Thor Blimey is a game with a classic layout but with a modern design and with features which will make it a lot more fun than you would expect. Designed by Microgaming, it’s part of a collection of classic slots which have been enhanced significantly, mostly with the help of a bonus feature. The theme is obviously related to Thor, the Norse god, with the design being excellent, good enough to be from a modern slot actually.
You will find 5 lines on Thor Blimey’s 3 reels. The game has an interesting feature where you get to gamble your winnings in exchange for nudges, bonus games or bigger prizes. The top payout offers you $20,000.
Features of Thor Blimey!
The game makes use mostly of the bonus game to keep things interesting, but there are some nudges as well which can be triggered.
The bonus game was made to be used like a gamble on the wins you have, instead of being triggered by certain symbols. Whenever you have a win in this game, you are offered the option to gamble your win in exchange for a feature and a chance to make even more money.
Feature Exchange Bonus
Once the new screen loads, you will see a Viking longboat on the screen, with all kinds of prizes being displayed. Depending on your luck, you can get 1 to 15 nudges, cash prizes, one of the 9 different bonus games or the Multi Add feature.
Among the bonus games, you will find names like Norsey But Nice, Ship Shape, Cash Raider or Valhalla Bonanza, to give you only a couple of examples.
Betting options and jackpots
Even though 5 lines are available in the game, you use a single coin for all of them. Its value starts at $0.10 and goes up to $10.
You can win prizes of up to 2,000x in this game, which means a maximum value of $20,000.
Design and symbols
The design is a big reason why I enjoyed playing Thor Blimey. The quality of the design for the main characters is good enough to be used in a modern slot machine, and it can be seen in some of the other symbols and in the background image as well. It’s not as visible in the classic symbols, but those make up only about 40% of the paytable line-up.
Symbols: Thor (2,000x), Blonde Maiden (250x), Longboat (50x), Thunder (20x), Thor’s Hammer (10x), Beer Mug (8x), Red 7 (6x), Orange (4x), Lemon (2x) and Cherries (1x).
Is It Worth Playing?
I’ve certainly enjoyed trying it out, and anyone that wants a 3 reel title, but is sick of the simple slots that are usually part of this category, will feel the same way.
Thor Blimey! can be found at any Microgaming casino, where you get a chance to play it for real money or in free mode.
