Thunderhorn Slot Review
Thunderhorn is a 5-reel video slot that takes you to a hot savannah, home to rhinoceros, cheetahs and other exotic animals. The slot is based on a 5×4 reel layout and features 1024 ways to win instead of conventional paylines. Thunderhorn boasts of wild symbols that provide generous multipliers during free spins as well as a $9600 jackpot that will be won on hitting five scatters in any position. Bally aims its games to meet the requirements of heavy bettors and players on a budget alike and you are going to duly appreciate the wagering flexibility of the slot reviewed below.
The five reels of the game are set against a sherbet-colored savannah backstage with orange sunset and desert landscape all around. Aside from classic playing cards that are found in Bally’s slots more often than not, symbols reflect the theme greatly and are associated with African wildlife and native peoples. These include an ornate wooden plate (up to $2400), an intricate hand-made drum ($2400), a cheetah ($4000), an emerald-eye mask ($4000) and a galloping rhino ($4800). The win values specified in brackets above are for five of a kind, provided the maximum stake is placed.
If you don’t like risky gameplay, you can wager $0.40 – this is the lowest acceptable bet. To unleash the potential of the slot and go after high wins, you can wager up to $640 per spin.
As is evident from the foregoing, winnings for every single combination are not high, with the maximum regular win being just x7.5 times a total bet. The relatively small wins trade off against the combination frequency – almost every time the reels are spun and stop, you get more than one winning combo that can really boost your bankroll. Another characteristic that further contributes to winning chances is that all identical themed symbols pay out starting at two, for example, two rhinos award x1.25 a total bet. That allows for more winning combos to be completed on a single spin.
Wild symbol
The wild symbol is represented by a tree. It stops on the second, third and fourth reels only and substitutes for regular icons. Wilds cannot create their own payable combinations.
Scatter and free spins
A golden coin with “Bonus” on it is a special symbol that counts in any position. Should three or more land, you are awarded up to $9600 instantly and get 8, 15 or 20 free spins. This is allegedly the most profitable part of the game because the bonus spins come at no cost to you. Besides, they can continue over and over again because hitting 2 to 4 scatters during the features adds extra 5, 8 or 15 bonus spins to the remaining ones.
The wild Tree that has a kind of limited capabilities in the base game behaves in a more interesting way during free spins. Whenever it participates in a winning combination, all wins earned from that combo are multiplied by x2 or x3 selected randomly.
Summary
The 5-reel Thunderhorn features 1024 ways to win and a 5×4 board. Features are basic and include free spins and a wild that comes without multipliers in base game and with a x2–x3 multiplier in free spins. A huge max bet ($800) makes the slot ideal for high rollers.
