About Bird of Thunder
Habanero’s Bird of Thunder is a progressive jackpot slot that is heavily themed on the fauna of the North American plains. The game serves up five reels and 30 paylines, all of which are fixed. Bird of Thunder does allow manipulation of your coin’s value (from 0.01 up to the lavish 20.00), and you can stake up to ten of those per payline. What this does is create a very flexible wagering range that will suit low and high rollers alike, with bets stretching from 0.30 up to 6,000.00 a spin. While standard payouts are capped at 1,250x a stake, it is the progressive jackpot in this animal-themed slot that you’re going to be after. That can be won at random following the conclusion of any spin in the slot. In terms of volatility, Birds of Thunder is a medium-high variance release with an industry-standard RTP rate.
Special Features
The mighty golden eagle appears as a wild symbol in Bird of Thunder. This eagle can replace all barring scatters and is the joint top-paying symbol alongside bear emblems. You’ll need five on a line to pocket the top non-progressive prize.
Scatter symbols appear as a thunderbird totem and land three or more offers scattered wins as you’d expect. Three or more will also trigger a Bird of Thunder free spin bonus, and you should take full advantage of that round, as it is the only bonus to star in the Bird of Thunder slot.
As touched on, there is a progressive jackpot in Bird of Thunder. In fact, there are two of them. The Minor Jackpot can deliver prizes worth anything from 100 credits upwards. The Grand Jackpot offers more lavish prizes, starting at a grand and rising upwards with each new stake that is wagered on them. As mentioned, you don’t need to do anything specific to win these – they are won at random. However, the more you bet, the more likely you will be to trigger Bird of Thunder’s Grand Jackpot over the Minor Jackpot prize.
Bonus Feature
Once activated with three scatters, the feature promises ten free games. Scatters don’t pay during the free spin round, but you’ll land an additional free spin for every one of them that you acquire during the feature. Wild symbols add a bit more excitement in this round. Every eagle wild that pops up will fly to another symbol (not wilds but including scatters) and transform them into another wild.
