Thor’s Lightning

Red Tiger are back with a brand new title, and this one is sure to electrify even the most discerning of online slots players. Thor’s Lightning online slot is the latest creation Red Tiger Gaming has developed, and judging by the previous hits in their stable such as Vicky Ventura and Piggy Pirates, we are sure this one will be right up there with the others. PartyCasino went behind the scenes with Thor and his mighty hammer to get a closer look at this cluster paying title.

The intro video shows Thor receiving a bolt of lightning from the skies above, and from this it’s clear to see the might of the graphics Red Tiger is producing. The reels sit on a snowy background where Norse icons can be seen on floating rocks. Speaking of the reels, they are on a 7×7 layout, but instead of spinning the symbols fall into the pay table and award payouts based on cluster combinations. At times Thor will randomly appear, throwing his hammer to knock away lower paying symbols to be replaced with potentially higher paying ones. Thor also likes to appear receiving an epic bolt of lightning to his hammer and blasting the reels to remove various low paying symbols to be replaced, hopefully, with high value ones.

At the time of this review the game had yet to be released, and therefore the RTP ratio could not be determined, but Red Tiger announced that a maximum jackpot of 1800x your wager was to be implemented. With the maximum wagering amount set at £40 per bet you’re looking at a jackpot of £72,000.00. There are bigger jackpots out there, but should anyone swoop in like Thor and claim this prize it could prove a life changer.

Thor’s Lightning online slot is of medium variance, so you’ll find the wins easier to come by than is usual. Players who have fully converted to mobile will find the experience smooth and crystal clear on their device.

Feature Symbols

The symbols are all based on the theme of the game. The lower paying symbols are Norse icons, synonymous with Viking culture. The highest paying of these is the yellow one. Land 30 or more in the table and you’ll get 25x your bet. The higher paying symbols are animated, and consist of a bird, a beast, a tree and, the highest paying of all symbols, Thor’s hammer. Land 40 or more of the big guy’s weapon and you’ll get 500x your bet.

Make sure to look out for the wild symbol. It doesn’t present itself too often, but substitutes all symbols to create winning clusters.

Bonuses and Jackpots

One of the first things players notice when looking at the reels is a large free spins sign located right in the middle. This square sign is covered in tough concrete, and the aim is to land winning clusters around the sign to break bits of the concrete away. Once all the concrete is broken off the Free Spins sign you will have unlocked the free spins feature.

There are 2 free spins features that can be unlocked. They are as follows:

Muspell Spins

Players will be awarded a number of free spins. The spins will contain only high paying symbols, and will also be influenced by a lava feature. The lava has the ability to destroy symbols and add wild symbols to the reels. It can also add the same symbol on an area of the reels.

Valhalla Spins

In this feature you will get a set number of spins, however the only symbols that will fall are golden shields. Depending on the combinations of the shields you will receive smashing multipliers at the end of the free spins.

Play Thor’s Lightning Slot at PartyCasino

There are quite a few Norse themed titles on the market. Microgaming’s Thunderstruck and NetEnt’s Vikings are in this category and very accomplished. This game differs in that it uses the cluster pays method, plus it doesn’t use scatter symbols to trigger free spins. Players might find the method of accessing the free spins quite frustrating at first, but the features, once accessed, are epic in their payouts to say the least. Thor is back in the online slots scene with a bang, and this interactive, high paying title is a game worthy of his name.
