Thunderstruck Slot Machine
Thunderstruck is a 2004 Microgaming video slot based on Thor, the Nordic god of storms, thunder, and lightning. Perhaps his extensive powers will bring you luck as you play this 5-reel, 9-payline slot game. Special features include free spins and rewarding wilds.
Forecast: Thunder and Lightening
This game has a host of storm-related symbols that also coincide with the legend of Thor. On the reels, you will find Thor himself, the Scatter Rams, Thor’s Hammer, a Horn, Thor’s Fist, Lightning, and a stormy Castle. You will also run into the generic poker symbols similar to some of the symbols found on some types of table games. Compared to its sequel Thunderstruck II, the graphics pale in comparison; however, they aren’t the worst in of cartoon-style renderings.
Get up to 2X your Win with Thor
Thor is the wild symbol, and he substitutes all other symbols on the reels apart from the Rams. More so, your wins will be doubled whenever you have Thor as substituting symbol in a winning combination.
Up to 3X Multiplier and 15 Free Spins Available
The Free Spins are pretty common in many slots but it is the presence of the 3X multiplier that makes this specific bonus feature interesting. Fifteen free spins will trigger whenever you have 3 or more Rams appearing anywhere on the reels. All wins during this bonus round are tripled. Fifteen additional free spins can be retriggered when 3 or more Rams land on the reels again. Scatter pays are also awarded before free spins initiate. Scatter wins are multiplied by total number of credits wagered.
Low-Limit Play
The betting range offered by Thunderstruck are quite limiting for high rollers, as they range from 0.01 to 45 coins. You will probably be better off playing Burning Desire or Thunderstruck II if you are a high-roller.
Verdict
Thunderstruck is more of an old-school Microgaming slot with simple graphics and limited bonus features. Nonetheless, the theoretical 96% RTP provides quite decent slot odds for such an old slot. Other Microgaming slots that play in a similar manner like Thunderstruck include Spring Break and Ladies Nite.
