Slot machine details and review Temple of Thunder II Bonus Buy
Temple of Thunder II Bonus Buy is a slot machine from Evoplay, a sequel to another game with a similar title that came out just a couple of years prior to this one. Theyβve decided to try again, making it more complex and changing its gameplay style completely, but they kept the Ancient Greek mythology theme. Another area where they made changes is the game area, where the 5×3 reels only offer 20 paylines now.
Every slot machine must be developed by a company that invented, designed and put it into operation. Many players eventually find that they only enjoy playing on machines from specific software provider, so they narrow down their selection by preferred brand.
A high volatility slot. Wins are rare, but can be really big. The game has more pronounced fluctuations and can often go without hitting anything for a long time, suitable for players who like adrenaline, higher risk and work with a larger budget. More about volatility here.
Slot theme and symbols
While the previous title featured mythological monsters among its symbols, the sequel removed them entirely, leaving nothing in their place. As such, the number of symbols dropped from 11 to 7 while the slot has the same five reels, so forming combinations should be easier (though there are now 20 lines instead of 243 ways to win). The graphics are about the same, so they look fine without being impressive.
Temple of Thunder II Bonus Buy theme and symbols
You should expect high volatility in this online slot, which canβt be avoided if you want to play it. It doesnβt look too good even in the other areas, as wins of up to 3,624x the stake are the best it can deliver. A 95.82% RTP may be close to whatβs expected, but itβs still a bit lower than the average returns people would want to see. Overall, there is room for improvement. The experience is quite different from the original, and the synced reels are gone, so itβs about triggering the main feature if you want a big prize here.

WILD symbol
One of the special symbols that you can get on all reels, the Wild is the one that substitutes for all regular symbols. This happens if it can help them form a combination, but it still needs to be in the right position to act as a substitute.
Mystery symbol
One way to get multiple symbols of the same type on the reels is through Mystery symbols. These can land on all reels, and when they transform, they will reveal either Wilds, Coins, or regular symbols.
Scatter symbol
The scatter is the one with the Free Spins logo, so itβs obvious what it can do for you. There are three reels where the scatter can appear: the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th reels.
Free Spins
If you can get scatter symbols on all three reels (columns 2-4), then the game triggers 10 free spins. If they land again, the feature is retriggered with another 10 free spins. For this feature, Mystery symbols will give you either wilds or regular symbols only, so no Coins.
Coin symbol
Another type of feature symbol, the Coin, carries a random prize, either a regular one ranging from 1x to 25x or a fixed jackpot. The jackpots it carries can be the Mini at 10x the stake, the Minor at 50x, or the Major at 500x.
Hold & Win Bonus
During spins where you have a minimum of 5 Coins anywhere on the reels, the Hold & Win feature gets triggered. It keeps the triggering Coins locked in their positions. You go through 3 respins, and you try to get additional Coins. These new Coins become sticky as well, and the respins reset to 3. At the end of the feature, you get paid the prizes mentioned on all sticky Coins. If you filled all 15 positions with Coins, then an additional Epic Prize is paid, and thatβs the goal since itβs worth 3,000x the stake.
Bonus Buy
You can buy access to either major feature. If you want the 10 free spins, you will have to pay 51x the stake. For the Hold & Win respins, the cost is 47x the stake.

Our rating of the game
Temple of Thunder II Bonus Buy
While the original game was a bit on the simple side, it had the advantage of being a slot that stood out, with its ways to win, wilds, and synced reels that made it all about the base game. Here, in the sequel, Evoplay decided to create the type of slot machine that everyone else already offers. From wilds to mystery symbols, free spins, and the Hold & Win respins, or the Ancient Greek deities on its reels, there is nothing that would make this slot stand out. Add a low RTP, high volatility, and a disappointing top prize, and the list of reasons why you might want to check this one out gets smaller and smaller.

How do we rate slot machines?
We evaluate slot machines based on multiple criteria, from which we make our final verdict.
Has a Hold & Win feature, with respins and an Epic Prize that you will want to go after.
A free spins feature that you can retrigger if you get enough scatters on the reels.
Mystery symbols can land and turn into regular symbols, wilds, or coins.
Only 7 regular symbols are available on its reels, so forming a combination is easier than in other games.
The Bonus Buy option is there, for both free spins and respins, depending on which you prefer.
Cons
Itβs a highly volatile game, so you shouldnβt expect wins to come easily to you.
With a Return to Player of 95.82%, the slotβs average returns are lower than in other games.
It pays at most 3,624x the stake, which is not a lot when you have to deal with increased volatility.
Delivers the same features and mechanics as everyone else, so compared to the original, itβs a downgrade.
