Age of the Gods: Norse – Ways of Thunder is one of those titles players fall in love with at first sight. The Ancient Greek theme may be a little bit more popular in the series, but the Nordic myths do not stand back in quality and chances of winning. The RTP is higher than the average for the category, but the appraisal for Age of the Gods: Norse – Ways of Thunder goes beyond that.
What makes an impression from the first glimpse is the unusual structure. Ways of Thunder comes up with five reels and five rows. We will easily guess there have to be more possible ways to win here than at a slot with a 5×3 grid. And so it is, but there are no pre-designed paylines.
There are 3125 possible winning combinations. You need to hit at least two premium symbols (Thor, Wolf-Serpent, Wolf) or three of a kind of all the others. Since there are no paylines, you must hit them on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost vertical. The position on the reel itself doesn’t matter.
Wild: It substitutes for all other symbols except the Bonus card. The Wild cannot win on its own.
Bonus: You can win 25 times the bet size with five scatter cards on the reels. And more benefits come with the Bonus symbol.
Thor: The God of Thunder hits the reels with lightning bolts. Thor can expand over the entire reel, and when you get this premium symbol on all five reels, the payout is huge – 160x.
Jormungand: This scary creature is the Nordic wolf-serpent deity. Jormungand can bring you 100 times the bet size.
Wolf: You can win up to 40x.
Ram, Birds: The maximum prize is 32x.
Runes: There are several Nordic runes with different values. The A rune (looking more like the F letter) is the most valuable – five on a line bring you 20 times the bet size. The maximum payout for other runes is 20x or 12x.
Three Bonus cards anywhere on the reels give 8 additional rounds. When hitting four or five scatters, you get 20 and 50 free spins, respectively. Free games can be retriggered indefinitely.
Unlock reels: There are 25 tiles half of them are frozen. You need to unlock them in order to have greater chances of winning. Every successful turn unfreezes some fields and goes on for every consecutive win. Two Bonus symbols unlock even more options.
