Slot Summary

Released on January 19, 2020, Thor places CQ9 Gaming's Norse figure in a five-reel, 243-way format with a 95.96% RTP. The decisive shift occurs in the Free Game, where Scatter symbols award prizes and Thor's hammer can produce a special result. It is a compact Mythology slot whose stated math is easy to identify, while most mechanical variation is reserved for the bonus.

How It Plays

Thor uses five reels and 243 Ways rather than fixed paylines. Winning combinations are evaluated through adjacent reel positions across the compact 5x3 format.

The Wild has a second purpose beyond substitution because qualifying Wild combinations can move the round into the Free Game, making its appearance mechanically decisive.

Theme & Atmosphere

Viking and Mythology subjects place Thor at the center of the action, with Scandinavian legend providing the characters and symbols used across the reels.

The Sea and Medieval labels broaden that setting beyond the god himself, connecting ships, weapons, and fortified imagery to the Norse source material.

Features & Win Potential

The 243 Ways system removes the need to follow individual lines, while the five-reel layout keeps the outcome readable across each adjacent-reel combination.

Wild Symbol and Scatter Symbol functions converge in the Free Spins route. Once active, Scatter awards and Thor's hammer provide the bonus variation.

Bonus & Free Spins

The Free Game is Thor's main feature change. Scatter symbols become direct prize carriers during the round, while the hammer introduces a separate special result.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.96%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
