Studio unearths 10,000x win potential with trio of Special Wilds
Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched Archie O’Loggins and the Enchanted Masks, its first release of 2025 that follows a wild explorer into the jungle on a quest to uncover 10,000x maximum wins.
An archaeologist with a passion for explosives takes centre stage in this 7×7 cluster pays slot, where Avalanche wins leave behind one of four Wilds, including three Special Wilds.
Grenade Wilds select one or two low-paying symbols and upgrade all instances of those on the grid into medium or high-paying icons. Dynamite Wilds destroy all occurrences of one low-paying symbol in the base game or two in the bonus, allowing new symbols to drop onto the reels.
Mask Wilds remain sticky and move to a random adjacent position every time they feature in a winning cluster. When two Mask Wilds are present across the grid, the Wild Field feature is activated, transforming all icons within the highlighted area into Regular Wilds. During the bonus game, any archaeologist symbols within the Wild Field receive a cumulative 1x multiplier, helping unlock the 10,000x maximum win.
Archie O’Loggins and the Enchanted Masks features unique comic-book-style graphics, emphasising Thunderkick’s drive to create engaging slots that fuse high-end visuals with feature-rich gameplay and big win potential.
Mike Collins, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “We are kicking off 2025 with Archie O’Loggins and the Enchanted Masks, a story-driven title that accompanies a dynamite-crazed archaeologist on his hunt for treasure.
“This game elevates our Avalanche slots collection, incorporating three new Special Wilds that all offer something a little different to keep gameplay fresh and entertaining – especially the Wild Field feature with its unique method of activation.
“We strive to deliver content that adds value to our partners’ platforms, and we are hopeful this release will do just that.”
