Light & Wonder, Inc. (LNW) celebrates a milestone with the introduction of its inaugural Progressive Product games, Thundering Shenlong and Thundering Gorilla, from Lightning Box, an in-house studio under the Light & Wonder umbrella.
Evolved from Lightning Shenlong and Lightning Gorilla, these titles mark Lightning Box's first foray into the Progressive Product realm, featuring the coveted Grand and Major Jackpot prizes. Players can increase their chances of winning these jackpots by opting for Higher Bet Multipliers, with no limit to the potential jackpot values.
The games also introduce an exciting Upgraded Respin feature activated by harnessing the power of Perceived Persistence within the thunder clouds. Lightning strikes electrify the screen, adding extra Lightning Bolts and triggering respins played across two screens with randomly chosen Active Reels, along with Colossal Lightning Bolts that split into individual bolts to boost prizes.
Retaining key features and symbols from their predecessors, Thundering Shenlong immerses players in Chinese New Year celebrations, while Thundering Gorilla takes players on a thrilling jungle adventure.
Both games offer a Bonus Buy option, allowing players to skip straight to the Bonus Game by staking 50x their bet, providing instant access to the flagship features.
Thundering Shenlong retains its 243 Ways to Win format, while Thundering Gorilla maintains the 40 lines of the original release, ensuring diverse paths to winning opportunities.
Initially launching in New Jersey with prominent operators like BetMGM, FanDuel, Caesars, and DraftKings, Thundering Shenlong and Thundering Gorilla will be accessible through Light & Wonder’s industry-leading OPENGAMING™ platform.
Michael Maokhamphiou, Studio Director at Lightning Box, expressed excitement about the new releases, stating: “Thundering Shenlong and Thundering Gorilla introduce our Progressive Product in a compelling way, with captivating features that are set to resonate with players across various markets.”
Rob Procter, VP of Game Development at Light & Wonder, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the innovative twists and upgrades in the new titles: “Thundering Shenlong and Thundering Gorilla elevate Lightning Box to new heights, offering players thrilling experiences with enhanced features. We anticipate these releases to make a significant impact in the industry.”
