Thunderstruck II
Thunderstruck II review
Thunderstruck II features a timeless Microgaming reel setup that was pioneering upon its initial launch. With 5 reels, 3 rows, and 243 potential ways to achieve victory, players only need to match three or more symbols in consecutive order from left to right on any row in order to win.
While this may seem commonplace now, the vast number of winning opportunities was a groundbreaking concept at the time and a key factor in Thunderstruck II's popularity. Its graphics were also a noteworthy aspect, though not immediately evident with just minimal theming around the reels. However, the lively animations within the game, along with the compelling soundtrack pulsating through one's ears, create an immersive experience that enhances gameplay.
Bets can range from $0.3 to $15 per spin when facing Valhalla's mightiest inhabitants. In addition to the ground-breaking gameplay, players get a pretty generous RTP of 96.65% and a low volatility setting, contrary to popular belief. Thunderstruck II may land smaller wins more frequently, but it is certainly capable of paying out a large amount.
During the Wildstorm feature, Thor jumps onto the grid to electrify the game by turning up to five reels completely wild. You can make a surprising amount of money doing this since all reels going wild is worth 8,100 times your stake! The Great Hall of Spins feature is just as adrenaline-charged, with four different variants featuring different rewards and modifiers. The bonus rounds are unlocked sequentially as players trigger Valkyrie free spins. The key is the Mjolnir scatter symbol, which triggers the bonus feature if three or more are triggered.
