Riders of the Storm

Riders of the Storm Slot

Riders of the Storm is a truly epic video slot from Thunderkick, and the sheer potential doesn’t dampen our excitement either. It’s a game that’s sure to stand the test of time. When the slot loads up, you’re riding straight into a massive storm, and the steampunk-inspired game comes with a dramatic soundtrack and rumbling thunder. It all plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 paylines, and you can bet up to 100 per spin across all devices. The base game benefits from 2x multipliers and up to 4 fully stacked wild reels that land at random times.

In the free spins feature, you can choose 1 of 3 characters and play around with different configurations of walk multipliers, volatility, potential and of course the number of spins. There is also a Mystery option that will randomize everything. You can win up to a whopping 26,426x if you choose the most volatile option.

What symbols are there?

Thunderkick literally takes you right here in a massive thunderstorm as the reels are set against some very gloomy clouds. The 3 steampunk symbols are high value symbols along with the wild symbol, and here you also have medium and low value symbols. The paytable for Riders of the Storms slot is as follows:

• Wild symbol – Pays 15x for 5 on a payline
• Captain – Pays 15x for 5 on a payline
• Huntress – Pays 12.5x for 5 on a payline
• Engineer – Pays 10x for 5 on a payline
• Ship wheel – Pays 8x for 5 on a payline
• Anchor – Pays 7x for 5 on a payline
• Hook – Pays 6x for 5 on a payline
• Card suit symbols – Pay between 4x and 2x for 5 on a payline

What bonuses are there?

The wild symbol is a crystal ball that performs several functions in this game. This will give you a nice 15x payout if you land 5 on a payline and will usually substitute for other symbols. However, it can also land with a 2x multiplier which can give you nice wins in the base game. The base game also has a Mystery Wild Reel feature that can be triggered randomly on any spin. This will give you a maximum of 4 reels full of wild symbols, and it can also land you some pretty solid payouts.

Free Spins in Riders of the Storm

Riders of the Storm comes with 4 different free spin options, one for each character, plus the Mystery option. When you land 3, 4, or 5 compass scatters on the same spin, you will first win 2x, 20x, or 200x respectively. Then it’s time to choose your destiny and the various options will operate as follows:

• Engineer (Low volatility and 96.14% RTP) – gives you 15 free spins with 2x wild walk multiplier.
• Huntress (Medium volatility and 96.15% RTP) – Gives you 10 free spins with 3x wild walk multiplier.
• The Captain (high volatility and 96.14% RTP) – gives you 6 free spins with a 5x wild walk multiplier.
• Mystery Option (RTP 96.14%) – gives you a random number of spins between 6 and 15, with a random wild walk multiplier between 2x and 5x.

Maybe you think that only 6 spins is too little? Not really, because when you land 5x multipliers, you will benefit from the re-spins. This means that you will often get a lot more spins for your money and the potential is by far the highest when you have chosen El Capitano. You can also re-trigger the free spins feature by adding up to 33 extra spins.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

Although Riders of the Storm does not come with a jackpot, you can still win epic payouts on this game. The max win is 26,426 times your stake, but for this you need to activate the free spins feature (and choose the high volatility option). Play with a max bet of 100 and you can win around 2.6 million.

Verdict

Riders of the Storm is an excellent slot. The soundtrack is as epic as it could be, and the steampunk theme and characters are well balanced and engaging. You may not be able to trigger all the important free spins features, so it’s important to choose wisely when you do. We prefer the high volatility option because the26,426x potential is too tempting to go down.
