Independent slots studio Thunderkick has recently launched its newest game, King of the Party. This latest release combines feature-rich gameplay with visually impressive graphics to create an engaging experience for players.
Wild animals
The reels of King of the Party are populated with various animals such as lions, hyenas, lynx, lizards, and pigs. Each animal is depicted wearing retro sunglasses and adorned with jewelry. These animals serve as the mid to high-paying symbols, with the lion being the most valuable.
Scatter Pays mechanic
The game features the popular Scatter Pays mechanic, where players can win by landing eight matching symbols anywhere on the 6×5 reel set. Each win triggers an avalanche, where the winning symbols are replaced with new ones, giving players the chance to score multiple wins with a single spin.
Furthermore, with each winning combination, a global multiplier displayed beneath the reels increases by one. If the winning symbols feature an Overlay Multiplier, the values are accumulated and added to the global multiplier, resulting in a larger payout for the player.
Free spins bonus
The excitement reaches its peak in the bonus game, which is activated when three or more Scatter symbols, represented by a gold record, land on the grid. The existing global multiplier carries over into the free spins feature, where exploding wilds are introduced.
In the free spins feature, any wild symbol that does not contribute to a win will explode, removing all symbols on the same row and column. This triggers a new avalanche and increases the chances of landing more wins.
King of the Party also offers the Feature Buy option in permitted markets, allowing players to guarantee entry to the bonus game. Additionally, the Bet+ option enhances the potential of triggering the feature, giving players more control over their gaming experience.
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.”

Summary
King of the Party slot is Thunderkick's attempt at the rave or dance scene with beat music and characters of cartoon animals. You get paid for 8+ scattered symbols including any Wilds on the 5x6 grid with tumbles after wins. Each tumble increases the round multiplier by 1x or more if an overlaid multiplier is used on any winning tile. The best pays are for 12+ scattered and these are 50x bet down to 1x with up to six scatters possible in a play. Three of them will get you 10 free spins with 5 more spins for each over three. You get extra spins for two or more duing the round and now unused Wilds will explode across row and column, adding any unused multipliers they cross to the total but leaving any scatters in view. The multiplier doesn't reset here which may help you dance your way to the maximum pay of 5,000x bet.
