Even in this current, high-tech era of video slots, there is and always should be room in the market for a developer to come up with a great, traditionally-focused slot game. There are plenty of slots UK players can already turn to if they want their fill of traditional-style action, but we all get bored of playing the same thing over and over again. That's why the UK Slot Games library is so big; you'll simply never run out of new things to play! It's hard to come up with a fresh idea or a fresh look for an old classic formula, but Playson has taken their best shot at it with Thunder Reels. We think they've done brilliantly.

Everything about this slot game screams' classic.' You might not have got the slightly-90s backing track of electronic dance music if you were playing a real slot machine in the corner of a pub or a club, but even so, it seems to belong to an earlier age, and helps to build the atmosphere of nostalgia that we presume Playson were looking for. It also sits well with the background, which is a dark and stormy sky full of lightning flashes. Listen out for the occasional roll of thunder, too - you may find that it becomes more persistent when you find a good winning combination.

A classically themed game should have classic symbols in it, and so Playson hasn't disappointed us with what's on the reels. In keeping with the build of old-fashioned physical slot machines, this is a narrow layout of three reels and three rows, containing only nine fixed paylines to aim for. If you were around and playing slot games in the 80s and 90s, you could probably reel off the symbols off the top of your head. If you weren't, then here's what to look out for: A black X is the least valuable symbol, followed by lemons, cherries, oranges, plums, bars, stars, and lucky sevens. The lucky 7 is the most valuable symbol in the Thunder Reels slot, worth 150 times your line bet if three of them turn up in a row. Thunder Reels may not be complicated, but it is generous with its payouts.

There are no wild symbols, scatter symbols, or bonus symbols of any kind.

That's all that can really be said of the base game; it didn't set out to be complicated, and so it isn't. This is somewhere between a modern slot game and a slot machine simulator, designed to take you back in time to an era when slot games were simpler, and you didn't have to worry about flashy animations, complex bonus games, and multiple bonus symbols. It looks authentic for the era it represents, and you know exactly what you're doing with it the moment you look at it. It's simplicity done well.

Because it’s so traditional, it might surprise you to learn that it has a couple of bonus features.

Game Features

If you’re a fan of traditionally-themed UK slots, and you’re worried that the inclusion of bonus features might ruin the game, don’t. What’s been included is gentle and non-intrusive, complementing the base game instead of interfering with it, or taking away from it.

Multiplier

The first of them is the Multiplier. With comparatively few symbols, it’s not out of the question that at some stage, you’ll end up filling all nine spaces on the reels with matching symbols. If and when this occurs, your total prize will be x2 the value of the winning lines. That may not sound like much, but remember that lines of lucky 7 symbols are worth 150x your stake. Add up three sets of that and then double the figure again, and you’re looking at a huge win.

Gamble

The second feature is a staple of many UK slots players will be familiar with, and that’s a Gamble Feature. This feature offers you the chance to double or even quadruple your most recent win. If you’re offered the chance at a gamble and decide to take it, you’ll be presented with a deck of playing cards, face down. All you need to do is predict the color of the next card drawn from the deck, and your winning will double. If you’re feeling especially psychic and believe you can predict the suit instead of the color, those winnings will be multiplied by a factor of four.

All told, Thunder Reels is as true to the look, style, and feel of traditional slot games as it's possible to get in the digital format. The play is smooth and quick, the pair of minor bonus features offer a little extra on top of the formula, and if you like traditional slot games, you're in for a good time if you decide to take it for a spin.

Thunder Reels Developer - Playson

There are many UK slot games providers based out in Malta, and Playson is one of that number. They've been creating games since 2012, but it wasn't until 2015 that they were finally granted a license to supply the lucrative UK slots market. Now, they're considered to be a big name within the industry; especially when it comes to who makes the best traditionally-themed slots. Playson have plenty of them on the market, and always seem to be able to find a new way to present the old classics. On the back of that success, they now have almost eight hundred members of staff, offices in every major gaming market in the world, and products translated into multiple languages. If they can achieve all of this in less than ten years of operation, who knows where they'll be ten years from now?

As well as Thunder Reels, traditionally-themed Playson slots UK players have been drawn to include Imperial Fruits: 5 Lines and Lucky Staxx: 40 Lines, the latter of which plays with the format a little to offer multiple ways to win within a traditional format. To describe them as a classic-only developer would be wrong though; slots like Safari King online slot, Vikings Fortune: Hold and Win, and the incredibly complex Legend of Cleopatra slot show that they can excel away from their usual genre when they feel like it.
