Riders of the Storm Slot

Riders of the storm is an online slot by Thunderkick, which will probably end up being an old classic slot, since the community showed a big love for this game. Now, lets talk about the design of the game which is absolutely marvelous. The whole concept and theme seems to be working out like a charm, with the dark blue colours surrounding the image. The minimum bet in order to play the slot is only 0.10 cents per spin.

The game has 2 features. The first one is the random feature which appears out of nowhere in the middle of the basegame. In this feature some reels turn into wild reels, so as you can imagine you might end up with a mega win. Now the second one is the basic bonus feature that needs 3 scatters in order to be triggered. When you manage to trigger the bonus feature, you will be given 4 options to choose. You can either pick 15 free spins on a 2x wild multiplier, 10 free spins on a 3x multiplier and 5 free spins on a 5x multiplier.

Also, you can risk it and choose the random option which gives random free spins and symbols. In the bonus game, every wild that shows up stays there and moves to the left. So the whole concept is to bring as many as wilds as possible. Personally, I have been playing riders of the storm for quite some time now and I can definitely say that the game has more positive traits than negative ones.

The game rarely brings the empty rounds phenomenon which can actually destroy a player's balance. Another thing I would like to point out is that even though i did not manage to land the super mega win of 2000x, I can definitely say that the bonuses usually pay good.

One thing I did not like while playing this particular slot is the fact that sometimes in order to trigger the bonus feature might take hundreds of spins. And personally it is something I do not like because the balance is not made to take all the heat. Hehe.

Remember the old game of yesteryears entitled ‘Fruit Warp’? Well, that game introduced me to Thunderkick, I enjoyed the game so much, and Thunderkick got into my favorite provider's list. There have been a few more good games from them ever since, although most others did not make the popularity list, but this fairly new release, Riders Of The Storm’ should be able to whip out some good storms, hehehe.

Thunderkick games have always maintained a $0.10 starting bet per spin, so there’s no good reason for not giving their games some tries. For me, I’ve played and tried out all of their games, but none of their later releases have really caught my interest. As for Riders Of The Storm, its nice presentation quickly caught my eye, I became interested, and gave it a go. That turned out to be several gos instead, hahaha.

Although the win values of all the symbols are very low, its $0.10 starting bet for a 243-ways-to-win game is simply excellent! No need to pay 3 times more per spin, so players can get extended playtimes even with a small starting bankroll. Then there are also other interesting features too – Wilds multiply wins by 2x or 3x, up to 4 full Wild Reels can appear anytime, 4 choices of free spins mode, awarding 15 free spins with a 2x multiplier, 10 free spins with a 3x multiplier, 6 free spins with a 5x multiplier, or a random selection of the 3, Retriggers of free spins are also possible, and finally a Walking Wild feature.

With so many features within this Riders Of The Storm game, any player can expect to get exciting playtimes, and probably nice big wins too. What’s the best possible win? Get all 15 of the top symbol and get a whopping 3645x the total bet amount, not forgetting that this kind of win can be won on a mere $0.10 bet per spin!

So, how good is its gameplay, you may ask? To put it very briefly, my two play sessions on the game gave me a few decent wins, up to 83x my staked amount, so that’s a very fair result indeed. If I want the bigger wins, then I would need to give the game many more plays – a good win will come sooner or later, the question is, how much sooner or later? Play and find out, hehehe.

Riders of the Storm is one of the newest games from Thubderkick game provider. I have to say that in the last couple of months I've been pleasantly surprised by the new Thunderkick games, they seem to have worked on the game volatility and nowadays their new games have really exciting features, and riders of the Storm is no exception.

The slot is inspired by Thunder theme and the main characters are thunder which is also a wild symbol as well as explorers or riders. The theme is kinda futuristic-meets-old-school and I really like it. As usually, there's also letters and numbers as low paying symbols. From technical perspective the game has 5 reels and 243 ways, base game feature as well as free spins bonus round.
I've played this slot several times and I won't lie I really enjoy it. Reason behind is simple- the game has a lot of potential. Anytime before a spin thunder feature can come up and turn one or more reels into wilds- in my experience it doesn't come up too often and also hasn't given me any big wins, yet I think it could help to get 5oak combination which isn't bad at all.

But my favorite part is the free spins round. You need to get 3 or more scatters to trigger free spins- in this case more scatters won't give more spins but you'll get paid for the scatter symbols which is nice. Then the free spins allow you to choose a feature you like the most - from lowest volatility to highest one. Another interesting thing they've done is the mystery feature which I don't recall seeing from Thunderkick in the past. 

From my experience, my favorite feature is the medium volatility one of 10 spins with 3x multiplier. The great thing here is that whenever a wild symbol comes up, it will become a moving wild and for that you'll get free respins. That's when you can expect great wins. My best win so far is around 80x bet but I'm convinced it has much greater potential. I don't really like the mystery feature as the few times I've picked it, it has given me the smallest amount of spins with the smallest multiplier - let me tell you, 6 spins with 2x multiplier didn't even pay 10x!

Overall this is one of my favorite Thunderkick games, I like the design, the features are exciting and there's a lot of potential. I will definitely keep spinning this slot to chase some bigger wins.

Biggest con of a slot going. Went through several thousand spins with biggest win x10 my stake. You've got more chance winning the lottery than actually getting the bonus feature.

Riders of the storm is one of Thunderkick's latest releases. This slot was exclusive at Casumo for a short while until it went live globally at most casinos with Thunderkick as a provider. This is one of their most decent releases as the other were okay, but I am talking decent in terms of mentioning Pink Elephants etc. This highly volatile offering has a great base game feature as well as an interesting free spin feature. Graphics are great with an epic sound track.

Symbols include A, K, Q, J and 10 card suits as well as hook knives, anchors, ship wheels and the 3 riders of the storm characters as the hunter, engineer and captain. The captain is the most rewarding symbol giving you x15 your total stake. The scatter pay-out is rewarding as well, as 5 of kind can give you up to x200 your stake. I have not seen a generous scatter pay-out like this in a while.

There’s also a crystal symbol which is the wild. If you land 5 of these, it will give you 15 times your stake as well as substitute for all symbols but the scatter. It comes with a 2x multiplier in the base game. Any winning combination with 1 or more wilds will multiply the pay-out

Riders of the Storm comes with a randomly activated Mystery Wild Reels feature in the base game. You can be awarded with up to 4 wild reels. These wild reels don’t multiply however you can benefit of up to 81 ways pays for 4 of kind. Should you manage to land full stack of rider symbol with 4 wild reels, you will reap the benefit of x243 ways to pay.

The compass symbol is scatter and landing 3, 4 or 5 will give you 2, 20 or 200 times your times as well as triggering the Bonus Game feature. There are 4 different types of features. Each of them offers a stacked high value symbol or wild, a wild multiplier and several free spins. You can also randomly let the game select a feature for you. Only during the random select feature will you be able to benefit from the possibility of getting wild as a stacked symbol.

I love this game honestly and one of the better ones out there. You can keep a great balance steady and good for wagering. You will find a lot of teases in this slot and its highly volatile as well. Have a decent starting balance if you want to take a chance to hit it big. I normally choose the 10 spins with x3 multiplier, but mostly the random picker.
