Thunderkick wields the Sword of Shoguns in exciting slot sequel
Follow-up to the popular Sword of Khans features innovative new mechanics and bonuses
Independent slots studio Thunderkick is calling on players to wield a mighty ancient weapon in Sword of Shoguns, its highly-anticipated slot sequel.
The follow-up to the renowned game Sword of Khans, this 6-reel slot builds upon the world of its predecessor with a beautiful design, an engaging soundtrack and thrilling mechanics, joining recent release Jiggly Cash as the latest addition to Thunderkick’s expansive portfolio.
Sword of Shoguns transports players to a Japanese temple, where they’re challenged to take up the weapon and prove their worth. Exciting new features, including random reel heights, 5,040 pay ways and expanding symbols, add even more chances to win big.
A high-paying Shogun symbol can land on the reels during gameplay, alongside other icons such as helmets, armour and fans. These must form a matching combination across the reels to unlock a win.
The Sword symbol also returns, acting as both a Scatter and a Wild. Landing three of these Swords will trigger the Bonus Game, awarding at least five free spins in which a random Expanding symbol is chosen throughout the round’s duration.
Up to four of these Expanding symbols can be won during the Bonus, with chances for players to retrigger the round and enjoy up to seven extra Free Spins for boosted win potential.
Building upon the critical and commercial acclaim of the original whilst augmenting some of the title’s core features, Sword of Shoguns boasts mechanical ingenuity and player-focused gameplay, and is the latest in a string of recent hits for the provider.
Commenting on the release, Mike Collins, Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “We’re thrilled to be following up one of our most popular slots with Sword of Shoguns, an incredible title with big winning potential.
With random reel heights, expanding symbols, a mighty Free Spins round and a top prize of 25,200x a player’s bet, we’re keen for people to wield the sword and have a blast!”

ICONIC21 launches Private Edition Blackjack with a single-player 7-seat live table
ICONIC21 has launched Private Edition Blackjack, a live table game built around a single-player format. The company said the table is reserved entirely for one player and supports up to seven hands played simultaneously.
Private Edition Blackjack uses a seven-seat table model with a high minimum bet requirement, positioning it at VIP and high-value segments. ICONIC21 said players can request a dealer change, request a shoe change, or choose to keep their current dealer.
The product also adds ICONIC21’s integrated LED Studio technology. According to the company, a built-in LED screen enables operators to change background visuals to support campaigns, partnerships, events, or player segmentation.
Edvardas Sadovskis, Chief Product Officer at ICONIC21, said: “Private Edition Blackjack brings a much stronger sense of ownership to the live blackjack experience. Players are not simply joining a seat – they take full control of the table, playing up to seven hands and shaping the session through dealer and shoe preferences.
For VIP and high-value players, engagement is everything. This format ensures the dealer’s full attention is dedicated to a single player, creating a more personal and immersive experience. With extended decision time and no need to accommodate others at the table, players can control the pace of the game and play entirely on their own terms.”
