Thunderstruck is a slot game that features the mythical Norse warrior Thor, with five reels and nine paylines. It has a "wild," in addition to a scatter symbol. The game is designed by Microgaming, which offers much of what is regarded as state-of-the-art in terms of online casino software.

The scatter symbol is the "Rams" symbol. and when at least three of them appear on the reels, it triggers the Free Spins Bonus Game, where the player gets 15 free spins. More free spins can actually be earned while playing the Free Spins Bonus Game. For example, 15 more free spins can be awarded if three or more Rams symbols appear during the free spin period. All wins are tripled as well.

There is also a Gamble Bonus Feature that is triggered when the player achieves any win on a payline. This feature enables the player to either double or quadruple the amount of those winnings. Full Review - Thunderstruck (8.43)

There are quite a few options that come along with this game, such as the ability to adjust all the background, win and game sounds that you would normally hear while you're playing. "Expert Mode," includes Autoplay which enables the opportunity to more or less play automatically for a number of spins that can be specified. "Quick Spin" is a nice option because it speeds up the result of the each spin, which has the potential of saving the player a lot of time.

Thunderstruck is launched when you click the "spin" button, but before hand you have the option of adjusting the size of the bet and the number of paylines that will be enabled. Thunderstruck allows you to enable up to nine paylines for each game. And the size of the coin can be adjusted, from .01 to .02 to .05 to .10 to .20 to .25 to .50 to $1. The coin size is adjusted by clicking on a minus (-) symbol or the plus (+) symbol to increase or decrease. Players can cut through all of this by just clicking the "Bet Max" button that is on the game command menu, which automatically enables all paylines and wagers the maximum amount.

You can go and take a look at the payouts at any point, as they are posted on a big graphic display. There is a series of tables that gives you the payoff for combinations including each of the various symbols.

The "Thor" is a wild symbol. It can substitute for other symbols to complete winning combinations, except it does not apply to combinations that can only be supplied by the Rams (scatter) symbol. The Thor also pays off the most for five in a row across a payline, with 10,000 for five. And when it is a wild symbol, it doubles any win.

The scatter symbol is the "Rams" symbol, and when three or more of these turn up on any spin it will activate the Free Spins Bonus Game. They can appear anywhere on the five reels.

After any regular win, players can compete in the Gamble Bonus Feature. In this process you, as the player, would be confronted with a face-down card, and you can either guess as to what color it is - red or black (right guess will double your winnings) or what suit it is (diamonds, hearts, spades, clubs) which will quadruple the winnings.
