonus game, which sees you getting 10 free spins, with a 5x multiplier attached to all wins. Activating the bonus game multiple times will lead to better free spins rounds being unlocked though, with the best being Thor free spins – 25 free spins in total, with Rolling Reels activated.
