Thunderstruck II is the sequel to an earlier, popular, online slot from developer Microgaming. This second part also focuses on Norse mythology and you play in a cold setting where various Norse gods pass by. Each main character on the reels has their own bonus, which gives you a chance to win up to $ 600,000.

The playing field of Thunderstruck II consists of five reels with three rows. This means that there are always 15 symbols on the reels. There are no paylines on which you combine the symbols, but ‘ways to win’, where the same symbols on consecutive reels always make a profit.
Your bet is determined as if you were playing on 30 paylines. Thus, a coin value of $ 0.01 and a single coin bet will give you a total bet of $ 0.30. There are up to ten coins you can bet per spin and the highest coin value is $ 0.25.
With the autoplay function you can play a number of spins without having to press the button yourself.
There are four Norse gods and figures that make up the highest symbols. Furthermore, there are two symbols as attributes that pay out slightly lower winnings (the ship and the house) and the reels are further filled with low symbols (the 9 – A from the deck).
The first feature of Thunderstruck II is when you put the logo in a winning combination. Not only does the logo as a wild symbol make for a winning combination, but any win made with the help of this symbol is also doubled.
All other features can be found when you see three bonus symbols (the hammer of Thor) in the picture. These symbols act as scatters and therefore do not have to be on a Payline. When you unlock this bonus, you will receive a new free spins bonus the moment you have won the bonus more often.
The number of free spins does not only depend on the bonus you choose or get. Also in the bonus itself are sometimes extra free spins to be won, where you get extra spins in the first two bonuses with Thor's hammer. The minimum number of free spins is 10 spins, while the maximum number is 25 free spins.
The more times you win the bonus, or enter the Great Hall of Free Spins, the better the bonus you get. The first bonus is the Valkyrie bonus, which you can expect the first four times you win the bonus. You get 10 free spins that are multiplied 5x.
The Loki Free Spins bonus gives you 15 free spins where a Wild Magic feature applies. This feature turns random symbols into extra wilds. The next level of bonuses is for the Odin bonus. This will win you 20 free spins where Odin's Raven provides random multiplying wild symbols.
The best bonus, which you get if you have won the bonus more than 14 times, is the Thor Bonus. Here you get 25 free spins with a Rolling Reels feature, where consecutive wins ensure an ever higher multiplier. When you have unlocked all the bonuses, you can choose which bonus you want. If you play the game again later, you do not have to start again to unlock the bonuses.
