100 Spins of Thunderstruck

March 8, 2012

This is the fourth in our series of 100 spins analysis articles, and this week we are looking at our first progressive jackpot slot, Thunderstruck by Microgaming. We played Thunderstruck at All Slots Online Casino.

Being a progressive jackpot online slot, Thunderstruck is a little different. It is also a classic slot with just 9 pay lines and now graphical bonus features.

We started with a bankroll of 6,650 coins and we played all 9 pay lines at a coin size of 5, so this meant 45 coins wagered per spin.

Thunderstruck Wins

Being a progressive jackpot online slot, we cannot expect Thunderstruck to pay out significantly from either reel wins, or free spin wins, and this was certainly the case. We had only 26 small wins during our 100 spins. Some of these we decided to try and gamble up using the gamble feature. The player has four chances to guess if a flip of a card will be black or red (doubling the win each time it is guessed successfully) or which suit it will be (quadrupling the win). A single mistake loses the entire win.

Thunderstruck Wild Symbol

The symbol of the Norse god Thor acts as the wild symbols, and every win which is made up of one or more wild symbols is doubled. Unfortunately, Thor does not make an appearance very often.

Thunderstruck Free Spins

We didn’t manage to trigger the free spins feature during our 100 spins. However, it does look to be quite good. Named Scatter Rams, spinning in 3 or more ram symbols anywhere on the reels will trigger 15 free spins, with a variable multiplier of up to 5 times the win. However, we get the impression that this feature does not trigger often, and once again this is what we would expect from a tradition slot with a large progressive jackpot.

Thunderstruck Progressive Jackpot

Of course, most people laying a progressive jackpot are chasing that life changing multi-million dollar progressive jackpot win. The main consideration when plying this kind of slot is how long you can stay in the game without losing your bankroll. We ended with a total balance of 4,200 so this was a net loss of 2,450 coins. However, we were playing at max coin size which many progressive jackpot hunters do not do. So we are happy to say that at a lower coin size, Thunderstruck offers a good possibility to bag a big win.
