How To Play Thunderstruck 2 Slot

There are a few things to get your head around with this slot but nothing too complicated so don’t be daunted. Open up the paytable by clicking on ‘View Pays’ beneath the leftmost reel to see what’s in store.

In order to make a winning combination, you simply need to have matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, starting at the leftmost reel. Thunderstruck II wilds can substitute for all standard symbols, with the exceptions being the bonus symbols. When doing so, a 2x multiplier is applied to the winnings. The wild also creates its own winning combination when multiple symbols appear in succession, though these wins are not doubled. Get 5 wilds in succession for the 1,000 coin jackpot payout.

The bonus symbols are represented by Thor’s hammer and do not need to be in succession from left to right. Get 2 or more bonus symbols anywhere on the reels to have a multiplier applied to your stake for that spin, up to 200x for 5 bonus symbols. 3 or more bonus symbols will grant entry into the Great Hall of Spins.

Upon your 1st to 4th entry, you will be rewarded with Valkyrie’s 10 free spins which come with a 5x multiplier. You can re-trigger free spins in this game. From the 5th entry onwards you will be awarded Loki’s 15 free spins with a wild magic feature. This randomly changes symbols into wilds to make more wins possible. Subsequent bonus symbols can also re-trigger additional free spins.

From the 10th trigger of the bonus feature, you’ll get Odin’s 20 free spins with a special raven feature. Odin’s ravens will randomly turn symbols into 2x and 3x multipliers and even a 6x multiplier if both ravens land. From the 15th trigger of the bonus feature, you’ll get Thor’s 25 free spins with rolling reels (also known as avalanche reels). Here winning symbols are removed creating space for additional symbols to fall into place and create additional wins on each free spin. Each consecutive win will increase the multiplier up to 5x in this free spins game.

Setting up the game is relatively easy and we suggest you begin by clicking ‘Expert’ on the taskbar underneath the main game area. This will open up the full array of options. Begin by using the + & – buttons to select your coin value and repeat the process to determine how many coins you wish to bet. Remember, the cost per spin is 30 coins, so each additional coin you add will be multiplied by this amount. For example; a coin value of 0.05 with 4 coins selected will cost 6.00 per spin (0.05 x 4 = 0.20 x 30 cost per spin = 6.00).

Once you are happy with your adjustments and have checked under the ‘Bet’ heading that the cost per spin is within your budget, simply click ‘Spin’ to start playing. Alternatively, you can click ‘5x’ or ‘10x’ to initiate the number of auto spins displayed. Further auto spin controls are located on a control panel which is accessible via the ‘Auto Play’ button. Be careful when using the ‘Max Bet’ button as the cost per spin will be automatically be set to 300x the coin value displayed.

Along the bottom taskbar, you will see an options button. This opens a menu with quick-spin and sound settings, along with the option to toggle credits/coins as your preferred display for balance and wins. There is also a stats menu that allows you to see how long you have been playing, how many spins have been played and your highest wins for the current session.

Thunderstruck 2 Slot Tips

You can play Thunderstruck 2 video slot at most Microgaming casinos including Viking Slots and Castle Jackpot. It’s rarely used to headline a welcome package but can be played with bonus cash if you wish. We advise against doing this if you intend to beat the wagering requirements of a casino bonus. It’s a high-risk game to play and it’s possible to burn through quite a lot of cash before hitting a big enough win to recoup losses.

You can get some awesome wins on this game. Returns are relative to your stake but even if you’re playing conservatively, the possibility to win 2,4 million coins is a real draw. The base game tends to be laden with dry spells and only minor wins unless the Wildstorm feature comes to the rescue. It’s the bonus games which tend to provide the bigger returns with bigger and better casino rewards up for grabs the more times you unlock the free spins. We played all the way through to the Thor bonus game and came out with a nice 7,280 coin return but it could have been so much better.

Is Thunderstruck 2 The Right Slot For You?

If you’re looking to wager an expendable balance to chase a big win, then Thunderstruck 2 online slot will be right up your street. It’s a high variance game that offers very few small to medium wins but can occasionally pay out handsomely. The return to player (RTP) is 96.65% which gives the casino a house edge of just 3.35%. This is extremely good for an online slot and suggests that long-term play can be rewarding with sensible bankroll management.

You’ll get a real sense of involvement in this game as the more times you unlock the feature, the better it gets. This makes it an ideal slot for those who like to spend hours spinning the reels and gives an added purpose to investing your time in this game. In keeping with the immersive element, there are paytable achievements which are earned by completing all payouts for each symbol. Unlock each symbol and your paytable will change to gold.

Anyone who has played and enjoyed the original Thunderstruck is sure to enjoy this game. It has better graphics and more features, though does require a lot more patience to play due to its high volatility.
