Thunder Reckoning Slot Review

About the Game

In the Thunder Strike video slot from PG Soft, you’ll have to split the sky with a thunderous win!
Thunder Reckoning is a 5×6 video slot featuring prize symbols of varying sizes: the larger the symbol, the higher the payout. During any spin, winning symbols activate the corresponding positions on the grid. If all positions are fully activated, they merge into a single 5×6 active zone, awarding a win of up to 5,000x the bet!

Summary

For a quick overview of the summary table, please refer to the table below.

On every spin, any combination of 8 or more identical symbols landing anywhere on the reels forms a winning combination. Winning combinations and payouts are determined according to the paytable. After the round’s winnings are paid out, all winning symbols disappear (explode), and the symbols above them drop down, triggering a new stage of the game. The process of counting additional winning combinations continues until no further combinations are formed. All winnings are displayed in monetary value.

Activating Symbol Positions

During any spin, all winning symbols activate their corresponding positions.
Upon the first activation, a symbol position is partially activated.

Upon a subsequent activation, the symbol position becomes fully activated.

• Adjacent fully activated positions (forming a 2×2 block) merge into a single fully activated 2×2 zone.
• Adjacent fully activated positions (forming a 3×3 block) merge into a single fully activated 3×3 zone.
• Adjacent fully activated positions (forming a 4×4 block) merge into a single fully activated 4×4 zone.
• Adjacent fully activated positions (forming a 5×5 block) merge into a single fully activated 5×5 zone.

If all symbol positions are fully activated, they merge into a single fully activated 5×6 zone.

Prize Symbols

After a spin in the base game, if no winning combinations remain on the grid but there is at least one fully activated symbol position, the “Prize Symbols Feature” is triggered.

During this feature, all fully activated symbol positions transform into prize symbols of the corresponding sizes.

• Single prize symbols award a win ranging from 0.25x to 1x the bet amount.
• 2×2 prize symbols award a win ranging from 5x to 10x the bet amount.
• 3×3 prize symbols award a win ranging from 20x to 200x the bet amount.
• 4×4 prize symbols award a win ranging from 50x to 500x the bet amount.
• 5×5 prize symbols award a win ranging from 200x to 1000x the bet amount.
• 5×6 prize symbols award a win ranging from 1000x to 5000x the bet amount.

Free Spins

Landing 3 Scatter symbols in any position triggers the Free Spins feature (10 spins).

Each additional Scatter symbol awards 2 extra free spins.

At the start of the Free Spins feature, all symbol positions switch to a partially activated state.
During the Free Spins feature, all partially or fully activated symbol positions retain their state until the feature ends.
Once the free spins conclude, the Prize Symbols feature is triggered. Free spins can be retriggered.

Information

In ages past, the God of Thunder wielded the Hammer of Storms and the Sacred Helm of Storms, maintaining the balance between heaven and earth. Each of these artifacts held half of his divine power. However, a fallen deity stole the sacred helm, stripping the god of part of his might and plunging the world into chaos.

As darkness spread and storms raged, he set out in search of the lost artifact. You, his loyal ally, must fight alongside him against the forces of darkness and discover the helm’s location. The threat is mounting, but will the sacred helm be recovered? The answer remains unknown.
