History and Evolution

The Thunder Coins slot game was developed by Lightning Slots, a leading casino game creator known for its electric and innovative slot titles. The Hold and Win mechanic used in Thunder Coins was first introduced by Lightning Slots in 2020 with their Storm Fortunes game. This unique feature which pauses spins to lock symbols and trigger bonuses proved extremely popular with players. Following the success of Storm Fortunes, Lightning Slots decided to develop an entire series of Hold and Win games, with Thunder Coins being the latest addition in 2023. By combining the high-voltage excitement of their Storm slots with the suspense-building Hold and Win system, Lightning Slots has created its most electrifying game yet in Thunder Coins. Players can look forward to more innovative and thrilling Hold and Win game releases from Lightning Slots in the future.

Gameplay Mechanics

Thunder Coins: Hold and Win is played on a 5×3 reel set with 20 fixed paylines. To start, players select their bet level from 1 to 10 which sets the coin value. They then choose how many coins to wager per line, from 1 to 10. This creates a minimum bet of 20 coins and maximum bet of 2000 coins. The base game has rolling reels where winning symbols explode to allow new icons to fall into place as potential new wins. Anytime the reels display a full stack of identical symbols, they are held in place while the rest re-spin up to 4 more times. Having more held elements trigger the free spins or a jackpot prize. Getting 3+ scatters starts the Thunder Storm bonus, where players collect coins to reveal instant cash prizes or free spins. Hitting wild symbols in bonus rounds can also award mystery cash prizes.
