The thruth is that the Thunderstruck 2 slot machine game has almost everything casino players have been begging to see for several years, and to summarize it all in a few lines is both crazy and messy.

Downloading and Playing Thunderstruck 2 - The "King" of free spins

Because Thunderstruck 2 is packed with free spin features and unique options, the game size is much larger than traditional flash based slot machines. This means that new players will need to wait for a short time while the game downloads before they can play it the first time.

The waiting time is well worth it, and is only needed the first time you want to play.


Note thay you don't need to install anything in order to play the Lord of the Rings flash slot machine, - but you need to have the flash file downloaded before you can enjoy it via your browser.


This is done completely automatic and just take a little longer than with traditional flash slots games.

When the slot machine download has completed, players are shown a short intro animation (that can be skipped) before the king of free spins reveal itself.

The first thing players will note is that a small help screen is open allready with information about something brand new called "Paytable Achievements".

Paytable Achievements are new and fun ways for players to keep track of their wins with the slot machine game, it has no impact on your prizes at all but offer a nice and smooth new way to keep track of winning combinations.

Once you close the new feature help window, the basic slot machine controls are available for players to use. You can spin the reels right away, change the bet size and coin amounts or change the game-mode from Classic (beginners) to Expert (advanced).

Playing in expert mode is highly recommended because of the AutoPlay option that can be used in expert mode.

You can setup the AutoPlay in expert mode by clicking on the AutoPlay button and configuring the amount of spins you want the slot machine to play in a row, and by setting a Stop amount.

The amount you enter in the Stop field is a value that your wins are compared against after each spin. If a spin result in a win equal to, - or higher than this value, the AutoPlay stops.

Thunderstruck 2 - Paytable and feature options

If you are new to slot machine games, - or if you havent played Thunderstruck 2 before, then the first thing you should do before betting is checking out the Paytable pages.

The pages can be accessed by clicking on the "Paytable" button and will explain how the many game features work and how the slot machine pays out.


The Thunderstruck 2 paytable option has 4 pages that each explain how different parts of the slot machine work.

The first page is a general information page that explain how The Great Hall of Spins bonus feature is awarded, - this is the main bonus feature from where players can launch up to 4 other unique free spin bonus features.

The page also explain that the Thunderstruck 2 logo symbol is wild and substitute for all non bonus symbols and that all wins where it substitute are doubled.


Lastly players can read that the Thunderstruck 2 slot machine has one additional randomly awarded bonus feature called "Wildstorm". The Wildstorm feature can happen at any time and turn a random number of reels into wildsymbols!

The second page is a free spin bonus feature information page that explain how and when the Valkyrie and Loki variants of free spins can be played.

The Valkyrie free spin bonus is the first players can enjoy, 10 free games are awarded with all prizes multiplied by 5. When players have had 5 or more free spin bonuses in total the Loki feature become available.


During the Loki free spins, magic may twist symbols causing extra wilds to appear during the 15 free gamesthis free spin bonus feature lasts.

The theird page is another free spin bonus feature information page that explain how and when the Odin and Thor variants of free spins can be played.

The Odin free spin bonus is available when players have enjoyed 10 or more free games in total. When playing the Odin free spins bonus feature, players enjoy 20 free spins that are played with the "Wild Raven Feature".


Odins two Raven birds appear above the slot machine reels and may land to convert any symbols into a wild 2X multiplier symbol or a wild 3X multiplier symbol.

If both ravens land, players get two extra wild symbols and cash in on prizes that are multiplied by 6!

The Thor free spin bonus is that last one to become available via The Great Hall of Spins.

The fourth and last page in the Paytable system is a page where you can see how much the slot machine pay out (in coins) when a given amount of symbols of the same kind appear from left to right on the game reels.

The paytable page is also used to keep track of the Achievements, whenever you land a combination on the game reels for the first time, that combination (an amont of a given symbol) is shown with a golden color.

Playing Thunderstruck 2

Now that the slot machine basics have been covered, it is time to take the "King of free spins" for a ride!
When you spin the Thunderstruck 2 slot machine, you are bound to note pretty fast that winning combinations appear much more frequent than with traditional video slot machine games.

This is because the Thunderstruck 2 slot machine use the Ways Pays system and not normal slot machine paylines.

With Ways Pays, prizes are won each time symbols appear from left to right on the game reels, the actual position on each real does not matter.

With substituting wild symbols (or even entire reels), this means that there are 243 different ways you can win after each spin, - and also that you can win with the same symbols more than one time with each spin.

Ways Pays payout screenshots and more payouts with the same symbols

If you take a close look at the two screenshots above, you will see that the first has a K symbol on each of the first four reels, and a wild symbol at the top of the fifth reel.

That spin resulted in a payout for 5 K symbols because they appeared on each reel all the way from left to right.

