The latest addition to the portfolio of independent slots studio Thunderkick is Hot Turkey, a holiday-themed game that embodies the festive spirit of Christmas while offering players the chance to win up to 10,000x their stake.

Cluster Pays mechanism
Hot Turkey features a 7×7 grid with a Cluster Pays mechanism, adorned with symbols such as candy canes, mistletoe, and Christmas gifts. The game incorporates the Avalanche mechanic, where winning combinations trigger symbol replacements to boost payouts.

One of the key features of Hot Turkey is the exploding wilds, which are dropped onto the grid after every Avalanche win. These wilds can either help form new clusters or clear a 3×3 area around them, leaving behind 2x multipliers. When multiple exploding wilds overlap, the multipliers can increase up to 128x, significantly enhancing potential wins.

Free spins
To trigger the bonus round in Hot Turkey, players need to land three hot scatters, which award an initial 10 free spins. During the free spins, any multipliers created by exploding wilds remain sticky for the entire duration of the feature, offering the opportunity to achieve the maximum win of 10,000x the bet amount.

Hot Turkey joins Thunderkick’s growing collection of holiday-themed slots, which includes titles like Midas Golden Touch Christmas Edition and the Esqueleto Explosivo trilogy. The release of Hot Turkey underscores Thunderkick’s commitment to diversifying its game offerings and creating engaging experiences for players worldwide.
Mike Collins, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said:
Christmas is the most widely celebrated global holiday, and we’ve attempted to leverage some of that famous festive cheer in Hot Turkey.
This game sees the return of several fan-favourite features, including Avalanche wins, Exploding Wilds, and Sticky Multipliers. We have combined these with huge 10,000x win potential, themed icons and a merry backing track to create a title we are sure will bring players joy.”
