Thunder Hawk - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Thunder Hawk Slot Review

The Thunder Hawk slot is from the Peter and Sons stable. The 5x3 reel set produces 20 fixed bet ways. These pay left to right. In the base game there is a free spins bonus with random power-ups on every spin, along with a collect feature that triggers a super free spins game where players can collect Thunder Hawks.

There is a wild that substitutes for other winning symbols, but not the scatter symbol or the Thunder Hawk. Scatters do not pay and appear on the centre reels only. Three scatters trigger the free spins feature, and as you fill up the meter you get closer to the super free spins feature. In this phase of the game a win multiplier can be won along with extra free games. 

A Golden Bet offers a better chance of winning free games, and the feature can be bought.

You can find more Peter and Sons slots here at Slots Temple available as a demo play. We recommend trying out slots before deciding whether or not to visit casinos to play them.

Our comprehensive Thunder Hawk slot review follows below.

Theme

This is one of the designer’s slots which has a Native American theme celebrating the Thunder Hawk, which blesses the harvest and brings more riches. If this western theme appeals to you, why not take a look at the Money Train Origins slot, available in demo mode here at Slots Temple?

Symbols

The winning symbols reflect the theme in the main with the major ones being a witch doctor, chief, braves and a favoured female character. 

Soundtrack

The theme tune is a haunting pipe and percussion track which suits the theme perfectly and is unobtrusive.

Thunder Hawk Review - Our Verdict 

Our Thunder Hawk slot review begins with a look at the RTP.

RTP

This is one of those slots with an official RTP from the maker on the game site. In this case it comes in at 96%, which would have been respectable a year ago but is now slightly below the industry average.

Bonuses

The free games are interesting, and the random power-ups add to the possibilities for the player.

Verdict

The game has a good design, and if you are lucky enough to trigger the bonuses, there is plenty to keep players interested, but the volatility of the game may not suit everyone.
