Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNW) (together with its subsidiaries, “Light & Wonder” or “L&W”) has released Thunder Drums™ Leaping Lions, a popular land-based slot successfully ported online by specialist studio Lightning Box.
Set against traditional temples and dramatic skies, the vibrant title brings its iconic Asian theme to an iGaming audience, promising exciting gameplay and rewarding mechanics. The 3×5 reel grid offers 243 ways to win, inviting players to experience the thrill of bold features and rhythmic drumbeats as they spin the reels, setting the scene for potential big payouts.
The 3 Pot Persistence mechanic is central to the slot’s dynamic gameplay, where Red, Green, and Blue Scatter Coins trigger engaging features when they match the colours of the three thunder drums at the top of the screen. Each different coloured drum unlocks unique features, delivering a fresh spin on persistence mechanics.
Landing five or more Gold Coins activates the Free Games feature, resetting the respins counter to three with every Scattered Gold Drum that appears. If Blue Coin or Green Coin lands with the five Gold Coins, Thunder Prize will be added at the beginning of the feature. One or more Red Coin may trigger the Bonus Feature. Picking three matching symbols unlocks one of four jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major, Grand.
For an added twist, matching three multi coloured Bolts upgrades the jackpot prizes with an opportunity to win the Double Grand, delivering even more excitement and larger reward when four multi coloured bolts appear as the Double Grand is awarded. With expanding wilds and jackpots that reach up to 5,000x, Thunder Drums™ Leaping Lions combines oriental aesthetics with high-volatility gameplay for an unforgettable slot experience.
Thunder Drums™ Leaping Lions is a Light & Wonder title available exclusively for online players at Draft Kings in New Jersey, Michigan, and Ontario.
Michael Maokhamphiou, Operations Manager at Lightning Box, mentioned:
