Play Ways Of Thunder With Free Spins and No Deposit Bonus Codes

Ways of Thunder Gameplay

There are over two dozen Age of Gods slots in all, including a handful in the Age of Gods Norse spin-off series. Ways of Thunder is one of the latter. However, while some of the games in both franchises tend to be rather similar in terms of features and gameplay, Ways of Thunder is considerably set aside from those. It features five reels and anything from forty-five up to 3,125 ways to win, depending on which stage of the game you are playing.

Like all Age of Gods slots, Ways of Thunder runs on Playtech’s Age of Gods Norse Progressive Jackpot Network. This ensures that a couple of randomly triggered jackpot prizes (some of which are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars) are up for grabs.

An RTP rate of 96.61% can be expected in what is a medium-high variance slot. The first feature you’ll come across in this Norse mythology-themed slot is the Lightning Mode. You’ll start out with a 5×4 set of reels, but you’ll notice that a number of blocks are frozen. You’ve got forty-five lines to kick things off. As you win, those blocks will be released, unlocking more ways to win. As you unlock more blocks, the amount you can win also increases.

Starting with forty-five lines, you can win up to 72x your bet. However, if you chain together six wins in succession, you’ll end up playing with as many as 3,125 ways to win, and non-progressive prizes can top 5,000x a bet. A non-winning spin won’t see you return to the base game directly, either. You’ll merely drop down to the previous level. In short, you’ll have to lose five times (in a row) to revert to the forty-five payline setup. This is hugely different from the way these expanding paylines mechanics usually work and a real feather in Playtech’s cap.

Ways of Thunder Symbols

Instead of high playing card symbols, you’ve got runes. We’d expect nothing less from a Norse mythology-themed slot from such a renowned provider as this. However, those symbols pay a pittance compared to the more thematic symbols. Alongside the standard paying icons, you’ve also got a few special symbols.

Wild symbols appear as Mjölnir (Thor’s hammer). There’s nothing mystical about these symbols – they can replace all barring scatters.

Yggdrasil (the Tree of Life) is a bonus-triggering scatter symbol. Just two will unlock a few extra blocks. However, three or more will activate Thor’s Free Games. You’ll start with 8, 20 or 25 spins for three, four or five Yggdrasil icons. You can land an extra two spins for every two additional scatters you find in the bonus round and clear a few more blocks. The expanding paylines mechanic is also in play in this bonus round. It is worth noting that whatever level you attained (number of blocks you cleared) when you activated the free game feature will become your starting position for the free spin round.