The second screenshot show one of the many reasons why the Ways Pays system is popular amongst players.

The screenshot shows an A symbol on each of the five slot machine reels, now this obviously result in a payout for 5 A symbols... But it gets better!

Because the first reel has a wild symbol, it counts as if you have another A symbol there as well granting you another combination with 5 A symbols in a row.

To make things even more enjoyable, the wild symbol double your wins!




Completing the Paytable Achievements
Each time you spin the Thunderstruck 2 slot machine reels, - and win a prize with the resulting symbol positions, you may complete one or more of the Paytable Achievements.

When you have had every possibly combination with any single symbol (without using wild symbols), the Achievement is considered completed and a small message is shown during play.

If you look closer at the three Achievement Completion screenshots above, you will note that the middle screenshot looks different than the others.

- It has a golden "Big Win" box at the bottom right corner!

With the Thunderstruck 2 slot machine, Big Wins are triggered relatively often (this is of course also a luck thing!) because of the Ways Pays system.

In the middle screenshot above, prizes were won for a 5 K combination several times because two of the reels had both a K symbol and a Wild symbol. Several top end payouts and a double-up bonus for the wild symbols result in great payouts!

Check out some of the other Big Wins from the base play of the Thunderstruck 2 slot machine below:

Thunderstruck 2 Free Spins
Now that we have had a look at some of the base game features, it is time to dig deeper into the really interesting part of the Thunderstruck 2 slot machine - the free spins!

With Thunderstruck 2, free spins are awarded when three or more scatter bonus symbols appear anywhere on the slot machine reels. When this happen, the Great Hall of Spins feature is started.

During the Great Hall of Spins, players can select from up to 4 different free spin bonus games depending on how far they have progressed thru the Great Hall of Spins.

Each time 5 free spin bonus games have been completed, a new free spins bonus feature become available.

The first free spins bonus feature that players can (or rather, - must) select is the Valkyrie Free Spins bonus.



Thunderstruck 2 - Valkyrie Free Spins
The Valkyrie free spins bonus award 10 free spins that are played with a 5X multiplier. This means that you can enjoy 10 spins with no cost where everything you win is multiplied by 5.

The Valkyrie free spins are extremely popular, - also among players that have progressed further in the Great Hall of Spins.

The amazing 5X guarantee multiplier means that if you win something good, - it will be unforgettable!
A personal example from a real cash session with the Thunderstruck 2 Valkyrie free spins can be seen via the screenshots here. 4 Wild symbols and a 5X multiplier turned this single spin into one of my all time favorites!

Thunderstruck 2 - Loki Free Spins
The Loki free spins bonus award 15 free spins that are played with a unique wild symbol on the theird slot machine reel called Wild Magic.

Each time the unique Wild Magic symbol appear during one of the Loki free spins, it will target and zap up to 4 of the existing symbols into Wild Magic symbols that substitute for all normal symbols.

As an extra feature, players can win more free spins during the Loki free spins bonus when 2, 3, 4 or 5 Scatter Bonus symbols appear.

Players win an additional 1, 2, 3 or 4 free spins when the scatter bonus symbols appear.

The Loki Free Spins bonus feature is really wild and random unlike any other free spin bonus you will see online. You never know how many free spins you will end up playing or how many wild symbols you will get extra.

Extremely unlucky players may never see the Wild Magic bonus symbol that multiply and may never win extra free spins. Extremely Lucky players can enjoy a free spin bonus round that lasts for a very long time with an abundance of wild symbols.

Thunderstruck 2 - Odin Free Spins
The Odin free spins bonus award 20 free spins that are played with a special random multiplier feature called "Wild Ravens". After each of the free spins during the Odin bonus feature, there is a chance to trigger the "Wild Raven Feature".

If triggered, one or two ravens will land on a slotmachine symbol and convert it into a 2X or 3X multiplier.
If both ravens land, a total multiplier of 6X is awrded for the free spin.

The multiplier indicate a value that your free spin wins are multiplied with, so cross you fingers for a double raven multiplier when you get a high paying free spin!

Thunderstruck 2 - Thor Free Spins
The Thor free spins bonus award 25 free spins that are played with the insanely popular free spin variant called Rolling Reels.

Rolling Reels was introduced with the Tomb Raider 2 - Secrets of the Sword slot machine that appear to be a constant favorite amongst slot machine players.

Rolling Reels is a system very similar to what many allready know from games such as Bejeweled. When a symbol is used for a payout it is removed, symbols above if fall down, - and new ones are added on top.

With the Thunderstruck 2 free spins, each time new symbols are added, players are rewarded with an increased multiplier ( up to 5x ).

When no more winning combinations are available, the multiplier reset to 1, and a new spin is played.

Check out the free spin screenshots below to see an example of the rolling reels free spins from the starting 1X to a 5X multiplier.
