Belatra Games, renowned for its expertise in online slot development, has launched a festive delight this holiday season – Winter Thunder.
Transporting players from the sun-scorched plains of the U.S. to a snow-dusted, wintery world, Winter Thunder immerses them in an enchanting setting, surrounded by frosty forests and snow-covered canyons. Along the way, players will encounter a range of majestic wildlife, including lynxes, eagles, and bears, with the star of the show being the white wolf, which acts as the Wild symbol. This powerful symbol can expand to cover two reel positions, replacing other symbols, and will continue spinning if only part of it lands, completing the symbol.
The mountain symbol serves as the Scatter, triggering free games when at least three appear on the reels. The total number of free spins equals the original number of Scatter symbols plus any additional Scatter symbols at the bottom of the screen. During the free spins round, more free spins can be triggered, with a maximum of 40 available. The Global Multiplier is equal to the total number of bonus spins, and all wins during these rounds are multiplied accordingly.
Despite the cold surroundings, there’s a Hot Mode feature that activates when five Scatter symbols land, offering players a chance to win up to 12,000 times their bet.
In the main game, uncovering six or more credit symbols activates the Hold-and-Win Bonus, where players are given three mini-reel spins with winter-themed prizes. These credit symbols determine the total win, and there are four types: credit, bonus, extra bonus, and empty. The credit symbol triggers a win, the bonus symbol multiplies the win by a factor ranging from 20x to 100x, and the extra bonus symbol rewards a mini, minor, major, or grand bonus.
A standout feature in the Hold-and-Win Bonus is the lightning strike, which electrifies one of the reels, triggering an extra spin to boost potential winnings. Players can also use the Bet+100% feature to increase their stake, boosting the frequency of bonus rounds and the Hold-and-Win bonus. For those who want to jump straight into the action, Belatra’s Buy Bonus option is available.
Sergey Chernyavski, CCO of Belatra Games, commented:
“This is the perfect time of year to invite players into the enchanting tundra with our holiday hit, Winter Thunder. This game brings a festive twist to the wild American wilderness, where lynxes, eagles, bears, and, of course, the mighty wolf play key roles.”
