There are hundreds of different variations of slot machines out there today. Most of them are pretty much the same, but with different appearances. Thunderstruck II video slot is a very new slot machine just recently announced.
Its maker, Microgaming, announced the release of this slot in January 2010, at the ICE show in London. Thunderstruck II was officially launched on May 4th, 2010.
Its predecessor, Thunderstruck, is one of the most popular video slot variations of all time.
Overview of the slot
It’s available for play at almost every online casino out there, and its great graphics and fun bonuses make it very fun. Thunderstruck II video slot is even better. The graphics are similar, but definitely improved, as are the sounds.
Some people have said that the graphics look more similar to the Tombraider 2 slot than the first version of Thunderstruck, but either way, they’re great. There are also an amazing 243 paylines on Thunderstruck II.
Most slot games have some bonuses, bonus rounds, free spins, etc. but few compare to the bonuses offered by Thunderstruck II.
What you should expect from the game
To start with, you can get up to a 6x multiplier with Thunderstruck II. You can also get up to 25 free spins when you get a good multiplier going.
There are a total of 4 different free spin bonus rounds, each of which lasts for quite a while. There are also random Wildstorms, which are basically wild cards thrown into the stacks at random times. These help you win much more often than in Thunderstruck I, or any other slot game for that matter.
Contrary to what you might think, Thunderstruck II is very different from the original. Besides the visual differences, the way Thunderstruck 2 is played is very different.
Generally speaking, Thunderstruck II is a lower-risk game. In the original, there were a lot of chances to win big, but also to lose big. If you have a high risk tolerance and are someone who likes to win big and doesn’t mind risking a lot, then Thunderstruck 1 is probably better for you.
If you’re just trying to have a good time and maybe break even or get close, then the second version is for you.
My opinion
Thunderstruck II is a more enjoyable game for most people, and your bankroll will last a lot longer usually. However, very rarely will you win big with the new version of the game.
Personally, I like both versions of the game about the same. I like to mix them, play a little of each and switch off every once in a while.
Thunderstruck II is more fast paced, and you win more times, but there’s not so much of a chance to win big as there was in the original. The original Thunderstruck is rather slow at times, and often you’ll play for hours without anything exciting happening, however, when you do win with the original game, you win big!
