Thunderstruck II Slot

Released by Microgaming in 2004, Thunderstruck captivated slots players with its colorful, but realistic depiction of Thor, the Norse god of thunder. Given this popularity, it's little surprise that Microgaming released a sequel to this hit game called Thunderstruck II. The immediate upgrade here is that Thunderstruck II is a 243 Ways to Win slot, as opposed to the 9-payline setup featured in the original game. Many players are fans of 243 Ways to Win because it creates so many different winning combinations. What other good qualities does Thunderstruck II offer? Find out as we discuss this game's details, features and return to player (RTP).

Thunderstruck II Slot Details

Although this game gives you 243 Ways to Win, its betting features act more like a 30-payline slot. You must play 30 coins, which, with the coin size set at €0.01, makes the minimum bet worth €0.30. You can wager up to €0.05 per coin and play up to 300 coins per spin, making the maximum bet worth €15.00.

As for volatility, Thunderstruck II ranks on the higher end, although you may not notice with 243 Ways to Win and the high RTP. This game has a lot of features that reduce the frequency at which you'll win. But the good news is that you can look forward to some huge wins.

Characters in this game center on Norse mythology, such as Thor, the evil Loki, a Valkyrie and Odin. Even though the original Thunderstruck had good graphics, you'll notice that this game is even more detailed.

Thunderstruck II Slot Features

This game offers plenty of ways to boost your payouts, including multipliers ranging from 2x to 6x, scatter symbols and the Windstorm feature. Regarding the latter, a windstorm will rock the screen and give you a free spin with 2-5 expanding wilds.

The best features lie in the Great Hall of Spins, which you unlock by getting 3 or more hammers on the screen. In the Great Hall of Spins, you'll be able to work your way up through the following four bonus levels:

• Valkyrie Free Spins - You receive 10 free spins and a 5x multiplier.
• Loki Free Spins - You get 15 free spins, and Loki's magic transforms certain symbols into wilds.
• Odin Free Spins - You receive 20 free spins, and 2x to 6x multipliers when ravens land on the reels.
• Thor Free Spins - You get 25 free spins and Rolling Reels (a.k.a. cascading reels), where winning symbols disappear and make way for symbols from above to fall down and create additional wins.

Don't forget that you can also win up to 2,430,000 credits on any given spin thanks to all of the multipliers and wilds in this game.

Thunderstruck II Slot Payout (RTP%)

This is one of Microgaming’s highest-paying slots with a 96.95% payback rate. While the first Thunderstruck was great, the sequel brings this slots tale into modern times with more special features and better graphics than before. Sometimes the volatility can be frustrating, but the high payback and giant payouts make up for this.
