How to play Thunderstruck II

Thunderstruck II video slot from Microgaming features 5 reels and 243 ways to win. This video slot has an epic feel to it with imagery from the tales of Asgard.

The soundtrack offers ethereal music, which during free spin rounds becomes heroic and victorious, increasing the excitement as you play. The colour scheme of the game is dark and moody, resembling the tones of a raging thunderstorm. The 9, 10, J, Q, K and A are reminiscent of runestones in electric blue, with bright coloured images of Norse Gods, viking ships and Valhalla. The high paying symbols are Thunderstruck II logo, Thor, Odin and Loki.

You can play Thunderstruck II for free with play credits, or play with real cash, and set your wager as low as €0.30 all the way up to the highest possible wager of €15.

Thunderstruck II features

The reels have the traditional layout and use of standard 9 – Ace symbols, with additional images of the Norse Gods and Asgard. At any point during the main game, the ‘Wild Storm’ feature can be randomly triggered.

The game features a Player Achievements structure, making sure that previously unlocked features can be resumed in new play sessions. The scatter symbol in the form of Thor’s hammer – Mjölnir – awards entry into The Great Hall of Spins and each entry to this feature will bring you closer to unlocking the chambers of the other gods, who wield greater features and rewards. The more bonuses you win, the more bonuses you can win!

In the Free Spin games you can receive a multiplier up to six times (6x) and also the chance to get even more Free Spins in the same bonus round.

But the gods of Thunderstruck II go even further in offering new features, such as the randomly triggered ‘Wild Storm’ feature which can turn up to five reels wild. The introduction of a Player Achievements structure allows you to track your progress and pick up where you left off last session.

Wild Storm feature

The Wild Storm feature triggers randomly during the main game. Storm clouds gather at the top of the screen and Thor appears, soaring into the heavens and shortly after lightning will turn one or more reels into Wilds, covering each reel. During this feature you have the possibility to win a staggering €121,500!

When three or more Bonus symbols land anywhere on the reels, entry into the Great Hall of Spins is awarded. Each entry progresses you closer to unlocking additional chambers, containing more godly rewards.

Your journey through the Great Hall of Spins is saved, so when you return to the game your position along the golden progression bar will remain in place.
