Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched its latest release King of the Party, which couples feature-rich gameplay with eye-catching visuals to deliver an entertaining player experience.

Lions, hyenas, lynx, lizards, and pigs reside on the reels, each stylised with retro sunglasses and sporting various items of jewellery. These animals represent the mid to high-paying symbols, with the Savannah’s apex predator being the most lucrative.

Thanks to the ever-popular Scatter Pays mechanic, wins are awarded when eight matching symbols land anywhere on the 6×5 reel set. Each win triggers an avalanche, where contributing symbols are replaced with new ones, giving players the opportunity to land multiple wins with the same spin.

With every winning combination, the global multiplier displayed beneath the reels is increased by one. Additionally, if winning symbols show an Overlay Multiplier, all values are accumulated and added to the global multiplier, with the entire payout multiplied by the new larger value.

The excitement reaches a crescendo in the Bonus Game, which is triggered when three or more Scatter symbols – represented by a gold record – land anywhere on the grid. The existing global multiplier carries over into the Free Spins feature, where Exploding Wilds are also introduced.

Any Wild not contributing to a win will explode, thus removing all symbols on the same row and column, in turn triggering a new avalanche.

King of the Party is the latest release to include both the Feature Buy – in permitted markets – and Bet+ options, affording players the opportunity to take control of their gaming experience. The former guarantees entry to the Bonus Game, while the latter enhances the potential of triggering the feature.

King of the Party emphasises Thunderkick’s commitment to providing the ultimate gaming experience, showcasing the provider’s unique approach to gameplay and attention to detail. It is the latest addition to Thunderkick’s evolving slot portfolio, following the popular releases of Xterminate and the highly anticipated sequel Midas Golden Touch 2.

Mike Collins, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “We’re delighted to announce the release of our new game King of the Party, which we’re sure our players will love. It once again boasts the popular Bet+ feature, giving players more control over their gameplay, as well as the Scatter Pays and Avalanche mechanics, which are proven fan-favourites.

“The design team has done exceptional work with the graphics to provide a vivid visual experience, while the seamless transitions and catalogue of features ensure an optimal experience from a gameplay perspective.”

Inspired Entertainment, Inc., a leading B2B provider of gaming content, systems, and solutions, is delighted to announce the launch of Gold Fever Fortune™ in the B3/LBO market.

Gold Fever Fortune™ offers the tantalizing possibility of uncovering riches hidden deep within the mines. Players should prepare for an adventure filled with excitement as they watch progressive cash pots grow, uncover Streak Spins promising guaranteed wins or bonus awards, and delve into the Gold Rush Board, where a multitude of cash prizes await discovery.

Landing three bag symbols triggers the coveted Pot Picker Bonus. The aim of the bonus is to match three bag symbols and seize a prize from the bronze, silver, or gold pot. With each spin, the progressive cash pots grow and the game transforms into a mine scene where players encounter three trails adorned with gold, silver, and bronze bags, each holding the promise of hidden treasures. As players make their selections, the excitement mounts, with every discovery contributing to their corresponding trail.

The reels ignite when three or more dynamite symbols land in view to trigger the Streak Spins bonus, where every spin guarantees a win or bonus award. Players detonate a “pick me” symbol to unveil the number of streak spins won. The unchosen symbols will also explode, showing what could have been.

Cash prizes await discovery in the Gold Rush Board bonus. This bonus, awarded by three or more miner scatter symbols, transforms the slot game into a board game. Rolling the dice reveals the number of moves as players navigate the board. Landing on highlighted squares awards cash prizes; lantern squares will illuminate a trail and Gimme Gold squares increase cash value. The “Hazard” squares trigger a miner character pop-up with three outcomes: continue, end bonus, or manic miner (highlighted squares are awarded before returning to the hazard square position).

For an alternative to the base game, players can give Fortune Spins a try. Fortune Spins offers the following prizes: Fortune Spins, Streak Spins, Gold Rush Bonus and Pot Picker Bonus. To kick off the game, players choose from three options: Fortune Spins (1 in 10 chance), Super Fortune Spins (1 in 20 chance) and Mega Fortune Spins (1-50 chance).

The feature begins with a choice of three wagons, each filled with gold, silver, bronze or nothing at all. If three full wagons appear in view, the player must choose a wagon that will reveal an award.

The combination of exciting bonuses with a multi and cash gamble makes for a true gaming adventure sure to delight players.

Stunning new cluster-pays slot introduces BTG’s Bonus Panels mechanic

Trigger Happy is the new highly volatile arcade-style slot from BTG that will be blasting its way onto the Evolution Network from 22 May.

The new cluster-pays slot tips its hat to video arcade games of yore, inviting players to blast a cascade of fluffy critters in a 5X5 grid embedded inside an arcade game mechanism. Meanwhile, the 50,000x win potential ramps up engagement levels to the max. The game also introduces a brand-new Bonus Panels mechanic.

Trigger Happy is a symbol-matching game, where each winning symbol is removed and replaced by new ones falling from above. On every spin and reaction, a target sight will place a wild in a random position on the grid. Meanwhile, two bonus panels could reveal multipliers, bombs or trigger coin bonuses.

When a multiplier aligns with the target symbol’s final position, it will be applied to the wild in that position. When multipliers align in both panels, they are multiplied together for the target wild. When a Bomb appears, it removes all symbols from its row or column and adds up to four wilds.

When a Target’s final position aligns with Trigger Coins in both Bonus Panels, it triggers the free spins round. During free spins, there are double the targets and double the wilds, and landing Trigger Coins in the targets will trigger yet more free spins where multipliers can be up to 10X in value or 100x with Bonus Buy.

Can’t wait to hit the bonus round? Use Win Exchange™ to convert your big wins into free spins. Alternatively, dive straight into the action with Bonus Buy.

Nik Robinson, BTG CEO, said: “You’re in for a critter-exploding, bonus-chasing treat and will have as much fun playing this game as we did while making it. Trigger Happy is a homage to the games we played when we were young. Who knew hanging around arcades playing video games would become an explosive fun experience online!”

With its innovative targeting system and dynamic Bonus-Panel mechanic, this game effortlessly transports the excitement of the arcade right onto your device.”
