Thunder Screech is five reel slot that carries a North American wild theme. It all centres around a thunderbird, which is a legendary creature with the look of an eagle in native North American culture that carries great powers. In Thunder Screech you’ll see it circling the reels and at times swooping down to reward you with a prize. Play’n Go is the casino software studio that developed Thunder Screech, and we must say that they’ve been busy in the online casino games department lately, having just released both Reactoonz 2 and Lord Merlin and the Lady of the Lake. Unlike the other two releases, the reel set here is quite basic with only ten paylines.
It looks from the outside that quite a few bonus features have been packed into Thunder Screech. There is a medium volatility which means wins won’t be too elusive through the play. If you’re wondering how much you can potentially win on a single spin, Play’n Go have set the maximum win amount at 5,000x your bet. This isn’t bad at all, so it’s up to you how much you’re willing to wager in order to get the returns you want. The minimum bet is 10p while the maximum bet stands at £100 per spin.
The Thunderbird is joined by quite a few of his friends from the North American wild. There’s a beaver, an otter, a badger, a coyote and a crow serving as the medium paying symbols, with the crow being the highest in value. The lower paying icons are very standard and are made up of playing cards 10, J, Q, K and A.
There are two wild symbols in Thunder Screech, being the Wild and the Thunder Wild. Both act as any regular icon in the game to make up a winning payline, and instead of there being a scatter symbol, the Thunder Wild also carries another function.
There are random features in Thunder Screech which always makes playing a slot feel so much more rewarding. However, this one has 2! The first is the Call Feature. It sees the Thunderbird swoop down on the reels and add 5 – 9 wilds onto the reels for a big win. The other random feature is the Strike Feature. In this one wilds are upgraded to Thunder Wilds, which triggers respins. The thunder wild will carry a multiplier and also remains on the reels until its multiplier reaches 3x.
Should you manage three thunder wilds on the same spin, then you’ll be awarded five free spins. This might seem like few spins for this feature, but there are thunder wilds on the reels during the spins to apply multipliers. This is in addition to respins, due to the presence of thunder wilds.
Some players might prefer the more conventional approach to a free spins feature. However, they’ll have to admit that two random features are quite a treat. Thunder Screech might not have the massive paying potential of the more established online slots on the market, but there are enough features to see consistent wins roll in. Why not try the game in free slots mode first, and then dive bomb the reels for your real money wins.
