Theme
With echoing thunder-strikes and a rather emotional piece playing on repeat, the game quite literally gives you a sense of "the calm before the storm".
Dark, thunderous clouds can be seen in the background of the wooden-framed game window. Two lights from oil lamps is intermittently interrupted by violent lightning strikes as the flying ship is approaching the storm.
The three adventurers feature prominently on the reels together with some typical ship props.
Betting Options
Riders of the Storm is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 243 ways to win. Pays are awarded for three to five matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right.
Ride through the thunderous clouds on desktop, mobile or tablet from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin. The game has medium to high volatility with an RTP from 96.14% to 96.15%, based on which free spins round is chosen.
Now, let’s check the paytable!
Eloquently crafted card royals from NINE through to Ace feature at the low end of the paytable. Thus, NINE, TEN, and Jack icons are worth between 0.2x and 2x your wager, while Kings and Queens deliver between 0.3x and 3x your stake for three to five of the kind combination of identical characters.
Finally…
...Aces offer the payout between 0.4x and 4x your bet.
They are followed by a Hook, which pays between 0.6x and 6x your wager; an Anchor - worth between 0.7x and 7x; and a Ship Steering Wheel at the medium level, paying 0.8x to 8x your bet when three to five land across the reels.
The premium symbols are…
...the Ship’s Mechanic, which offers between 1x and 10x; a Female with a Harpoon - 1.5x and 12.5x your bet. The Ship’s Captain is the highest paying icons, which brings between 2x and 15x your wager.
In addition...
... an intricate icon marked with the word itself is the Wild symbol, substituting for all regular images and appearing on all reels with an x1, x2, x3, x4 or x5 multiplier.
More than one multiplier Wild in a winning combo are not added or multiplied by each other. The multiplier is only applied to the wins containing a multiplier wild. A Compass acts as the Scatter with minimum three needed to trigger the Bonus Round.
Special Features
Thunderkick went all out on this game and has given it not just a sky-high win potential but also packed it to the brim with random and bonus features.
So, buckle up for a volatile ride as the storm approaches and the features are triggered.
On any spin in the base game…
...you could see up to four reels lighting up, announcing the trigger of the random Mystery Wild Reels feature. Each highlighted reel will turn into a stacked wild reel for the current spin.
But wait, there is more!
Landing three or more compass scatters in one spin will trigger the Bonus Game Selector with four free spins mode, each featuring a stacked premium or wild symbol, a fixed multiplier wild and a walking wild feature.
Plus...
...you will get a coin win of 2x, 20x and 200x your bet for three, four and five scatters respectively.
The game will lead to a second screen, displaying the four options. You are free to select any of them on each trigger. They have varying volatility, so choose wisely.
Yet again, multiplier wilds apply only when they are part of a winning combo.
- Option 1 | Ship Mechanic is stacked – Low Volatility: Triggers 15 free spins with x2 multiplier wilds.
- Option 2 | Green Lady is stacked – Medium Volatility: Triggers 10 free spins with x3 multiplier wilds.
- Option 3 | Ship Captain is stacked – High Volatility: Unlocks 6 free spins with x5 multiplier wilds.
- Option 4 | Mystery Choice – Random Volatility: The game will randomly select a volatility, the number of free spins, the wild multiplier and the stacked symbol, which can be either of the three characters or the wild symbol.
During the feature, three or more Scatters landing on a free spin will retrigger a random number of free spins…
...three, five, seven, nine, eleven or thirteen extra spins, up to three times. The Scatters are removed from the reels after the third retrigger.
And that’s not all…
...as any Wild landing on a free spin will trigger the Walking Wild Respin feature. The reels will respin with the wild moving one reel to the left until all in view disappear from the screen. The number of free spins is not reduced during the respins. No new Walking Wilds will appear in one respin sequence after four new walking wilds landed in the current sequence.
Our Take
Well, it looks like the team at Thunderkick didn’t go for a breezy and light game in the summer holiday period. Instead, they packed it full of features and a mega win potential in the free spins exceeding 26,000x your bet.
