Theme
Thunderstruck 2 is an icy, feisty five-reel slot with a chilly Viking theme. It’s also sequel to one of the most popular slots of all time, Thunderstruck.
With an impressive 243 ways to win, and bets from 30 credits, you could win a huge amount by lining up the mythical figures, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This epic slot from Microgaming has incredible cinematic sound, five bonus games and stunning graphics. So, grab your hammer, and glue a pair of goose wings to a cycle helmet, and let’s take a look at what makes this gorgeous HD game so special.Theme
No doubt about it, this slot is beautiful and cinematic. Although not officially linked to Thor of Marvel Comics fame, the allusions to the blond-haired Viking god are blatant.
Everything from the twinkly, evocative music, to the reels made of carved ice, make it an absorbing and somewhat powerful playing experience. If you’ve got decent speakers hooked up to your computer, then turn them up – the rumbling thunder is exceptionally realistic, and will make you jump. Well, what do you expect – after all, Thor is the god of Thunder.
Characters
The characters on the reels are those of Norse legend including Thor, his hammer, Viking longboats, and Valhalla, the mythical city of dead soldiers, reached by a rainbow.
This slot is dark and brooding, too – I have to be in a certain mood to play games like this – it’s suited to dark winter nights, howling winds, and a full moon. It’s certainly not a sunny day game, and anyway, all of those lovely icy carvings would melt.
How to play
In total, there are 243 permanent pay ways. A pay way is a combination of winning symbols which line up on consecutive reels across the window. They are permanently enabled, meaning you can’t pick and choose.
The Wild Multiplier symbol is the ‘Thunderstruck’ logo. When this materialises, it can double the payout of a specific combination as a wild symbol. However, it does not substitute for a scatter symbol. It can create a winning combination when multiple symbols appear across a pay way, although these are not multipliers.
The bonus hammer is the Scatter Symbol. When two or more bust on to the reels, they can complete a winning scatter combination. Just like Thor, you will come to know and love that hammer, and put it to great use – if three or more appear on five reels, it grants you access to the Great Hall of Spins bonus games.
Bonus Games
A crack of thunder heralds the Wild Storm Bonus Game, which is randomly activated when the gods see fit. Be mesmerised as your five reels are transformed into wilds, and attempt to get multiple winning combinations on each pay way.
The Great Hall Bonus Games
In the Valkyrie Bonus Game, you are rewarded with 10 free spins. If you get three or more hammers scattered across the reels, you get extra free spins.
The Loki Bonus Game is activated once you have entered the Great Hall of Spins five times. Get 15 free spins, and if you get the Wild Magic symbol on reel 3, up to 14 symbols will magically transformed into wilds.
The gods get bigger and more important the more times you enter that Great Hall, for instance, in the Odin Bonus Game, there are 20 free spins.
And finally, in the Thor Bonus game, which is activated if you enter the Great Hall 15 times, you get 25 free spins. This also activates the trademarked Microgaming Rolling Reels feature. In this, the reels explode and shift to fill up the empty spaces, once again giving your speakers a good workout.
Payouts
Play from 30 credits a spin from 300 coins. Every additional coin you play multiplies win by one. It has a jackpot of 1000 coins, and an overall prize of 2,430,000 coins.
