The new Split Happens slot from Thunderkick offers a “quirky” bowling theme with walking wilds and respins at its centre, the company said.
The wilds award a minimum of two respins whenever reels two, three or four on the 5x3 grid are filled with bowling pin wilds.
Wilds turn into stacked wilds and move one position towards the outside of the reels with each respin.
The Split Happens feature is triggered when a walking stacked wild lands on reel three. This cuts the icon in half and places a stacked wild on both reels two and four before respins commence.
Three bowling ball scatters being collected in the bonus meter triggers the bonus round, with five free spins awarded. During the feature, a multiplier remains in place above the reels, which increases by 1x with each respin and is applied to all wins featuring a stacked wild.
Every time a stacked wild lands, the Power Reset feature resets the free spins counter to five, while retaining the existing multiplier.
Mike Collins, game product owner at Thunderkick, said: “Split Happens is our latest creation that combines whimsical graphics with 3,000x win potential to provide something a little different for players. “In a highly competitive market, embracing themes rarely utilised allows us to stand out as a brand and provide real value for our operator partners.”
