Thunder Screech

Thunder Screech is an animal-themed slot with 5 reels and 10 fixed lines, set in the wild where wilds pour down with a thunderous cry. It was released on February 11, 2021, and you can play the free demo right away with no sign-up.

How is Thunder Screech structured?

It is a video slot with 5 reels and 10 fixed paylines. Wilds substitute for all symbols except scatters and appear only on reels 2, 3, and 4. Most features focus on expanding or strengthening wilds, so among Play’n GO slots it suits players who like wild action. It is a simple line game with wild mechanics packed in tightly.

How do the Call and Strike features differ?

The Call feature triggers at random, adds 5 to 9 wilds, and calculates wins after applying that effect. The Strike feature also triggers at random and upgrades every wild on the screen to a Thunder Wild. One changes the number of wilds and the other changes their quality, so the effect is bigger when they follow each other. If wilds added by Call are then changed by Strike, the screen changes in an instant.

What is special about the Thunder Wild?

Thunder Wilds also appear only on reels 2 to 4 and substitute for all symbols. When one lands, it triggers a respin and stays stuck in place until the multiplier reaches x3. The multiplier starts at x1 and goes up by 1 with each respin, and if a line has several Thunder Wilds, their multipliers add up to as much as x9. When Thunder Wilds sit on the same line, the multiplier grows a lot.

What changes in free spins?

Landing scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 gives you 5 free spins. During the free spins, wilds are upgraded to Thunder Wilds, and at least one Thunder Wild is guaranteed. The Thunder Wild, which you had to wait for as a random feature in the base game, shows up from the start in the free spins. What matters is how much work the Thunder Wilds do in those few spins.

What should I check first in the demo?

RTP is 94.2% and the max win is 5,000x your bet. There is no official volatility figure, so get a feel for it yourself in the demo. It helps to check how often Call and Strike trigger, and whether you see Thunder Wild respins where several overlap on the same line and get close to x9. Also keep an eye on how often free spins trigger.
