Thunderbird

Deep in the forests of North America, where the time stands still and the past is present, the Thunderbird rises, bringing storm and rain. Inspired by the mythical creature of Native American heritage, Rival Powered has revived the ancient spirit of the thunder carrier and brought the legend back to us through their 3 rows and 5 reels video slot release. Except that this time the flapping of the Thunderbird’s wings does not generate thunders, but Free spins, multipliers and Super Spirit Bonus round with expanding Wilds.

There are 50 adjustable paylines in Thunderbird slot, with red arrows placed on the left side of the screen, serving as a navigation tool for optimising the number of active lines. Another way of selecting the number of active lines is through “Select lines” red tab. The winning combinations are the ones formed out of the matching symbols on active lines, from left to right. Increasing the chances of winning is the Wild icon, that can replace any other symbol but the Scatter. When a special set of Green and Red Fish symbols land the reels, bonus features will be unlocked. Continuous spins can be set up through AutoPlay tab. However, this option is not available in free play mode and can only be activated when you submit a real money bet.

The number of coins you wish to bet on a single line can range from 1 to 10. It is even possible to play on a single line only, with one coin as a total stake, making the minimum bet $0.01. The highest level stake is reached when all 50 lines are activated and coin value set to $0.25. With 10 coins selected as a line wager, the maximum bet is capped at $125. Another way to place your bets is through the Max Bet tab. The highest payout that the player can expect out of a single combination comes from the Snake symbol combo, worth up to 2000 coins. Medium value icons can cash out 200 to 600 coins, while standard set of symbols can pay from 5 to 150 coins. With all lines active, the potential payout can reach 100,000 coins, placing the game under medium to low variance category, with 96.3% theoretical return to player.

Symbols having medium value are The Drum, Pine corn and The Hat. In terms of value, they are closely followed by the standard set of symbols, A, K, Q, J and number 10. Three Feathers icon and The Mask have a much higher coin value -1000 and 1500. Thunderbird itself is the Wild of the game, replacing all other icons in the symbol formation. At the same time, this icon acts as a 2x multiplier and has the added value of becoming the Expanding Wild within the bonus round. When the Free Spins are triggered, Thunderbird spreads across the first, second, third and fourth reel, forming new winning combinations wherever possible. Scatter wins are excluded from this. There are two Scatter symbols activating extra spins bonus features. Red Fish can appear anywhere on the reels and award 10, 20 and 50 additional spins, depending on whether the combination was formed by 3, 4 or 5 Scatters. The second Scatter, Green Fish, can land during Free spins only and unlock Super Spirit Round. Five Super Spirit spins will then start, with reel one containing expanding Wild for as long as the bonus round is active. The game is also mobile device optimised and you can play it on your Windows, MAC or Android phone or tablet.
