In a picturesque setting surrounded by nature, stone houses, and a cloudy blue sky, Backseat Gaming takes us to the Home of Thor. Although he doesn’t appear on the reels, you can use his trusty weapon, Mjölnir, to win prizes. During the gameplay, the setting shifts from a green, sunny forest to a snowy valley in the Valhalla bonus round.
The slot is based on a 6×5 grid. You need to land a minimum of 5 matching symbols connected in a cluster to make a winning combination. The cluster pay mechanic removes the winning symbols and replaces them with others. The prize is collected in the Total Win Bar, which, after each spin, is multiplied by the Global multiplier.
Home of Thor – Base Gameplay, Symbols, and RTP
Home of Thor is a highly volatile slot with an average RTP of 96.29%. Five-of-a-kind brings you a payout of 0.1x to 1,000x the bet, and the cluster can be placed anywhere on the grid. Winning symbols are removed, and new ones drop in until no more winning combinations exist.
High-paying symbols include axe, helm, ship, and horn while low-paying ones are card ranks from 10 to A. There’s also a wild symbol, which can bring you up to 2,000x your initial wager.
Special Features
The Symbol Transformation highlights the winning cluster, replacing winning symbols with new ones.
After each winning combination, the Symbol Transformation feature activates. It highlights the squares behind the winning symbols after payouts have been awarded. Then, each square will reveal matching paying symbols or Coin cash prizes. A multiplier, a Collector, or free spins may appear during the base game. The Mjölnir symbol can only land once during each spin, including tumbles.
Coin symbols range from 1x to 1,000x the bet. Collector symbols gather these values and trigger a respin, while multipliers contribute to the Global multiplier. Free spins symbols add extra spins during bonus rounds, with all values contributing to the Total Win Bar.
Odin’s Watch, Valhalla & Bonus Buy
Home of Thor has something more than most online slots, and that’s the bonus rounds. Triggered by landing 3 Raven scatters, Odin’s Watch awards 10 free spins with base game mechanics. Highlighted positions stay until activated by a Mjölnir symbol, and the Global multiplier continues throughout the feature.
To activate Valhalla, you need 3 Home of Thor scatters. It will grant 10 free spins like Odin’s Watch, but highlighted positions will stay for the entire bonus round. You can also use the Bonus Buy feature and choose from activating free spins, Odin’s Watch, or Valhalla.
