Thor (CQ9) Demo Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Thor Theme & Design

Thor is the lightning God from ancient Norse mythology and was worshipped as a living deity for thousands of years. There are so many great stories about Thor, his world, Kingdom, family and powers and his original tales have influenced and inspired people for decades . You’ll find many things that have been inspired by or dedicated to the mighty god, everything from films, art, books right down to his own dedicated day in the week. It’s no surprise really, as Norse culture has an incredible amount of tales that involve Thor in some way and most of them are pretty wild. Though CQ9 are not the first nor the last slot game developers to theme a game around this character, they have brought a tantalising offer to the table with this title. The art is phenomenal and it doesn’t stop there.

Thor Animations & Audio

CQ9 excel at creating beautiful cinematic soundtracks to their games and they have once again delivered with the audio to Thor. The fantasy track is an energetic instrumental piece worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster and the other game sound effects are much quieter in an effort to make room for the intricate music. The animation is also rendered beautifully, the reels spin quickly and the symbols spring in to action whenever players match winning symbols. There are lots of little, unique animations which meld together to give a highly polished effect that is on par with the most popular games developers. The on-going problem with CQ9 games though is their fondness for lengthy announcement animations which intrude on the game and force the gameplay to a standstill whenever you hit a win, which can ultimately become very time consuming.

How To Play Thor

This game is incredibly easy to get started, as it’s been optimised for mobile play - which means you only need a few essentials buttons on the screen. First you need to use the +/- toggle buttons to adjust your wager value to 0.06-1,500.00 per spin, then just press the CQ9 logo button to set the reels spinning. Winning combinations are formed when you match three or more symbols across any of the 243 paylines and the game will automatically calculate these for you. The wild symbol is a circle with Thor on it and this lucky symbol can substitute any other icon on the reels except for the scatter symbol. The scatter symbol is Thor’s hammer and it can bring a special bonus multiplier to your game depending on how many times it shows up. Three hammers will get you a 3x multiplier, 4 will grant you 20x and 5 will add a hefty 50x multiplier to your original stake.

Thor Bonus Feature & Free Spins

In Thor by CQ9 you can trigger the free spins round at any point when you match 5 of any kind of symbol. When you get the lucky combination, you’ll automatically get to take 5 free spins at the same bet level as the one that triggered the game. During the free round, you’ll find that Thor’s hammer can grant you additional prizes no matter where it lands on the reels. The prize matches the same as the win line that matches the bonus and when you get a symbol on the reels you’ll get a cool animation of Thor’s hammer smashing the symbol to reveal your prize. If you manage to match five more of any kind of symbol during the bonus round, you’ll get an additional 5 free spins. This great bonus feature can be retriggered 10 times per game.

RTP & Volatility of Thor

Unfortunately, none of the games from CQ9 Gaming Slot Machines have an official RTP or volatility rating. We assume this is because they are still a fairly new developer and their website doesn't have much information on each individual title. Due to this, we cannot give you an accurate number for either; but we estimate this game to be around 96% RTP with a low/medium volatility rating. We will update you with specifics once CQ9 release the game information.

Our Verdict of Thor

There are some popular themes that really get used a lot in game themes and Norse mythology happens to be one of them. Usually they are boring at best, with some titles receiving such a poor reception that they get lost to the annals of slot machine galleries, unplayed and forgotten. However, Thor from CQ9 is not one of those games and it brings a beautiful, sophisticated yet simple charm with it. The art, animation and audio are all top notch, which is delightfully a running theme with CQ9 titles; but its gameplay remains simple and easy to use whilst increasing its accessibility to its audience.
