It’s no surprise that the provider of the same name comes out with Gates of Thunder. And by the way, we are talking about ‘Yggdrasil’. Which is the Tree of Life in Norse mythology.

If you’re up on your Norse mythology (or your Marvel movies) you’ll already know that Thor is the god of thunder. And staying true to the spirit of the myth, that’s exactly who you’ll find guarding the titular Gates of Thunder. With his trusty hammer, Mjolnir in hand. (We also watch Marvel movies.)

Get your jackpot in Gates of Thunder!

Going for a dark, gritty feel over a light-hearted cartoon-style theme, Gates of Thunder is all about power and wealth (and thunder). Set against a craggy mountain backdrop with silver lightning bolts streaking the sky. Spread across the 6×5 reel game area you’ll find symbols ranging from Thor’s hammer to a Viking warrior, the tree of life, glittering gemstones and more. All in line with the slot’s central concept.

While Gates of Thunder might look like a regular slot from the outset, the Pay Anywhere mechanism powering its reels tells a different story. One where you, the main character, could make off with a legendary slots jackpot! How much, you ask? Up to a maximum of 10,000x your wager, if the gods (and the 94% RTP) are on your side. And even if you don’t manage to lay claim to the ultimate payout victory, the free spins, multipliers and tumbles features are more than enough to keep you entertained from your first spin to your last.

To enter through the Gates of Thunder, you’ll be required to place a bet first. In this case, anywhere from $0.20 for a minimum bet, up to a maximum of $25 per spin. If you’re able to afford a max bet, it might be worth it here, firstly because it’s more affordable than some $100 or $200 max bets, and secondly because if you do, you’ll put yourself in the running to win a max of $250,000!

Always stick to your budget!

Before you hit that bet button though, make sure that whatever amount you’re going to wager, you can afford to spend. Always stick to your budget – that’s how you play the game!

And what a game Gates of Thunder is! With space for 30 symbols on the reels, you’ll need at least 8 anywhere in the game area to match, in order to score a winning combo. Get at least 12 matching symbols on the reels, and you’ll boost your winning chances even more!

Once you’ve found a winning combo, that’s when the tumble mechanic kicks in. Removing the matching symbols from the reels and replacing them with new ones dropping down from above. Find more matching combos, score more wins – that’s how it works!

Be on the lookout for the multiplier

Look out for the multiplier symbols that’ll drop in randomly as you play, boosting your winnings by anything from 2x up to a max of 25x. Even better, find more than one multiplier during a winning spin. And their totals will be added together and applied at the end of the round. Giving you an even bigger payout to enjoy!

Finally, find between 3 and 5 scatters on the reels and you’ll be rewarded with 10 to 15 free spins. And a starting multiplier too! Retrigger the round as you play. And you’ll add an extra 5 spins to your total for even more winning potential.

It’s all happening in Gates of Thunder so make a date to walk through them today – fate and fortune await!
