Light & Wonder roars into action with Thundering Tiger

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Light & Wonder, Inc. has gone live with Thundering Tiger, the fifth edition in the Thundering franchise from specialist slot provider Lightning Box, taking players deep into the heart of the jungle with roaring jackpots and immersive features.

Set across a 3x5 reel grid with 243 ways to win, Thundering Tiger sees an array of exotic predators fill the reels, with the classic gameplay significantly boosted with the Upgraded Respins feature, a unique perceived persistence mechanic that adds an extra 3x5 reel grid boosting payout potential.

Players can trigger the Respins feature by landing six or more Lightning Bolt symbols, with lightning strikes activating dynamic reel areas that award instant prizes. Each additional Lightning Bolt within the active area resets the counter to three, increasing the thrill as players aim for big wins.

Colossal Lightning Bolts can also appear during these Respins, splitting into individual symbols to further enhance prizes. This feature is linked to the Thundering series’ Progressive Major and Grand Jackpots, offering added opportunities for players to score huge payouts.

Landing three or more Scatter Ruby symbols unlocks the Free Games feature, awarding 8, 15, or 30 spins depending on the number of scatters. During this round, Colossal 2x2 and 3x3 symbols appear, to further increase winnings. Players can also retrigger the Free Games round as they travel through the jungle in search of big wins.

Designed to captivate players, Thundering Tiger blends its immersive jungle theme with an exclusive soundtrack and vivid nighttime visuals, appealing to a broad audience of players.

Thundering Tiger is a Light & Wonder title available exclusively for online players at DraftKings in New Jersey, Michigan, and Ontario.

Michael Maokhamphiou, Studio Director at Lightning Box, said: “Thundering Tiger delivers a dynamic mix of gripping gameplay and visually stunning mechanics. The combination of Upgraded Respins, retriggerable Free Games, and Progressive Jackpots ensures this title will resonate with players seeking large wins and unforgettable adventures.”
