Hitting my inbox and hitting online casinos near you, 12 Bolts of Thunder is the latest slot release from the talented team at Thunderkick. This online slot is clearly themed on Thor’s magical hammer and the thunderbolts of lightning it can create. Strangely, Thor himself does not make an appearance; perhaps he is taking a few days off after yet another busy year featuring in countless online slot games. Whatever the reasoning behind his exclusion, let’s get down to the stats 12 Bolts of Thunder is a highly volatile 5-reel, 4-row, and 20-fixed payline slot that can deliver payouts of up to 30,000x the stake.
As for bonus features, the base game symbol payouts become a sideline in 12 Bolts of Thunder, as the focus is purely on the Hammer Wins feature. Your eyes will always stay on the three middle reels as this is where those symbols can land to give you wins of up to 1,000x the stake. Of course, those symbols offer vastly greater potential in the free spins bonus, where the win meter can be upgraded, allowing you to scoop that jackpot prize of 30,000x.
High variance slots with big potential rewards will not appeal to everyone, but at least you can try out free-play versions of them to determine if you’d risk your actual money playing them. You can do that for this slot here by playing the 12 Bolts of Thunder slot demo, available below.

12 Bolts Of Thunder Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Thor, the God of Thunder and his trusty Mjölnir (Hammer) have been the focus of many slot themes over the years, with it seemingly impossible to escape the guy; in all honesty, I don’t get the fascination, but I understand why developers use the theme when the movies repeatedly prove to be blockbusters. Just the other week, for example, I reviewed Mjolnir by JDB Gaming, whilst there are many different options available to players, too, such as Pragmatic Play’s Power of Thor Megaways slot and Thor 10k Ways from ReelPlay.
Anyway, let’s get back to 12 Bolts of Thunder, and its symbol pays – which I doubt you’ll have that much interest in when spinning the reels. Seriously, this slot is all about the Hammer Wins, but I’ll explain more about those later. Thunderkick has barely even put any effort into the symbols; they’re far from theme-related, let’s put it that way. Red Sevens pay 20x the stake for a winning combo of five, whilst the Bar, Bell, and Horseshoe are worth 15x, 10x, and 5x, respectively. As for the low-paying symbols, the Ace, King, Queen, and Jack will return 3x, 2.5x, 2x and 1.5x the stake, respectively, for a five of a kind win. The ‘W’ symbol is the 12 Bolts of Thunder Wild symbol, and it substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus and Hammer symbols.
Thunderkick sticks to their tried and tested bet size formula in their 12 Bolts of Thunder slot, with the minimum price to play starting at €0.10, with a good range of stakes then in place to choose from before hitting the max limit on the game of €100 per spin.
12 Bolts Of Thunder Slot Base Game
Symbol payouts in Thunderkick’s 12 Bolts of Thunder slot come your way when three or more matching symbols land on one of 20 active paylines from left to right across the 5×4 reel configuration.
Hammer Wins
Hammer symbols can appear on the three middle reels, and if at least four lands, you’ll win a payout. To the right of the reels, you’ll see a prize ladder that displays how much you’ll win for the number of Hammer symbols you land. At a minimum, you’ll win 2x your stake and, at the most, 1,000x in the base game. The full payouts range are 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 50x, 100x, 500x, and 1,000x for 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 hammer symbols, respectively.
12 Bolts Of Thunder Slot Bonus Features
There is one main bonus feature to activate in 12 Bolts of Thunder, and in return for 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols landing on the same spin, you receive 6, 9, or 12 free spins, respectively.
Free Spins Feature
Every time you secure a Hammer win during the free spins bonus, the prize ladder to the right of the reels levels up. That will increase the size of the multiplier wins possible for each Hammer win. If you reach level 5, the highest level, the multipliers available are 50x, 100x, 500x, 1,000x, 2,000x, 5,000x, 10,000x, 15,000x, and 30,000x for 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 hammer symbols respectively. Each Hammer win also rewards you with 3 additional free spins.
Bonus Buy
Buy Bonus features are hugely popular, which is why many slot developers implement them into their releases. On 12 Bolts of Thunder, you can purchase the Free Spins Bonus for 100x your current stake.
Pros
- A 30,000x potential max win is attractive.
- The Buy Bonus will appeal to those who like to take risks.
Cons
- The slot design is a tad lacklustre.
12 Bolts Of Thunder Slot Review Final Thoughts
The design of the slot leaves a little to be desired, but who really cares when you’re gunning for payouts of up to 30,000x the stake?
