About Thunderstruck II

Thunderstruck II comes from the Games Global catalogue; it came out in 2010. Theme: Norse mythology. The grid is 5×3, and it pays by 243 ways. The provider lists an RTP of 96.65% and medium volatility with a maximum win of 8 000x the bet. These figures give a rough idea of the game's character, but a short session can go either way.

How it works

There are no fixed lines in Thunderstruck II. A symbol pays when it shows up on neighbouring reels starting from the left, in any row (243 ways).

On top of the base game, Thunderstruck II has Great Hall of Spins, Wildstorm. The trigger for the bonus round is listed in the paytable, usually a set number of scatters.

This is not the game itself but a simple maths model based on RTP and volatility. Each press gives a different result, and that spread is what volatility means.

Features

  • Great Hall of Spins
  • Wildstorm

How the features of Thunderstruck II work:

  • Free spins in Thunderstruck II start with scatter symbols and cost no bet, but their winnings go to the real balance. The bonus round is the game's main source of wins.
  • Thunderstruck II pays by ways, not lines: matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right are enough. In Megaways versions the number of ways changes every spin.
  • The wild in Thunderstruck II does more than substitute: it can stay in place, expand or carry a multiplier. Its role is biggest in the bonus round.

What to expect from the volatility

With Thunderstruck II the balance moves up and down at a moderate pace. Most sessions mix small base-game wins with the odd bigger bonus payout.

Bet by budget

How big a bet suits Thunderstruck II depends on the budget. With medium volatility we aim for about 150 bets per session:

BudgetSuggested betSpins/rounds
20 ₼0.10 ₼200
50 ₼0.30 ₼167
100 ₼0.50 ₼200
200 ₼1 ₼200
500 ₼3 ₼167

Playing Thunderstruck II with a bonus

Because it is a slot, Thunderstruck II normally counts in full towards bonus wagering. When playing with a bonus, watch the maximum bet limit, usually around 5 ₼. Offers with low wagering are compared on the bonuses page. Spin offers sorted by wagering: free spins.

Demo and real money: the difference

In demo mode Thunderstruck II runs on the same maths as the real game: RTP, volatility and features do not change. The difference is that you play with virtual credits and cannot withdraw winnings. The demo shows the pace of the game and how often the bonus comes, but a few hundred spins are not enough to predict a result.

Thunderstruck II on a phone

On a phone Thunderstruck II is the same as the desktop version: RTP, features and bet limits do not change. Only the interface differs. If the casino has an app, the game works there too, and you can try the demo on our page.

Common mistakes

What players often get wrong in Thunderstruck II:

  • A bet too large for the budget: high volatility needs a reserve of 100-200 spins.
  • Treating bonus buy like a normal spin: one buy costs dozens of bets.
  • Running autoplay without limits: set a loss limit and a number of spins.
  • Not checking the casino's RTP version: one game can have several RTP variants.
