PG Soft launches Thunder Reckoning slot with 5,000x top payout

Thunder Reckoning has launched across PG Soft's distribution channels on 20 October 2026 as a Norse mythology–themed video slot featuring a 5x6 symbol grid and a stated maximum win of 5,000x the bet. The title pays on any eight or more matching symbols landing anywhere on the reels and uses cascading (collapsing) reels to replace winning symbols.

Grid activation and Prize Symbols

Each cascade win contributes to a grid activation mechanic. A first win on a grid position partially activates that position; a second win fully activates it. Adjacent fully activated positions merge into larger blocks from 2x2 up to 5x5. If all positions are fully activated, the board becomes a single 5x6 block.

When cascades end the Prize Symbols Feature converts fully activated positions into Prize symbols according to their merged size. PG Soft sets the payout bands as follows:

• single position: 0.25x–1x

• 2x2: 5x–10x

• 3x3: 20x–200x

• 4x4: 50x–500x

• 5x5: 200x–1,000x

• full 5x6 grid: 1,000x–5,000x

Free spins, retriggers and Feature Buy

The Free Spins Feature is triggered by three Scatter symbols and awards 10 free spins plus two additional spins for each extra Scatter. During free spins the grid starts partially activated and progress carries through the feature; the Prize Symbols Feature is applied after the final free spin. The free spins can be retriggered, and players may enter the feature immediately via an on‑screen Feature Buy.

PG Soft's spokesperson said players can watch progress visually as wins light the grid and build larger Prize symbols.

"We expect Thunder Reckoning to cause quite the storm with players when they have the chance to experience it. Each win lights up a bit more of the grid, so you can actually watch a big Prize symbol taking shape before it pays out. Free spins are where it gets really fun, because nothing resets and the whole board can end up charged," the spokesperson said.

Thunder Reckoning combines the cascading mechanic with grid‑based prize construction and a feature purchase option, positioning its maximum 5,000x payout as the headline figure for marketing and product placement in operator lobbies. For operators managing bonus funnels the persistent free spins progress may affect session dynamics in the feature. Free Spins Feature and the Feature Buy option are integral to the title's design.
