Games Global and its dedicated partner, Stormcraft Studios, have launched an exciting new installment in the fan-favorite Thunderstruck™ series, blending elements from the popular Thunderstruck™ and Gold Blitz™ brands. With Thunderstruck™ Gold Blitz™ Extreme, players can dive into a world of mythical adventure alongside Thor, the Viking god, while benefiting from innovative features like the Gold Blitz™ cash collection and the Rising Rewards™ jackpot.
Terence Igesund from Stormcraft Studios believes that this latest title in the popular series will resonate well with both new and seasoned players. A perfect combination of engaging theme and top-performing features is set to capture any player’s attention.
A Mythic Adventure with High-Powered Wins
Stormcraft Studios, exclusively partnered with Games Global, has designed Thunderstruck™ Gold Blitz™ Extreme to continue its legacy of combining thrilling gameplay with captivating themes.
Set within a vibrant scene filled with electrifying symbols like rocks, crystals, and lightning bolts, this new title invites players back into the mythical Norse universe. The game takes place over six reels, providing a high-stakes environment where players can interact with Thor’s thunderous power while pursuing significant winnings.
In the base game, players have the opportunity to collect cash prizes with every spin. When a Blitz symbol appears on either reel one or six, it triggers the Gold Blitz™ feature, instantly gathering all cash symbols displayed on the reels. Additionally, if Blitz symbols appear on both reels without any cash symbols present, players receive a respin that guarantees a cash prize.
The game’s bonus structure becomes even more engaging with the introduction of scatter symbols, which add a new dimension to the winning potential. Landing two scatter symbols in the base game increases the bonus multiplier by 0.5x, capping at a maximum of 5x. This multiplier then applies to all winnings during the Gold Blitz™ and FS rounds, enhancing each play session's excitement and rewards.
When players land three or more scatter symbols, they unlock a bonus choice, granting them the flexibility to choose between two rewarding options: FS with multiplier wilds or the chance to engage in Gold Blitz™ cash collect spins. With a maximum win potential of 5,500x, players can experience legendary payouts as they traverse this myth-inspired adventure.
Rising Rewards™ Jackpot: An Added Boost for Cash Symbols
One of Thunderstruck™ Gold Blitz™ Extreme's defining features is the Rising Rewards™ jackpot, which offers a twist on traditional jackpot mechanics.
This feature activates on any spin that lands a cash symbol without a corresponding Blitz icon. Accumulated tokens provide players with a chance to trigger one of four different jackpots, including the Mega jackpot, which awards a payout up to 5,000x. This added jackpot layer reinforces the game’s thrilling nature and promises rewarding surprises with each spin.
Commenting on the release, Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, expressed his excitement about another successful cooperation between GG and one of its independent studios:
“We are thrilled to debut Thunderstruck™ Gold Blitz™ Extreme alongside our exclusive partner, Stormcraft Studios. This game is a testament to our passion for creating both captivating and innovative games with incredible graphics, and we can’t wait to see how players interact with our latest title.”
Kings of Crystals II: Legendary Monarchs Return for Riches
A day before Thunderstruck™ Gold Blitz™ Extreme debuted, Games Global, in collaboration with ALL FOR ONE Studios, launched Kings of Crystals II, the eagerly awaited sequel to its well-loved predecessor. This follow-up title builds on the success of the original by expanding its FS and reintroducing the mighty POWER COMBO mechanic, enhancing gameplay depth and elevating the player experience.
Set across a 5x4 grid, Kings of Crystals II follows ancient monarchs on a journey through a world of crystal-based riches. Each of the game’s three colored crystals — red, green, and blue — unlocks a specific FS feature, each tailored to a different type of reward.
Red crystals increase the number of wild reels, green crystals enhance jackpots by expanding Mini, Minor, and Major prizes, and blue crystals raise multipliers, potentially reaching a staggering 15x. As players accumulate these crystals, the impact of each FS feature intensifies, making each playthrough feel progressively rewarding.
