You can try it out for free here at Slots Temple. From gaming giants Microgaming, Thunderstruck II has a huge following and it’s not hard to see why. The free spins feature is, simply put, one of the most exciting out there. There are five different free spins features to choose from, although you’ll have to unlock them all, one by one. The winning potential is incredible, and even smaller bets can lead to some huge cash payouts if you’re lucky. There is also a base game special feature that pops up from time to time, boosting your balance by even more!

How to Play

It’s very simple to play the Thunderstruck 2 slot free play demo and you don’t need to have any knowledge of slots games or how they work in order to get started. In order to play, all you have to do is check the bet amount is to your satisfaction and click the spin button. This will set the reels in motions and hopefully start you on your path to winning.

To change your bet, simply used the plus and minus buttons displayed underneath the coin amount. You can then change the number of coins you bet. This is a fixed payline game with 243 ways to win, so you will not be able to change the number of paylines you bet on. All you’ll have to worry about is the coin size and the number of coins. Once you’re happy with the total bet – displayed under the Bet wording – hit spin and get going. You can bet anywhere from 1 – 10 coins, going up in increments of one.

There are 243 ways to win and these 243 ways are always active. There is no way to increase or decrease the number of paylines or win ways. All the payout tables will display the prizes in coins rather than your own currency so you need to bear in mind your coin size when you’re trying to work out the wins for different combos.

Free Spins

Thunderstruck II has a total of four free spins games. These are accessed from the Great Hall of Spins feature, which is triggered when you land three or more bonus hammer symbols anywhere across the reels. If you are lucky enough to trigger the Great Hall of Spins feature five times, a new free spins game will be opened up and you’ll be able to select this in future free spins sessions. All scatter and bonus wins are added to your regular wins. If you trigger the free spins games, your original bet amount from the base game will be the amount any winnings from the free spins sessions are calculated on.:

The Valkyrie bonus game

This is the first of the four free spins games and the only one you will be able to play at first. Once you have triggered the free spins feature five times, the second game will be unlocked. In the Valkyrie game, you will get 10 free spins. Free spins can be retriggered during the free spins game by landing three or more bonus hammer symbols anywhere on the reels. Any wins you land during the Valkyrie game will be multiplied by five. As you can imagine, this free game has huge winning potential and it’s possible to scoop some seriously impressive payouts if the reels go your way.

The Loki bonus game

This is the second of the free spins games and will be unlocked and made available to you once you have triggered the free spins feature five times. When this game is unlocked, you will be able to choose between the Valkyrie and Loki free spins games.

The Loki game awards you a total of 15 free spins – that’s five more than the Valkyrie game. However, this game does not feature a multiplier like Valkyrie does. In the Loki game, you will instead see the Wild Magic symbol. This special symbol appears on reel four – the central reel – in random spins. If you’re lucky enough to land this special symbol, up to 14 regular symbols will also turn wild! This can lead to some huge wins, making this a very lucrative free spins game. The Wild Magic symbol pays out at the same rates as the base game wild symbol but without the multiplier associated with the base game. You can retrigger free spins by landing two or more bonus hammer symbols on the reels during the Loki feature.

If you land two bonus symbols, you’ll receive an extra free spin. Two bonus symbols will land you two extra spins, three will get you three spins, and four hammer symbols will reward you with an impressive four extra free spins, all with the special Wild Magic symbol popping up at random.

The Odin bonus game

This is the third of the free spins games and will be unlocked when you have entered the Great Hall of Spins 10 times. When this game is unlocked, you will be able to choose between the Valkyrie, Loki and Odin bonus games each time you trigger a free spins session. The Odin game rewards you with an incredible 20 free spins. The special feature in this game is the Wild Raven symbol. It transforms symbols at random into wild multipliers. You will receive up to a 6x multiplier on winning spins, paving the way for some fantastic prizes. Unlike the previous free spins games, it is not possible to retrigger the free spins if you are playing the Odin game.

The Thor bonus game

Last but not least is the Thor game. This game is unlocked when you trigger the free spins session 15 times. The Thor game is the fourth free spins game, and by the time this is unlocked, you will be able to choose from all four games each time you enter the Great Hall of Spins. The Thor game rewards you with an incredible 25 free spins and has a special Rolling Reels feature. All winning symbols will be removed if they form part of a winning combo – after you’ve received your payout of course. Once the winning combos have been removed, the symbols above those symbols shift downwards and fill the empty spaces. If you receive further winning combos, the entire process will be repeated. This leads to some great wins if you’re lucky and can really add on to the 25 free spins you already have by giving you plenty of extra chances to build up your bankroll.

During the Thor game, you will receive a multiplier for every Rolling Reel. This multiplier increases by one with each consecutive win, up to a maximum of 5x. When the Rolling Reel feature ends and no more wins are created, the multiplier will go back to 1x in time for the next spin.

Wild Storm Bonus

As well as the Great Hall of Spins, there is another thrilling special feature that pops up at random while you’re playing the base game. The Wild Storm bonus game can be triggered on any spin, meaning you will never know when it might appear! You’ll know when this special feature is starting up though, as the entire screen will appear to darken slightly, and dramatic storm clouds will appear across the top of the reels! This really is a thrilling feature and it’s made all the more exciting by never knowing when it could crop up. It could be triggered on any spin, making each game thrilling.

You’ll see the words Wild Storm at the top of the screen as the feature launches and up to five reels will be made into special wild reels. The entire set of reels will become wilds, and up to all five – the number of reels affected will vary and is determined at random – will become huge expanded wilds. This can be an extremely lucrative feature, especially if you’re lucky enough to have several reels turn wild at once.

The scatter symbol and the regular wild symbol will not appear during the Wild Storm feature, so you won’t be able to trigger free games during this feature, or receive any bet multipliers.
