Thunderstruck II online slot machine has 5 reels and 43 permanently enabled ways to win (up to 243 in bonus rounds), plus Wild Multiplier symbols, and 4 highly rewarding free spin style bonus features and Wild Storm bonus round. As a sequel to the 2003 release of one of Microgaming's most popular and famous slot, Thunderstruck II remains true to the theme of the original slot game, yet the player experience has been lifted to an entirely new level. The game was released in May 2010 with 2 other video slots - Queen of the Jungle, 9 line slot machine with 3 bonus games and free spins round, and Lady in Red, sensationally jazzy 25 payline video slot featuring 25 free spins.

Thunderstruck II Video Slot is based on the popular Norse God of Thunder - Thor and is a continuation of his journey along with other ancient Gods depicted with all their glory in the realm of Asgard. Players will enjoy a well known brand with high quality enhanced graphics and animations, epic sounds and a hall of extraordinary bonus features, larger than life characters and innovative game play with no payline constraints but up to 243 ways to win.

Symbols need to be aligned left to right anywhere on the reels to win. There are 43 winning combinations in the base game and up to 243 winning combos in bonus feature games allowing you to create more rewarding opportunities. Although the top jackpot in the base game in just 1,000 coins or up to $500.00 in credits (when you hit 5 Wild Thunderstruck II Logos), the highest payouts are available in WildStorm Bonus: 1,000 x 10 Coins x 243 Ways = 2,430,000 Coins or in the Valkirie Bonus Round.

So you can win up to incredible €/$121,500.00 per spin if you bet max 10 x $0.05 coins. Thunderstruck II offers coin deniminations between 0.01 and 0.05 credits and a maximum bet of 15.00 credits (30 pay line costs x 10 coins), minimum bet is 0.30 credits per spin.

Wild Multiplier: Look out the Thunderstruck II Logo - the wild symbol that substitute for all other symbols except the Bonus Hammer scatter symbol. The Logo will also double (2x multiplier) the payout of any combination it completes.

Scatter: Bonus Hammer is a Scatter symbol that has no separate payouts in the base game (only on the free spins) but activates the Great Hall of Spins bonus game. Hit 3 or more scatters anywhere on the reels to enter the bonus round.

Wild Storm Bonus Round
The Wild Storm bonus game is randomly activated during the regular slot game. In this feature game up to 5 reels are transformed into wild reels where all positions can substitute for other symbols to complete winning combinations. Note: The Thunderstruck II Logo symbol and Bonus Hammer symbol do not appear on the reels during the Wild Storm bonus round. Wild Storm game wins are logged as achievements. Only one winning combination is paid out per pay way.

Example: During the Wild Storm bonus game, reels 2 and 3 are transformed into wild reels. Two King symbols are displayed on reels 1 and 4. They complete "4 Kings" combination. The wild reels act as substitute symbols to complete the 4 Kings combination.

Paytable Achievements
The Achievements feature helps you track your winnings status by highlighting symbol combinations that you have won. Once you have won all 3 combinations for a particular symbol, the symbol is highlighted in gold on the payout table. Achievements are logged during the regular slot game and the Wild Storm bonus round. The ultimate prize reserved for achieving every type of win in the slot game and turning the entire paytable gold.

Great Hall of Spins
3 or more Bonus Hammer symbols scattered anywhere on the reels activate the Great Hall of Spins bonus feature where you can win up to 25 free spins with up to 5x multipliers. The Great Hall of Spins has four types of free spin style bonus games. 3 of the 4 bonus games are locked. To unlock each additional bonus round, you must activate the Great Hall of Spins bonus game a specific number of times. When the bonus games are unlocked, you can choose to play any of the unlocked games. Unlocked bonus games are carried over to subsequent gaming sessions.

1. The Valkyrie bonus game: Permanently unlocked. Valkyrie, the Sheildman of Valhalla offers a grand 5x win multiplier during her 10 Free Spins. 3 bonus symbols will retrigger and award an additional 10 Free Spins.

2. The Loki bonus game: Unlocked after activating the bonus game 5 times. Loki, the God of Mischief, is unlocked on the 5th trigger and offers 15 Free Spins, with an elusive Wild Magic symbol on the centre reel (#3) which randomly transforms any of the other symbols into additional Wilds.

3. The Odin bonus game: Unlocked after activating the bonus game 10 times. Odin, the Ruler of Asgard, awards 20 Free Spins on the 10th trigger of the Bonus. During the feature, Odin sends out his ravens to randomly fly into symbols turning them to 2x and 3x Wild Multipliers. An impressive 6x Multiplier can be achieved if both birds chose the same symbol.

4. The Thor bonus game: The God of Thunder's chamber is unlocked after activating the bonus game 15 times. A thunderous 25 Free Spins awaits with the Rolling Reels (TM) feature allowing wins with up to a 5x Multiplier.

243 Ways To Win!
There are 243 possible ways to win on the Thunderstruck II slot machine and each winning way is dependent on the symbol combination displayed on the reels. Regular winning combinations pay out from left to right. 3 or more matching symbols must be displayed on consecutive reels, with the first symbol displaying on reel #1.

All pay ways are permanently enabled for every spin, so you cannot select or deselect pay ways. You are paid out for all winning combinations if they appear on multiple pay ways. The bet amount you choose is multiplied by a 30x bet multiplier per spin, for example, if you bet 3 coins, you are betting 3 coins x 30 bet multiplier = 90 coins bet per spin.

The Great Hall of Spins also has a gold status, achievable on the 20th trigger of the Bonus game. The slot's interface is turned completely gold. Roll in the thunder of lightning wins with the Thunderstruck II - a new triumphant video slot.
