Thunderstruck — slot review

One of Microgaming's first genuine video-slot smash hits, and the game that kicked off the whole Thunderstruck franchise. Nine paylines, Thor as a win-doubling wild, and the hammer Mjolnir acting as the scatter. Land three or more hammers and you trigger 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier, and the bonus can even retrigger mid-round. The mechanics are simple by today's standards, but that very simplicity and low volatility make it an easy, comfortable ride for newcomers and retro fans alike. Frequent small wins, that unmistakable early-2000s look, and pure nostalgia are the main reasons Thunderstruck is still on casino lobbies today.
