“I’m Mia, live at the edge of an unprecedented storm.” PG Soft’s July 20 announcement of its new release opens like a weather reporter’s field report. The game is called Tornado Rampage. Mia, a reporter with an inverted umbrella and a startled look, is the face of the game.
Reels that bulge in the middle
The board shape is unusual. It has five reels, but each reel has a different height. Reels 1 and 5 have 3 rows, reels 2 and 4 have 4 rows, and the middle reel 3 has 5 rows. Seen from above, it forms a diamond shape that bulges in the middle. It is as if the tornado’s vortex was translated into the board shape.
Moving wilds, rising multipliers
The key is the moving wild. The wild travels around the board, and the multiplier rises each time it moves. In any base game spin, if one or more golden wilds land, the respin feature triggers. Wins that include a golden wild get a multiplier of 2x or higher.
PG Soft puts it as “the stronger the storm, the bigger the opportunity.” The more the wilds move, the more the multiplier builds, and the longer the respins go on, the bigger the board gets. The max win is 5,000x.
The structure where golden wilds open respins creates the fun of the board continuing one spin after another. During respins, the wilds change position and grow the multiplier, so the longer a respin run lasts, the bigger the win. With the middle reel being the longest, a wild entering the middle hits the most combinations.
PG Soft’s announcement did not state the exact number of respins or the multiplier cap. The official material also doesn’t say how much the multiplier rises each time a wild moves. For the actual flow, it’s more accurate to check the game rules in the demo screen.
Storm presentation
PG Soft particularly emphasized the audiovisual presentation in this title. From the first screen, there are swirling clouds, lightning, and a tornado covering the horizon. During play, a raging sky and electric effects keep moving around the reels, and a tension-building soundtrack follows every spin.
PG Soft builds its games for vertical smartphone screens from the start. A board that bulges in the middle suits a vertical screen especially well. The company says every game is dual-certified by BMM and GA. BMM is an international testing lab that verifies RNG and game math.
A max of 5,000x is not a big number. Instead, PG Soft games generally have a high RTP of around 96.7% and flashy visuals, and Tornado Rampage follows that formula. Details like debris from collapsed buildings, flying cars, and caution tape keep filling the space around the reels.
Within PG Soft’s summer lineup
Tornado Rampage followed Monkeys Wild Party in late June, and two weeks later Farmstead Fortune came next. PG Soft releases a new game about every two weeks, and the theme changes a lot each time: from a jungle festival to a storm, then to a farm. In the fall, Thunder Reckoning and Grimm’s Bounty followed.
RTP is 96.77%, slightly above the industry average. The 5,000x max win is mid-range within PG Soft’s lineup. This is a game to enjoy for the process of wilds moving and growing the multiplier rather than for the big number. You can try it right away in the free demo.
