Belatra unveils Winter Thunder title
Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has unveiled its festive treat this holiday season, Winter Thunder.
Swapping the arid US plains for a wintery wonderland, Winter Thunder carries players into an enchanting atmosphere surrounded by snow-covered canyons and frosty forests. Players will be joined in the wilderness by lynxes, eagles, bears, and, the star of the show, the white wolf. This represents the Wild symbol replacing symbols and covering two reel positions. If only part of the symbol lands, the reel keeps turning until it is completed.
A mountain symbol represents the Scatter and will launch free games when at least three are uncovered on the reels. The number of free spins is equal to the total of the original Scatter symbols added to the corresponding symbols at the bottom. During the round, additional free spins can be accrued, enhancing the chance of a win – the maximum is 40. The Global Multiplier equals the total number of bonus spins, and every win during the free rounds is multiplied by the total displayed.
Despite the frosty surroundings, there is a Hot Mode in-play that activates when five Scatter symbols hit. The maximum win potential is 12000x the bet.
Six or more credit symbols uncovered in the main game will bring players into the Hold-and-Win Bonus that has three wintery mini-reel spins. Credit symbols determine the total win and there are four types, including credit, bonus, extra bonus and empty.
The credit symbol returns a win, the bonus one will multiply the win by a total ranging from 20x to 100x and the extra will return a mini, minor, major, or grand extra bonus. A special element in the Hold-and-Win Bonus is the lightning strike, which has the power to electrify one of the reels and trigger an additional spin to increase returns. Players have the option to increase their stake with the Bet+100% feature, which will amplify the frequency of prize games and the Hold-and-Win bonus landing. For those eager to dive into the features sooner, Belatra’s Buy Bonus option is available.
Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “This is the perfect time of year to invite players into the enchanting tundra with our holiday hit, Winter Thunder. This game brings a festive twist to the wild American wilderness, where lynxes, eagles, bears, and, of course, the mighty wolf play key roles.”

Gambling Zone rolls out casino comparison tool for UK players
Interactive feature lets users compare licensed UK online casinos by bonuses, games, payout times and Gambling Zone ratings.
Gambling Zone has launched the Gambling Zone Casino Comparison Tool, a new feature aimed at helping UK players compare online casinos in one place.
The tool allows side-by-side comparisons of “trusted UK online casinos,” pulling together information including casino bonuses, free spins, game selection and payout times. Gambling Zone also assigns each casino an overall rating based on its review process, giving users a single view for assessing differences between brands.
Michael Vella, Brand Manager at Gambling Zone, said: “Choosing an online casino shouldn’t mean opening dozens of browser tabs just to compare bonuses, wagering requirements or withdrawal times. We wanted to build a tool that puts all of the important information in one place, making it quicker and easier for players to compare licensed operators and decide which one is right for them.
“The comparison tool is another step in our commitment to creating genuinely useful resources for players. Alongside our expert reviews and casino guides, it’s designed to give users greater transparency and confidence when choosing where to play.”
Gambling Zone said the launch is part of a wider strategy to build practical decision-support tools alongside its reviews, guides and educational content. The Casino Comparison tool is now live.
