Wizard Games unveils electrifying release Thor’s Hammer Strike
NeoGames S.A (Nasdaq: NGMS) subsidiary Wizard Games has unleashed the power of the gods with its latest release, Thor’s Hammer Strike.
Transporting players into the not-too-distant future, the 5×3, 50-payline slot features Thor, the god of the sky and thunder. As players set the reels in motion, the power of Thor’s Hammer is palpable in what promises to be an electrifying slot-playing experience with the potential of heavenly wins.
In this feature-packed release, players feel the rumble of thunder when six Thor Bonus symbols land to activate six respins, with the addition of a further respin for every additional Bonus symbol. All Thor Bonus symbols hold their positions for the respins, while it gets even better for the player when any adjacent Thor symbols merge into Mega Bonus Symbols for mind-blowing payouts up to 750x the stake and the potential of a Mega Bonus Prize.
There is also the chance to land up to 15 Free Spins when landing three or more scatter symbols. In this round, the middle reel is filled entirely with Scatter and Wild symbols for added excitement.
Thor’s Hammer Strike is the latest legendary release to take its place within the Wizard Games portfolio, adding to classic experiences such as Joker Diamond, as well as modern, high-octane video slots including Dragons of the North Megaways™ and recent launch Princess Celina and the Frog.
The offering has proven hugely successful in markets around the globe, including numerous states and provinces in North America where the supplier has gained great traction over the last 12 months.
Joey Hurtado, Managing Director at Wizard Games, said: “It’s a privilege to introduce Thor’s Hammer Strike to players as we continue on our mission to deliver a catalogue packed with exciting titles to thrill audiences all over the world.
“This is a game packed with energy and features and we believe it will prove to be another major hit for our wide network of operator partners in regulated markets globally.”
