The controls on the screen allow you to spin the reels, use autoplay, increase the spin speed, toggle the audio, and open the menu.
The paytable features symbols with an ancient Nordic Feel. The lower-paying symbols are card royals carved into stones. 9 and 10 pay 1x your bet for five on a payline, J and Q pay 1.2x, while K and A pay 1.4x.
The higher-value symbols are mystical stones and Thor himself. The purple and blue stones pay 2x your bet for five on a payline, the red and green stones pay 2.5x, and Thor pays 5x.
The wild symbol helps form winning combinations by substituting for all other symbols except the scatter, Cash, and Collect symbols.
To win in Thunderstruck Gold Blitz Extreme, you must land three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, following one of the 4096 ways-to-win patterns.
The Collect feature involves special Cash symbols with random prize values that can appear on the reels during the base game and the Gold Blitz feature. Collect symbols can land on reels 1 and 6, while Cash symbols can appear on any reel. This feature is triggered when a Collect symbol and one or more Cash symbols land simultaneously. When this happens, each Collect symbol gathers the values of all the Cash symbols on the reels.
In the base game, Cash symbols can range from 0.2x to 20x your bet. However, these values can exceed 100 times the bet during the Gold Blitz feature.Cash and Collect symbols do not appear during the Free Spins round.
If Collect symbols land on reels 1 and 6, but no Cash symbols appear, and the Bonus Choice isn't triggered, you will get one free respin. During this respin, reels 1 and 6 are locked in place while reels 2 - 5 spin again, with only Cash symbols and blank spaces. At least one Cash symbol is guaranteed to land during this feature.
The Bonus Multiplier is a unique feature displayed in the Bonus Multiplier meter in the top left corner of the screen. This multiplier applies to every Free Spins and Gold Blitz feature win. In the base game, the multiplier increases by 0.5x whenever 2 Bonus Scatters landon reels 1 - 5, as long as the Bonus Choice isn't triggered. The Bonus Multiplier can go as high as 5x.
The multiplier resets to 1x after the Free Spins or Gold Blitz features, but it can randomly increase by 0.5x or 1x when you return to the base game.
When a Cash symbol lands without a Collect symbol, a unique token will be collected in the pot next to the reels. Each time a token is collected, 1 to 4 of the fixed jackpot values will increase by 0.1x to 1x your bet, and you could also randomly trigger the jackpot bonus. When the jackpot feature is triggered, you can win 8 to 18 cash prizes worth 0.2x to 20x your bet and up to 4 jackpot prizes. Each Jackpot can be awarded multiple times.
When you win a jackpot, it will reset to its starting value. This feature cannot be triggered during the Respin feature or simultaneously with the Bonus Choice.
When you land three or more Scatter symbols on the same spin, you can choose between two bonus options: Free Spins or Gold Blitz.
For three scatters, you win 8 Free Spins or 2 Gold Blitz spins; 4 scatters get you the option of 12 Free Spins or 3 Gold Blitz spins. With five scatters, it's 20 Free Spins or 5 Gold Blitz spins, and with six scatters, you receive 30 Free Spins or 7 Gold Blitz spins.
During the Free Spins feature, every wild symbol part of a winning combination will be multiplied by 2x, 3x, or 5x. The Bonus Multiplier will also multiply the total win of each spin, and you can retrigger up to 30 Free Spins by landing more scatters.
If you choose the Gold Blitz feature, a unique grid appears where only Collect, Collect Retrigger, Retrigger, and Cash symbols appear, while all other reel positions remain blank.
A Collect symbol is guaranteed to land on reel one during every spin to collect all Cash symbols. The Collect Retrigger symbol on reel six can collect and award all Cash symbols in view plus an extra Gold Blitz spin. The Bonus Multiplier also applies to the total win of each spin.
The Bonus Buy option instantly activates the Free Spins or Gold Blitz features. You can buy 8 Free Spins or 2 Gold Blitz spins for 30x your bet, 12 Free Spins or 3 Gold Blitz spins for 50x, 20 Free Spins or 5 Gold Blitz spins for 80x, and 30 Free Spins or 7 Gold Blitz spins for 120x your bet.
The potential maximum win in Thunderstruck Gold Blitz Extreme is 5,500x your bet.
The RTP of Thunderstruck Gold Blitz Extreme is 96.00% in the base game, which increases to 96.25% with the Bonus Buy feature. RTP (Return to Player) is a theoretical percentage of all player bets placed on the game that is likely to return over time. The game has high volatility, meaning more significant wins are possible but less frequent.

The Thunderstruck slot series by Games Global has been a runaway success with multiple sequels and special editions that show off increasingly impressive bonus features, jackpots, and graphics. Let’s compare a few of the better-known titles in this series and see how they stack up against each other.
The original Thunderstruck is a simple but hard-hitting slot that includes a free spin round with multipliers. Thunderstruck 2 is a fierce follow-up that ups the ante with wild reels and four free spins options.
