About

Thunderstruck® Wild Lightning

Features
Read full description

A selectable playlist of 5 tracks is available in the base game to create a more customized gaming experience. Join Thor, the new ascended ruler of Asgard, on an epic quest to retrieve the lost World Stones. This 40-line game journey is filled with collection challenges, feature chases, amazing multipliers, and bonus jackpots. Thor is Wild and when substituting can award a 2x or a 5x multiplier to help boost the win potential. Thor’s mighty Hammer is the Scatter and awards entry to the feature selection screen where 5 Free Spin destinations are available to unlock. The electric blue Thunderball symbols scattered across the reels provide clues to the location of the main event, where an impressive jackpot prize of over 15 000x is waiting to be won in the Link&Win™ bonus feature. The Link&Win™ feature is activated by landing 6 or more Thunderballs anywhere on the 5x4 reel array. These electrifying symbols contain cash values which accumulate and contribute to the wins during the bonus feature. On activation of the Link&Win™ bonus, Thor will expand the reels to a 5x8 array, but these additional four rows will need to be unlocked by collecting enough Thunderballs during the feature. The mechanic of the feature has become a well-known industry standard whereby additional cash value symbols need to be collected in order to reset the spins and continue with the Link&Win™ journey. The locked rows contain larger cash rewards as well as the elusive Jackpot prizes; seeing them land behind the screen emphasizes the win potential of the game and adds huge anticipation to the experience. The ultimate goal of winning the 15 000x Mega Jackpot is achieved by opening all the locked rows and filling all the positions on the reels with Thunderballs.
