Play Ready to Blow: Thundershots

Ready to Blow: Thundershots was designed by Playtech, and it’s only one of the many gold-mining-themed slots players can find online right now. Thanks to the Thundershots mechanic, it will be interesting, with its 5 reels supporting 20 paylines. Even regular wins during paid spins could pay up to 300x the stake. As for the RTP of the slot, it’s at 95.61%, so I’m not entirely satisfied with that part.

The lower-paying symbols in the mine are J, Q, K, and A. Landing a 5-of-a-kind win with them will get you between 4X and 5X the bet. Moving up to the higher-paying ones, we find helmet, lamp, and wagon, awarding between 7.5X and 12.5X the bet. The Wild Symbol substitutes all mentioned symbols and also pays on its own, awarding 15X the bet for a 5-of-a-kind win. It doesn’t substitute the Scatter Symbol or the Diamond Nugget in the Free Spins.

The Wild Symbol is a cross-eyed miner with a big gray beard and a bird on its shoulder. It substitutes all regular symbols but not the special ones. It’s also the best-paying symbol on its own, awarding 2.5X, 7.5X, and 15X the bet for wins containing 3, 4, or 5 symbols.

The Exploding Wilds feature can trigger randomly on any spin. It will either produce a stacked Wild Symbol, covering all positions on a reel, or a double stacked Wild, covering all positions on two adjacent reels.

An interesting first feature symbol of the Ready to Blow: Thundershots slot will be the Old Miner, as a substitute and the top-paying symbol (15x the stake per combo). The player can also claim access to 10 free spins, with help from Dynamite scatters, and inside, you can level up while resetting the number of remaining rounds. Add exploding wilds that can randomly trigger or the Thundershots feature and its mix of prizes and free spins, and there is more than enough to keep things fun for the player.
