Theme, Gameplay, and Payouts
Thunderstruck Stormblitz is a video slot from Stormcraft Studios featuring 5 reels and 3 rows, with 30 paylines in the base game and 50 in the Free Spins. The game offers a Min.bet of 0.2 and a Max.bet of 25, and an RTP of 96.5%. The volatility is high, and the max win is capped at 10,000x the bet. Lastly, the hit frequency of 28.73% means that you score wins on more than every fourth spin, on average.
The game is set in the sky among white and dark clouds. An occasional lightning bolt moves across the screen as you spin the semi-transparent reels that cover parts of the clouds. To the left is a menu with bonus prizes and the number of spins awarded when the bonus game is triggered. There’s also dramatic church-like music to intensify the gaming experience. To make a win, you need to land at least 3 matching symbols on one of the paylines going left to right. All wins must start on the first reel to the left, and you can access the game on mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Thunderstruck Stormblitz are J, Q, K, and A written in runestone. They pay between 1x and 1.5x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. The higher-paying symbols include jars, balls, rings, horns, and treasure chests, which reward between 2x and 10x the bet for wins of 5. The Wild Symbol substitutes all symbols except the Bonus, Trigger, and Tower Multiplier Symbols.

What features are available in the slot Thunderstruck Stormblitz?
The features are Wild Collect Symbols, Trigger Symbol, Stormblitz Tower Feature, Stormblitz Tower Multiplier, Bonus Spins Feature, and Feature Buy.
Wild Collect Symbols
Collect Symbols act as Wild Symbols in the game. They can replace any other symbol to help form winning combinations, except for Bonus, Trigger, and Tower Multiplier symbols. Wild symbols appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, and they can land stacked to cover multiple positions on a reel.
Cash prizes are collected by the Cash Collect Symbol. Each Cash Collect symbol collects a cash prize from the Stormblitz Tower. These symbols also have a chance to upgrade into Jackpot Collect symbols, increasing their potential value.
Jackpot prizes are collected by the Jackpot Collect Symbol. This symbol always lands together with a Trigger symbol, which guarantees that a Jackpot prize is awarded. Each Jackpot Collect symbol collects one Jackpot prize from the Stormblitz Tower. These symbols can also collect the Bonus Spins prize when it is available.
Trigger Symbol
The Trigger symbol appears only on reel 1. In the base game, up to three Trigger symbols can land in a single spin. During the Bonus Spins Feature, up to five Trigger symbols can appear at once. Every Trigger symbol that lands activates all Collect symbols on that spin, allowing them to collect prizes from the tower.
Stormblitz Tower Feature
All prizes awarded by Collect symbols come from the Stormblitz Tower. The tower shows five Jackpots, six cash prizes, and the Bonus Spins prize. The number of prizes awarded depends on how many Trigger and Collect symbols land. Cash prizes range from 0.5x to 5x the bet, while Jackpot prizes range from 8x to 2,000x the bet. The Bonus Spins prize awards 8 Bonus Spins.
Stormblitz Tower Multiplier
The Tower Multiplier symbol can land on reel 1. When it appears, it increases the multiplier by 1x on a random number of prizes shown on the Stormblitz Tower. Multipliers can be applied to cash prizes, Jackpot prizes, or the Bonus Spins prize. Each tower prize can build up to a maximum multiplier of 5x.
When a prize is collected, the multiplier is applied to the cash or Jackpot amount. If the Bonus Spins prize has a multiplier, it applies to all line wins during the Bonus Spins Feature. In the base game, all prize multipliers reset after a Stormblitz Tower prize is awarded, and new multipliers can then be added again at random. During the Bonus Spins Feature, multipliers do not reset after prize awards. Stormblitz Tower multipliers carry over between the base game and the Bonus Spins Feature.
Bonus Spins Feature
Bonus symbols appear on reels 1, 3, and 5. They can land in both the base game and during the Bonus Spins Feature. Landing 3 Bonus symbols in the base game awards 8 Bonus Spins. During this feature, the reels expand to a 5x5 layout with 50 paylines. The Stormblitz Tower state from the base game remains active when the feature starts.
The Tower Multiplier symbol can still land and increase Stormblitz Tower prize multipliers during the feature, and these multipliers do not reset after cash or Jackpot prizes are awarded. Landing two Bonus symbols during the feature awards three extra spins, while landing three Bonus symbols awards eight extra spins. Bonus Spins play automatically using the same bet as the triggering spin. All wins are added to base game winnings, and when the feature ends, the Stormblitz Tower state transfers back to the base game.
Feature Buy
Activating this feature instantly awards 8 Bonus Spins, with +1 multipliers randomly applied to Stormblitz Tower prizes. Bonus Spins are awarded with a random multiplier range based on the selected purchase option.
You can buy the 8 Bonus Spins in three options with a 12x to 20x multiplier for 100x the bet, a 24x to 32x multiplier for 200x the bet, or a 40x to 48x multiplier for 300x the bet.
Final Thoughts on Thunderstruck Stormblitz
Thunderstruck Stormblitz is loud, flashy, and packed with enough features to make even Odin check the rulebook twice. In the stormy clouds of this game await the Stormblitz Tower, Collect symbols, multipliers, and expanding reels. It’s not a game for players who like calm, quiet spins and predictable results. This slot prefers drama and thunder.
The Viking theme does its job well, although the characters are very well-known by now among fans of the series, and we could have wished that something new had happened to Thor and Thyra. The slot looks good, but the background of the sky isn’t as intriguing as the backdrop of Asgard in Thunderstruck Stormchaser. With high volatility, wins can take their time, but when the tower starts handing out jackpots, things can get exciting very quickly.
Norse mythology is very popular in the slot world. If you want to get more of it, we can highly recommend games such as Yggdrasil’s giant battle 2 Gods Zeus Vs Thor or NetEnt’s amazing Hall of Gods.
Thunderstruck Stormblitz from Stormcraft Studios delivers a feature-heavy Viking adventure that rewards brave players who can handle the swings.
