Thunderkick takes a swing towards big thrills with 12 Bolts of Thunder
Independent slots studio Thunderkick is calling on players to grab the hammer and swing with 12 Bolts of Thunder, its newest release.
Set in the skies amidst white clouds and a beautiful blue backdrop, the slot presents a 5×4 game grid where symbols including classic slot icons must make winning combinations across 20 paylines to award a win. Wild symbols can also appear across any reels, substituting for all symbols except the Bonus and Hammer.
Hammer symbols can appear on the second, third and fourth reels, awarding Hammer wins when four or more land on a single spin. The size of the win depends on the amount of Hammers that land, with players awarded between 2x and 1,000x their bet.
Three or more Bonus symbols landing will trigger the Bonus Game, with a select number of Free Spins awarded to the player depending on how many Bonus symbols land. Here, any Hammer wins that occur will upgrade each multiplier upon the Hammer Paytable, with chances to reach 30,000x the player’s bet.
The release also features a Bonus Buy option, allowing players in select jurisdictions to trigger the free spins bonus round for a cost of 100x their base bet.
12 Bolts of Thunder marks the first game of 2024 for Thunderkick, following multiple acclaimed titles last year including Hellapenos and Hot Potato. The provider is gearing up for a monumental year, with entry into more regulated markets on the horizon alongside further releases that are set to contribute to its continued growth.
Mike Collins, Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “Lightning is set to strike in 12 Bolts of Thunder, our new slot that invites players to climb the Hammer paytable towards monumental wins.
“With plenty of exciting features such as the aforementioned Hammer pay system, alongside a powerful Bonus Game with chances to boost multipliers up to 30,000x your bet, this is the first of many dynamic and forward-thinking titles from Thunderkick this year.”

Spinmatic launches Elemental Fusion Deluxe with instant Plinko bonus triggers
Spinmatic has launched Elemental Fusion Deluxe, a new slot built around instant access to its Plinko mechanic from the base game, the supplier said. The title was announced on 9 June 2026 from Malta.
Elemental Fusion Deluxe runs on a 5×3 layout with 25 fixed paylines. Spinmatic lists the game as medium-high volatility with a 96.04% RTP and 39.49% hit frequency.
The game’s feature set includes Gold Wilds, which can appear on any reel and substitute for standard symbols (excluding the Special Plinko Symbol and the Special Element Elixir Symbols). Spinmatic also says base gameplay uses “Instant Elixir Multipliers” linked to Fire, Earth, Water, Air, and Galaxy symbols.
Instead of an accumulator-style collection mechanic, the Plinko Feature Trigger activates when three dedicated trigger symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5, launching a random Plinko bonus. Spinmatic says the Plinko bonus is split into four elemental modes after a selection wheel sets a starting pool of 10 to 100 balls: Water Plinko (low volatility, Mini Jackpot), Air Plinko (medium volatility, Midi Jackpot), Earth Plinko (high volatility, Maxi Jackpot), and Fire Plinko (very high volatility, Grand Jackpot), played on a 16-row pyramid.
The company framed the release around reducing time-to-feature: “In a market where a split-second delay can lose a player, the quality of your content delivery determines your bottom line.”

. The games were announced June 9, 2026 and are powered by the company’s Hybrid Dealer® format and its Cash Bank

Groove confirms SBC Summit Americas 2026 attendance in Fort Lauderdale
Groove will attend SBC Summit Americas 2026, taking place June 9–11 at the Broward County Convention Centre in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company said its leadership team will be on site, including Co-Founder and CEO Yahale Meltzer and Business Development Director Giusy Campo, to meet operators, regulators, and affiliates.
The appearance follows Groove’s participation at SiGMA Asia in Manila, where the company said it joined a panel on regulatory resilience in the “Jurisdiction Jungle”. In Fort Lauderdale, Groove plans to continue discussions focused on navigating fragmented regulatory environments across North and Latin America.
Giusy Campo, Business Development Director at Groove, said: “When we move into a new region, we don’t arrive empty-handed. We come with a platform built on structural resilience: predictive auto-scaling, atomic transactions, and a real-time compliance mesh that adapts to jurisdictional demands, not the other way around. Operators in the Americas face many of the same pressures as their counterparts in Asia: banking scrutiny, shifting regulations, and the need for flawless execution. Our ‘Unseen Architecture’ was built for exactly this moment.” She added: “They need a partner whose platform won’t introduce compliance or operational risk into their business. That’s what we deliver. From Manila to Miami, the questions are the same. And we have the answers.”
Groove said it enters the event after what it described as a “transformative 2025,” including securing a license to operate in Brazil and establishing regulated activity in Argentina, alongside expansion across Europe, Africa, and Asia. The company also said it offers “over 15,000 games from more than 150 providers unified through a single API.”
Meltzer said: “We don’t do ‘one-off’ events. We build continuous relationships across the markets that matter. Asia was about demonstrating structural resilience in the face of fragmentation. The Americas require the same rigour: a platform that can scale from a single operator in Argentina to a national lottery in Brazil without breaking compliance or trust. Our nomination in Manila wasn’t an endpoint. It was a signal. Now we take that signal to Fort Lauderdale, where the real work begins.” He also pointed to Groove’s offices in Israel, Georgia, and Malta, and its 24/7 multilingual support team as part of its operating model.
