ThunderStruck II RTP (96.65%), house edge & 500-spin session math
ThunderStruck II by Microgaming returns a published 96.65% RTP (3.35% house edge) across a 5×3 / 5×4 HTML5 video grid layout and calls for a 250x–350x bankroll buffer in A$ at Here2Win Casino (here2win.com.au).
This Microgaming release stands at +0.80 percentage points against the 95.85% studio average across 640 RTP-published titles (rank #53 of 640). The high-volatility pokie lands a winning combination roughly once every 3.3 spins (30.1% hit frequency). Its 96.65% math model requires a 250x–350x unit-stake buffer to absorb standard variance swings. Players launch ThunderStruck II in A$ at Here2Win Casino (here2win.com.au) with full HTML5 desktop and mobile parity.

How a session behaves
A session at Pokies Baron is described as a limit and a stop, not as a story. ThunderStruck II either fits that or it does not.
Same pokie, different Saturday. Walk away while the stake in A$ is still a choice.
Who it suits
A high-volatility pokie suits a short session with a small A$ stake. The balance tends to move in lumps, so ThunderStruck II is a poor place to try to win a loss back.
