Thunderkick is another Swedish gambling software manufacturer that is related to the industry leader NetEnt. The developer appeared on the market in 2012 and already in the first five years of his activity he managed to declare himself loudly and gain authority. The main specialization of Thunderkick AB is the development of online slots. The provider has succeeded in this, having managed to impress many brands in the niche, which end up using the manufacturer's products.
This company was founded in 2012 by the former designers of the Swedish gambling giant Net Entertainment. Similarly, 3-4 more companies appeared in the industry.
At first, the Thunderkick team consisted of only eight people. The principle "Quality is more important than quantity" was immediately chosen as fundamental. In the first two years, the startup team grew to only nine people, but a portfolio of eight games was developed.
The excellent graphics and funny plot of the developer's slots attracted the interest of the Unibet brand. At the same time, Thunderkick games were added to the online casino sites of the Unibet PLC group (now Kindred). It was a breakthrough for a small developer, after which recognition came to him.
By the end of 2015, a dozen large online casinos ordered products from Thunderkick. Among them are the same Mr.Green, LeoVegas, William Hill. Last but not least, this is due to the conclusion of a partnership agreement with the NYX platform in 2014.
Since 2016, brands that use the company's software have received about a dozen awards at prestigious gambling awards: IGA, EGR Operator Awards. The provider's delegation visits ICE exhibitions and other industry events. And in 2017, the provider received the first independent awards at the Videoslots Awards (Malta): "Best Mobile Online Slot" (Flame Busters), "Best Low Volatility Game" (Frog Grog).
Since 2013, the company has been licensed by the Malta Gaming Commission. Thunderkick has offices in Malta and Stockholm. Also, over the past few years, the provider has managed to conclude partnership deals with SoftSwiss and EveryMatrix, which opened access to the developer's games to even more gamblers.
The company has its own personnel policy. They do not publish positions for applicants, but analyze the value of each individual candidate in terms of the benefits that he can bring to the studio.
So far, the provider is focused exclusively on the release of online slots, which allows him to sell unusual and unique products. The portfolio contains about three dozen games. From the very beginning, the company has been producing HTML5 automata that are easily adapted to all devices and browsers.
Due to the flexible framework, this Swedish company manages to embed a lot of animations and visual effects into their products. Take at least the same Fruit Warp slot, which has neither paylines nor reels. And the fruits (symbols) just “fly out” onto the screen from somewhere out of the abyss. Oddly enough, this innovation really liked the audience.
Slots are often "humorous", which can be understood even from the design of the section of the company's website with demo versions of products, where there is a smiling sheep and an asterisk. Since all slots were released after 2012, their RTP is above 95%. The most generous machine in the line has a 98.6% return, which is one of the highest in the entire industry.
Thunderkick online casino has already released over 20 original slots, among which there are even some hits.
One of the provider's most popular slots is Uncharted Seas, which was released back in 2015. The slot has not yet lost its relevance due to interesting gameplay and the highest level of return (98.5%). This is a game in which various mythological creatures and accessories act as symbols. Features include a latching savage and a free spins mode. Spins are made on 25 constantly active lines.
Babushkas is a slot with an unusual name for the Russian-speaking population. In fact, this game is dedicated to nesting dolls. This is a very dynamic slot with a 5x3 playing field and 17 constantly active lines. The machine has an unusual functionality. There are special wild symbols here, which either “pump” other symbols on the reels (there are four levels in total), or give the player 7 free spins. If all the elements on the coils are pumped to one level, then they will automatically upgrade to the next one.
Barber Shop Uncut is perhaps the only machine in the entire industry that is dedicated to a barber shop or a hairdresser. As always, there was a place for humor in the slot. Symbols like a bearded redhead or a mustachioed barber add to the entourage of the game. The slot has a respin, which is activated when three mustachioed barber symbols appear on the reels, fixed in one place. Also, the gambler can win up to 30 free spins, during which the winnings are tripled. As in the rest of the Thunderkick games, animation is heavily used here.
All slots of the manufacturer are equipped with a convenient tool for personalizing the automatic game. You can specify the number of autospins and stop spins when you win.
Thunderkick is an ambitious and interesting manufacturer that specializes exclusively in the release of HTML5 slots. Such a narrow specialization helps the studio to sell original, fresh and high-quality slot machines.
The number of online casinos cooperating with the company is growing every year. Now such brands use Thunderkick software: Betsson, Bet365, SlotsMillion, BetSafe, Monte Carlo, William Hill, Play Fortuna and many others. Collapse
