Thursday is, apparently, an Old English word meaning Thor’s day. Which is the most random fact I’ve read all year. That was until I searched where the names of the other days of the week came from. Do yourself a favor and have a quick look yourself. Sunday and Monday kind of make sense. Then, we lose our minds, and it’s crazyland.

Now that we’ve learned a random fact for the day, let’s jump into 21 Thor Lightning Ways slot from Relax Gaming. And no, the chiseled abs of Chris ​Hemsworth do not feature in this one.

The slot offers an interesting feature that awards multipliers to winning combinations that occur on predetermined paylines. The active multiplier paylines can be identified easily by the multiplier amount to the left of the reels and the blue line indicating the lucky payline. Every spin of the slot has at least one of these multiplier paylines active.

Three or more golden shield bonus symbols will trigger a round of the slot’s free spins feature. Three bonus symbols will award 15 free spins, four will award 20 free spins, and five will award 30 free spins.

During a round of the slot’s free spins, there will be significantly more multiplier paylines active. Additionally, if you trigger a win on a multiplier payline, the multiplier value on that payline will be increased for the next one.

If you’re not keen on going up against the God of Thunder on your own, you can select to purchase a round of the slot’s free spins feature. You can select to purchase a round of 15, 20, or 30 free spins.

Is 21 Thor Lightning Ways slot worthy of the gods?

21 Thor Lightning Ways slot offers medium volatility, giving the gameplay a nice balance between small, consistent wins and rare big wins. However, thanks to the fairly low 1,339x max multiplier, you will need to be betting at €150 a spin to play for the slot’s €200,850 maximum payout. The slot has an RTP of 96%.

Let’s temper expectations. You’re not going to be winning big on this one. Sure, if you bet at €150 a spin, you can go after over €200k. But if you have that kind of scratch and a hankering to go after some huge wins, the fairly underwhelming max multiplier means that you’re better off elsewhere. As a pure piece of entertainment, however, 21 Thor Lightning Ways slot has a lot going for it. The multiplier paylines add a really fun element to the gameplay, and the free spins feature just takes that up a notch. The graphics are also really great, and the theme has been executed really well. It’s a solid slot. I give this one a nine out of ten.

If you’re looking for a few other hot slots from this provider, I recommend trying out 3 Secret Cities or 9k Kong.
