Thunderstruck Online Slots Review
Thunderstruck video slot has been around for a number of years now but is still topping the most-played online slots lists at many Microgaming casinos. You guys can’t seem to get enough of it so I’m reviewing it to see what all the fuss is about.With 5 reels and 9 paylines, Thunderstruck video slot is a touch old school compared to the latest bells and whistles feature slots with zillions of paylines and multiple feature games such as The Osbournes Video Slots, recently released.
You can bet from as little as a penny a spin through to £45 a spin which should cover most of the broad spectrum of online slots players and on max bet, the potential largest win is £150,000 (10,000 coins x 5 coin max x triple multiplier if won during the free spins feature - see below).
So what are the main draws at this most popular of online video slots? Thunderstruck has two main features: the Gamble feature on any reel wins and 15 Free Spins.
Gamble Feature: You have the option to gamble with any wins you collect along the way whilst playing Thunderstruck slots. You will be presented with the following screen…
That’s a deck of cards in the centre and you either select what colour you think the next card dealt will be to double your reel win or what suit you think it will be to quadruple your reel win amount (WARNING!! - only for stupid or desperate people!!).
The Gamble Feature is optional so you don’t ever have to use it. If you do use it and win, you can opt to gamble again up to a maximum of 5 times or a max 10,000 credits. You can collect your winnings at any stage during your run.
The Chipster has had a few goes on the Thunderstruck gamble feature but only when the prize won is small in the first place. I have never managed to call two suit colours correctly in succession though.
My advice would be to treat this feature as a novelty and only have the odd go at it on smallish wins. If someone in the pub asked you to wager your house on the flip of a coin, how would you react? You would? Er…maybe online gambling is not for you…no seriously…back away from the keys…BACK AWAY FROM THE KEYS…!!
15 Free Spins: A pretty common feature on Microgaming video feature slots. Thunderstruck slots offers 15 free spins when you get 3, 4 or 5 Scatter Rams symbols anywhere on the reels.
Any wins you get during free spin play are tripled and accumulate to give you a total win at the end of your free spins. You can also trigger the feature again if you get 3, 4 or 5 Scatter Rams during your free spins. If that’s not enough to float your goaty boat, I don’t know what is!
My experiences with this slot feature have been pretty good to date. I have won at best about 80 times my stake and at worst about 18 times my stake. These are only my experiences however and may not be representative of yours.
The biggest win possible on Thunderstruck video slot machine as touched on at the start of this slots review is £150,000. Get 5 of these Thor Wild symbols on a payline and you’ll win 10,000 credits. Do it betting the maximum 5 coins and you’ll win £50,000. Do it during the Thunderstruck free spins feature and you’ll triple that to £150,000! That’s a serious bucket of thunder and lightning!
Thor is a Wild substitute for any other symbol apart from the Scatter Rams. He’s the boy, da man, the guvnor, Germanic pagan God of thunder and now the key to potentially serious moolah! Strike me down, Hans!!
