Progressive Product makes long-awaited debut in double slot release

Light & Wonder, Inc. announced the release of its inaugural Progressive Product games, Thundering Shenlong and Thundering Gorilla, from specialist slot provider Lightning Box, one of Light & Wonder’s in-house studios.

The latest hits in Lightning Box’s portfolio have evolved from Lightning Shenlong and Lightning Gorilla to become the studio’s first ever Progressive Product titles.

Thundering Shenlong and Thundering Gorilla showcase the Progressive Jackpot, including the Grand and Major Jackpot prizes. The chances of being awarded either jackpot is increased by opting to use Higher Bet Multipliers, with no upper limit on Progressive Jackpot values.

Additionally, a new Upgraded Respin feature has been added to both games. To activate this, players can use Perceived Persistence in the thunder clouds to trigger this round.

When players enter the feature, the screen is struck with lightning and may add extra Lightning Bolts onto the screen. Overall, the Upgraded Respins are played with two screens and between one and five Active Reels are randomly chosen for each respin. Colossal Lightning Bolts are also available, landing on any spin and splitting into individual Lightning Bolts to further boost prizes.

Key features and symbols remain from the original depictions of these games, with Thundering Shenlong transporting players to celebrate Chinese New Year and users landing in a jungle adventure in Thundering Gorilla.

Both slots also allow players the opportunity to go straight to the Bonus Game with the Bonus Buy option, with players staking 50x to be transported to either game’s flagship feature.

The 243 Ways to Win scenario remains in place on Thundering Shenlong, whilst Thundering Gorilla keeps its 40 lines from the first release, ensuring players can enjoy numerous paths to win prizes.

Thundering Shenlong and Thundering Gorilla will initially launch in New Jersey with BetMGM, FanDuel, Caesars and DraftKings and will be available to customers of Light & Wonder’s industry-leading OPENGAMING™ platform.

Michael Maokhamphiou, Studio Director at Lightning Box, said: “Thundering Shenlong and Thundering Gorilla are two incredible additions to our portfolio, with both slots opening new avenues for players with the Progressive Product to the fore.

“When you include the captivating Upgraded Respin feature on these games, you have two slots that are set to be huge hits for us across the market and we are thrilled to launch such an exciting new product onto our slots.”

Rob Procter, VP of Game Development at Light & Wonder, said: “Thundering Shenlong and Thundering Gorilla are packed with features and have propelled Lightning Box to the next level.

Two $110,000+ Montenegro packages available during ACR Poker’s Main Satellite on Sunday, April 27th


 The next chapter of ACR Poker’s High Stakes Adventure is taking shape. Two players are set to win their way to stunning Montenegro in Southeast Europe to compete against top poker pros and high stakes legends for huge prizes during the prestigious Super High Roller Series, scheduled for May 13th to 27th.

Through ACR Poker’s Main Satellite on Sunday, April 27th at 2:05pm ET, the High Stakes Adventure: Montenegro is guaranteeing two all-inclusive packages, each covering $110,000 in tournament buy-ins / entry fees, plus added business-class airfare, and a 5-night stay at the luxurious Maestral Resort & Casino.

“The High Stakes Adventure is all about creating opportunities for players to escape the ordinary and play alongside poker’s elite in incredible destinations,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “I can still feel the energy from my deep run in Montenegro last year, and I’ve got a good feeling this event is going to be just as unforgettable. If you missed your chance to win a South Korea package earlier this year, this is your chance to get in the game.”

Moneymaker is no stranger to the high-stakes scene in Montenegro, having won last year’s Triton Poker Super High Roller Series $25,000 buy-in event for $903,000. Meanwhile, fellow ACR Pro Nacho Barbero also made waves this year during the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Jeju, finishing 7th in the $100,000 buy-in Main Event, earning $946,000, plus cashing in four other events.

The High Stakes Adventure: Montenegro package winners will have the flexibility to split their $110,000 buy-in budget across multiple events or go all-in on a single high-stakes tourney. Off the felt, players can look forward to exploring Montenegro’s rich history, stunning landscapes and vibrant culture.

This latest satellite follows the success of ACR Poker’s High Stakes Adventure: South Korea earlier this year, where two $110,000 packages were awarded to players for the Super High Roller Series Jeju. Players looking to follow in their footsteps and compete for the Montenegro packages can buy into the Main Satellite for $2,650 or qualify for less through satellites running on ACR Poker this month.
