Riders of the Storm Slot Review

Released in September 2019, this game can be played in online casinos such as PlayOjoCasumo or Mr Green.

Theme and basic information

Thunderkick are a bit of a mystery. They regularly simply take the summer months off from releasing new slots, whereas other developers churn out multiple slots each month. Indeed, at the time of its release Riders of the Storm was the first slot from Thunderkick in three months.

You can tell right away, however, that a lot of effort has been put into this game. Graphically it is absolutely superb. We get a curious steampunk theme here with three storm chasers heading out into the clouds on a frigate to harness lightning (this is what these guys presumably do – read Stardust if you don’t believe us). The brewing storm in the distance sets the atmosphere perfectly and the sounds of wind and thunder add to it nicely.

On the reels we find the female captain, her engineer and the huntress (with the harpoon), who’s also a woman. There’s also a hook, a steering wheel, an anchor and the playing cards from 9 to A on the reels.

The wild is a crystal and the scatter is a compass.

The captain is worth the most with 15x our stake for 5 on a payline. By the way, this game has 243 ways to win, which means any three matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right pay out a win.

You can play this game from 0.10 per spin to 100.00 per spin.

Added wild reels throughout the storm

For the most part, you’ll be spinning the reels away in the base game to wait for the free spins to hit. In fact, we didn’t know there was a special feature until we’ve already played the free spins twice and had gone through well over 200 spins.

You see, the storm is brewing in the background and sometimes it gets darker and the lighting starts to strike more frequently. The whole thing is rather menacing. And sometimes when that happens, the lighting strikes the reels, leaving between 1 and 4 wild reels behind. That can leave us with handsome wins.

By the way, wilds always have a 2x multiplier attached, which is cool and sometimes really helpful.

Choose your storm chasing adventure and multiplier

Three scatters will activate the free spins. Get more scatters and you get coin rewards. Five scatters would earn us 200x our stake on top of landing the free spins. Before launching into the free spins, we get to see a cool sequence of the storm chasing ship entering the storm.

Now you have to choose how many spins you want which multiplier accompanies them and which of the three characters appears stacked. These are your options:

  • Engineer: 15 spins with a 2x multiplier wild and the engineer as stacked symbol and low volatility
  • Huntress: 10 spins with a 3x multiplier wild and the huntress as stacked symbol and medium volatility
  • Captain: 6 spins with a 5x multiplier wild and the captain as stacked symbol and high volatility
  • Random: Here the number of spins and applicable multiplier along with stacked symbol will be randomly chosen among above options

The good news is, the wild now becomes a wandering wild. This means, wherever a wild lands it will start wandering towards the left, awarding a free re-spin with each position it moves along the reels. If more wilds land, they also begin wandering to the left. The re-spins only stop after the last wild has moved off the reels. This usually means that you get a lot more spins than the ones you have chosen.

Additionally, it is possible to retrigger the free spins more than once. Catch three more scatters and a random number of free spins is awarded. That doesn’t happen often and is more likely to happen when you pick the Engineer or Huntress feature.

Still, after playing all options once, going with the Captain last, we ended up only choosing the Captain thereafter. The first time we picked this feature, we landed 5 wilds on the last regular spin, which gave us multiple big wins in a row and a total of over 900x our bet. Even during a bad run this feature still gave us 80x to 280x our bet. The other features never offered more than 50x our bet.

Conclusion: A slot that can blow you away if you are lucky

The theoretical RTP (Return to Player) of Riders of the Storm is 96.15%, which is not the best Thunderkick has given us. Plus, the base game is volatile and the free spin features are as volatile as you choose them.

Believe us when we say this, we’re not risky gamblers. Not at all. Sometimes we have found slots too volatile for our liking and too much of a drain on the budget before the game ended up paying out. But we are absolutely enamoured with Riders of the Storm. It doesn’t always pay out 900x your stake. But it can have you on the edge of your seat regardless.

It is a gorgeous slot with huge potential and a massive 26,426x your stake in maximum wins. We’ve played it over and over again for hundreds of spins and whilst we did lose plenty, the wins made up for it in the long run and we know we will happily come back to this game.
