How to play Thunderstruck Slot Game

Thunderstruck, a video slot by Microgaming, is based on the Nordic god of storms, thunder, and lightning, also known as Thor.

Features

Symbols: This stormy slot at Diamond Jackpots features a selection of fitting symbols, including lightening, a stormy Castle as well as Thor himself and objects related to him. These include Thor’s Hammer, the Scatter Rams, a Horn and Thor’s Fist. In addition, you will also run into some generic poker symbols.

Expert and Regular mode: Regular mode is a simplified the game while Expert mode has some extra features such as an AutoPlay option where you can choose between sessions of 5 and 10 uninterrupted spins. When the AutoPlay spins expire or you end the session manually you will be returned to the regular mode.

Special features

3X Multiplier and Free Spins up for grabs: If you land three or more Rams, 15 free spins are activated. All the winnings acquired during this round are multiplied by three. If luck is on your side and you land three or more Rams during the free spins round, 15 more free spins will be triggered.

Thor as 2x multiplier: Thor himself represents the wild symbol and can substitute all other symbols except the Rams. The Rams represent the scatters in the game. Scatter symbols cannot be substituted by any other icon, as they trigger the bonus rounds. In addition, whenever Thor completes a winning combination by acting as a substitute, your winnings are automatically multiplied by two.

Gamble feature: Following every winning spin the player will be represented with the option of taking their winnings or gambling with this balance. If you choose the gamble feature you will need to predict the colour or suit of a face-down card. If your prediction is wrong you will lose all your winnings and return to the start game screen

Betting range

Thunderstruck has a maximum of 9 lines and 5 coins per line, meaning you can only bet 45 coins per spin. You can adjust the coin value and number of lines by using the options at the bottom of the screen. - and + adjusts the coin value and the Select Lines/Coins button the number of active lines as well as coins per line.

You can also choose to bet the maximum. Selecting this option will activate all of the paylines as well as bet the maximum amount of coins. Bets range from 0.01 to only 45 coins. So no matter how much you want to raise the stakes, you would not be able to. This could potentially turn away high rollers who prefer to take some risk.

Thunderstruck is quite limited in terms of betting ranges and bonus features. I expected more from such an amazing themed slot. I would not mind some extra bonus features or more “wow” factor in terms of combinations or bonus games.
