The Rift – New Thunderkick slot!

Thunderkick has been busy over the last few months making their older slot titles compatible with mobile devices, but the great news is that this period seems to be over, and a new slot release titled The Rift is imminent, with a mobile and desktop release date of the 4th May 2016 scheduled.

We suggest keeping an eye on Casumo Casino and several of our other recommended online casinos on this date who should hopefully have this slot live and playable on release day (fingers crossed!).

The Rift is another impressive slot from Thunderkick set in a dark alley with the reels of magical style symbols entering the rift as you spin the reels. As you would expect from Thunderkick the visuals are fantastic and the slot plays really smoothly, along with an innovative free spins bonus round and mini-feature to look out for, and what we are terming Semi-Sticky Wilds in the main bonus round to add to the excitement and win potential.

The Rift Slot Mechanics

The Rift is a 17 fixed payline slot, using a regular 5×3 reel layout, in the base game there are regular wild symbols and a special Rift Scatter symbol, landing 3 of these symbols or more will trigger the free spins bonus round, but landing just 2 will trigger a Rift Spin.

Rift Spin

A Rift Spin occurs on a 2 scatter trigger, this is basically a re-spin of the reels with a random amount (1-3) Wilds added onto the reels.

3 or more of the Rift Scatter symbols trigger the main bonus round which awards anywhere from 10 up to 20 free spins depending on the number of scatter symbols that landed (3-5).

Rift Bonus Game

The main free spins round is where this online slot really comes into it’s own, we did mention Sticky Wilds earlier, but there is a twist, the Sticky Wilds which land or get added to the reels only remain stuck when they do not form any payline wins.

This particular slot mechanic means it may actually but much more rewarding for the Sticky Wilds to land on the furthest reels initially allowing them to stack up before a really big win drops in.

The other main mechanic occurs when additional scatters land on the reels, behind the reels you will see The Rift Seal, as additional scatters land on the reels you will progress around this seal (9 steps in total), which not only adds additional Sticky Wilds to the reels but also 2 extra free spins at each checkpoint.

Normally slot developers generally only reveal the slots RTP to players, but there is a lot more information available from Thunderkick which we will simply list below for those that like to seek out as much information about slots as possible.
