Reel Thunder is an early development of Microgaming released back in 1999. The slot, equipped with 5 reels and 9 adjustable paylines, has very few bonus features – just a wild and a scatter. However, its paytable is not bad and wins occur quite often, making your balance ticking over. The slot’s theme is devoted to a Roadhog who scorches his motor bike along endless American highways. Low/mid-paying symbols relate to roadside café snacks and include a sandwich, a beer mug, fried eggs and other food pics. These symbols award x6 to x600 and you need to hit at least three of them to get a win. Other regular symbols relate to driving, with the top award being x10,000 (or $20,000 at max). This jackpot prize is paid for landing five Roadhog symbols along a payline.

Betting options will be suitable for low rollers and casual players. Each of the nine paylines accepts a single coin and its denomination can be changed between $0.25 and $2, therefore, a total bet can be anywhere between $2.25 and $18 per spin.

Bonus features

There are two special symbols that add fun and diversity to the gameplay. These are a wild and scatter. Unfortunately, Reel Thunder lacks of free spins but this is not surprising, as the slot was published almost 20 years ago. The Winged Heart pic is the wild that acts as a substitute for regular icons. The wild cannot form its own winning combinations or multiply payouts.

All regular, non-feature pictures must be arranged on a payline from left to right to generate a win. The scatter (Bike Valves) pays in any position (on any reel and row) if 3+ of them land on the reels. The maximum possible prize of x50 times a total bet (up to $900) is awarded for five scatters.
