Thor: Hammer Time Slot from Nolimit City

Norse God Storms Online Casinos

Thor, the Norse god of Thunder, is storming online casinos once again, and this time it’s thanks to a new game from the development team at Nolimit City. The new title is Thor: Hammer Time, and that’s because it focuses on the blonde deity’s tendency to wield his mighty hammer whenever the opportunity arises. The game is bold, loud and action-packed, and serves as a fitting tribute to one of the most famous names in Norse mythology.

Highly Volatile for Bigger Wins

Thor: Hammer Time is a game which is at the higher end of the volatility spectrum, so you won’t win quite as often as you might with a medium or low volatility title, but when the wins do come you won’t fail to notice them. The game has five reels and three rows, all of which are framed by an ornamental iron frame. The reels themselves look like heavy slabs of stone, and symbols include a variety of runic letters, a helmet, an axe, a ring, a goblet, Thor’s hammer, a scatter, a wild and more.

Thor is a serious god who plays with thunder and lightning for fun, so the visuals in this slot are suitably sombre. The heavyweight symbols are very nicely designed, and satisfyingly realistic. Audio is just as impressive, and the cinematic soundtrack will have you sitting up straighter as you play, whilst the special effects that accompany wins and other important events will serve as your cue to celebrate.

This game is packed with features, and we’re not just talking about the main bonus game. Here are just some of the things you can look forward to…

Hammer Time Feature

This feature can be randomly triggered at any point, and when it happens all high-value symbols that are on the reels (namely the axe, goblet, helmet and ring) will be transformed into the even more valuable Thor’s Hammer.

Thor’s Lightning Bonus

A lightning bonus symbol appearing on the fifth reel will trigger Thor’s Lightning Bonus. This will give you one of three different features, which could be a multiplier, random sticky wilds or sticky wild reels. Thor nudges down with each spin and you will receive a respin as a result, and the Lightning Bonus feature will run for as long as Thor remains on the reels.

Rune Raze

This is another randomly-triggered feature, and when it is active it will transform all of the runic letters so that they are identical, which will obviously make it a good deal easier for you to land a win.

Scatter Energy Collect

When you get two or more scatter symbols, you will activate an Energy Collect feature. When this happens, the scatter symbols will nudge down one row and all reels without a scatter will respin. This will continue for as long as there are still scatters on the reels, and the aim is to collect the energy from three scatters to progress to Asgard Spins. Get more than three scatters and the number of free spins that you receive in Asgard Spins will be increased by two for each additional scatter.

Asgard Spins

When you have collected enough energy, the Asgard Spins round will begin, giving you free spins as described a moment ago. During this part of the game, the lightning bonus symbol on the fifth reel will appear more often, bringing you the same benefits that were mentioned earlier. However, here an additional feature will be awarded for each nudge, which means that you can have a number of different lightning features active at the same time until Thor vacates the reels altogether.

Big Wins Hit with the Force of Lightning

‘Being brought up in a small town with strong Viking heritage made this slot close to my heart, and to be honest, every slot provider needs a slot with a Viking theme!’ said Per Lindheimer, who is Product Owner at Nolimit City. ‘Thor: Hammer Time has one of the best KPI’s [Key Performance Indicators] for big wins but also amazing KPI’s for the hit frequency for these big wins – it is a volatile game, but you’ll see the big wins hit with the force of lightning more than once – that’s for sure!’

A Heavyweight Title for Slots Fans

Whilst this isn’t the only online slot which features the Norse god of thunder (consider other titles such as the classic Thunderstruck , Thunderstruck II, or the more recent movie-based games) this title is a welcome addition to the genre. Thor: Hammer Time is a game which is rich in atmosphere, great to look at and – most important of all – lots of fun to play. Its high volatility won’t suit everyone, but if you’re the kind of slot player who is more interested in winning big than winning often, it is well worth looking at.
