Game Overview
Reviewing online slots takes me to all kinds of places. One minute, I could review a video slot themed on demons, and the next, I’m writing about candy and ice cream slot symbols. Today, I find myself somewhere between the two with this review of the Mjolnir slot from JDB Gaming. So, can we expect thunderous bonus features and electrifying payouts? We’re about to find out as I take this 5-reel, 3-row, 243 ways-to-win medium variance slot with a 2,000x top win through its paces.
The base game offers some small levels of entertainment as you spin away frantically, hoping to trigger that elusive free spins bonus, and that is mainly down to the lightning wilds feature that converts reels into stacks of wild symbols, giving you a decent chance to hit a substantial win. As for the main bonus game, this is a free spins round with a multiplier that can reach as high as 8x the stake if you continue to hit winning combinations in one series of spins.
Sometimes, it’s best to test out a slot for yourself rather than reading other people’s opinions. What one person might like might prove the opposite for another and vice versa. The good news is you can utilise our Mjolnir slot demo to spin for free blow. Additionally, JDB Gaming slot demos allow you to trigger the main bonus features by clicking the ‘Feature box at the top left of the screen.
Mjolnir Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
While there are plenty of Thor or Norse God-themed slots around, I cannot think of any focusing purely on Thors Mjolnir. Then again, you cannot have one without the other, so you could call this a Thor-themed slot. If this theme floats your boat, you could check other slots themed on the God of Thunder, such as Power of Thor Megaways from Pragmatic Play, which offers 117,649 payways and a free spins bonus with a progressive global multiplier. Other entertaining options include Thor 10k Ways from ReelPlay and 4ThePlayer’s 21 Thor Lightning Ways.
As you can see, Mjolnir has quite the competition, but can it prove as good as the titles I mentioned? Well, let’s start by analysing the combination payouts available. Thor represents the top-paying symbol on the reels of Mjolnir, and five instances across a payline will give you 100x the bet. Loki, the God of Mischief, rewards 50x, and you get 40x for the symbol depicting who I assume is Gaea, the Goddess of Earth and Thor’s mother. The Red Lion pays 35x, a Purple Snake rewards 30x, Thor’s Helmet is worth 25x, and an Axe, Horn, and Sheild offer up to 24x, 20x, and 16x, respectively. Appearing on reels 3, 4, and 5, wild symbols will substitute for all paying symbols if they can create a winning combination.
Whether you play the Mjolnir slot demo or the full version at an online casino will determine the betting range you can choose from. You can bet 1, 2, 3, 5, or 10 per spin on the demo. That is likely to differ when playing for real money.
Mjolnir Slot Base Game
Mjolnir is a ways-to-win slot, so you will not have to worry about paylines. Winning combinations occur when 3 or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel. After a win, a cascading reels feature removes the winning symbols from the reels. That is done via a dramatic lightning effect, which is a bit OTT but visually appealing at the same time. New symbols fall from the top of the reels into the vacated position and can create additional wins.
Lightning Wilds
Triggered randomly, reels 2, 3, or 4 can get struck by lightning. It can deliver between 1 and 3 stacked wilds with a guaranteed win. Playing the demo version, I noticed this feature triggers quite frequently, at least during my session.
Mjolnir Slot Bonus Features
The real fun starts on JDB’s Mjolnir slot when you trigger the main bonus round, where landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols will award 10, 15 and 25 free spins, respectively.
Free Spins Feature
This bonus game features a progressive multiplier that resets between spins. The multiplier increases as a spin creates more cascading wins, so after the second win on a spin, the multiplier increases to 2x, with each subsequent cascading win increasing the value to 3x, 4x, 5x, and 8x. If the Golden Hammer symbol lands during the free spins feature, it can turn a random number of reels completely wild.
Pros
- Two bonus features that can trigger the 10,666x max win.
- It is a well-designed slot with a brave theme.
Cons
- It's not for fans of fun and cutesy slot games.
Mjolnir Slot Review Final Thoughts
Call me a boring so-and-so, but I've never been interested in Thor or any other Marvel comic characters. The movies do well, as there are obviously people who love them; it's just not my cup of tea. That said, themes are just themes at the end of the day, and they rarely impact my decision on whether to play a particular slot, as I'd play a game based on cuddly bears and unicorns as long as it had good bonus features and engaging gameplay. To conclude, Mjolnir certainly had me entertained. It's a decent slot without being spectacular, so I'd have no issue recommending it to any of you to try out.
