Thunderstruck 2

How to Play Thunderstruck 2

The slot game has five reels with 243 different ways to win and a variety of bonus features. The icons in the game include a Thunderstruck II logo piece, Thor, Valkyrie, Loki, Odin, a raven, Mjolnir (Thor's hammer), a longship and a rainbow road, as well as the standard 9, 10, J, Q, K and A symbols.

Those who participate in the gaming experience cannot change the number of paylines they wager; however, they do have the ability to change the amount of coins they wager for each individual game event. These coins come in different sizes ranging from $0.30 to $15.00.

Combinations of any of the symbols can lead to winning spins, but players should watch for these special combinations:

• The Thunderstruck II logo is wild and substitutes for any symbol except Mjolnir. Wild symbols represent a maximum amount that can be won when they form a winning line. When a line of symbols is formed with the logo as a substitute, the amount "won" is doubled, and this doubled amount is what the player sees on the screen as their total win for that line.
• The Mjolnir symbols are essential to gain access to the Great Hall of Spins, a bonus stage where players can earn Free Spins with massive multipliers. The Hall has four levels, each associated with one of the game's featured characters. (See the Special Features section for more information).

Graphics and Sounds

Graphics: Few games are more likely to get your adrenaline flowing. The reels are easy to see and grasp, and the graphics for many of the characters are incredibly intricate and well done. The background panel is an atmospheric icy blue. The number and letter symbols that make up a winning combination are quite cute, bursting forth in a tangle of electrical surges. Each of the various characters that line the reels also has their own startling reaction, with all sorts of zooms and pans that serve to inform you of the victory you have just achieved.

Sounds: The appeal here is in the sounds. The background music during normal gameplay is a bit lackluster and subdued, but this serves to heighten the impact of the entrance to the Great Hall of Spins, where players are greeted with an electrifying guitar riff. The Great Hall is a place to revel and take in the surroundings; even if you don't walk away with a digital purse full of coins, you should walk away with a smile and a memory of a good time.

Jackpot

Thunderstruck II players who adored the original may be disappointed to discover that there is no real jackpot in the game. However, if you venture into the Great Hall of Spins, you can still land some seriously hefty payouts - up to 2.4 million coins if Lady Luck is on your side. These payouts aren't standard jackpots, mind you, and you won't see any of them coming in a giant Pyke-sized horned helmet. But they're big, and they're there, in part because the game itself has a well-hidden propensity to hand out big wins.

Less volatility: On the bright side, the structure of the Great Hall leads to less volatility. Players don't have to spin several times before they get a payout. The end result is a more stable game that's more enjoyable to play for longer periods of time. Instead of thunderstorms, the Reel Steal makes for a pleasant neighborhood.

Special Features

To be fair, sometimes (e.g. The Dark Knight, which offers mini clips from the movie for some combinations), slot games have a cool feature or two. But when it comes to features, nothing beats the Great Hall of Spins. You've already been promised a breakdown of the Great Hall of Spins, so let's get to it.

Players can earn their way into the Great Hall of Spins over and over again. With each new entry, players will enter a different level of the Great Hall, where they will find the unique and delightful features that level is known for.

There are four levels within the Great Hall of Free spins, each represented by a different Norse character:

• Triggered the first four times, this level offers players 10 free spins in the Great Hall.
• When the Great Hall has five or more entries, Loki will award 15 free spins. He will also activate a Wild Magic feature that randomly substitutes symbols.
