Thunderkick returns for an even fierier fiesta in Carnival Queen 2

Expanding reels reveal up to 117,649 ways to win in revamped sequel
Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched Carnival Queen 2, a sequel to its vibrant Mardi Gras-inspired street party, where a new reel structure combines with an infinite multiplier to unveil 25,000x win potential.
Building on the original with a new grid layout, the height of each reel can change at random from two to seven symbols, providing from 5,040 up to a maximum of 117,649 ways to win.
The Avalanche mechanic retains its prominence in the new iteration, replacing winning symbols and levelling up the multiplier by 1x, which can increase indefinitely should combinations keep landing.
The Exploding Wild also makes a return, however this time, firing up both base and bonus game potential. It removes all symbols vertically and one at random from every other reel, as well as increasing the height of its own reel, enhancing the number of paylines.
Landing three scatters activates the bonus round with 12 free spins, during which the height of each reel and multiplier do not reset between spins, bolstering win potential.
Carnival Queen 2 reflects Thunderkick’s expertise in crafting successful game franchises that leverage popular themes and mechanics to generate long-term player value and customer loyalty for operators.
Johannes Polbring, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said: “More than six years have passed since we launched the original Carnival Queen, which remains a strong performer in Thunderkick’s portfolio. We felt the time was right to refresh a fan-favourite.
“This sequel introduces more base game action, a brand-new expanding reels grid structure, and even bigger win potential, while preserving the electric fiesta atmosphere that made the first release such a success.”

The studio shares its expansion, plans, and new developments
The ELA Games team has successfully concluded its attendance at SBC Lisbon, where the studio showcased its latest game launches, expansion plans, and roadmap going forward.
During the three-day summit, guests visited ELA Games’ booth to demo new exciting titles, such as Buffalo Force and Shoot Happens, directly on mobile devices at a special installation. The installation highlighted the studio’s cross-platform capabilities, which allow players to enjoy a seamless gaming experience across both mobile and desktop.
New Games on Display
The team spotlighted several new developments. Buffalo Force, a visually rich journey across the North American plains, drew strong attention for its art style and immersiveness, alongside engaging Hold & Win mechanics. The studio’s latest and boldest release, Shoot Happens, took centre stage due to its implementation of the Winpot mechanic in an action-packed instant shooter format. Visitors were drawn to the decision-making aspect of the game as they managed when to cash out and when to continue, as well as facing off several increasingly more valuable monsters and a recurring boss feature for big rewards.
Beside the mobile installation was a special claw machine where visitors could win prizes, nodding to ELA Games’ trademark title Cash Crab. These unique displays were impactful attractions that showed the studio’s creative ability to realise its development philosophy in engaging ways.
Expanding Market Reach
SBC Lisbon was a chance for the team to catch up with valuable partners and network with new connections. The team celebrated key expansion milestones, securing market entries in Sweden, Denmark, Greece, and Serbia. Along with these new market entries came the announcement of new key partnerships to help expand reach and visibility to new player bases.
Roadmap Ahead
The ELA Games team also shared the studio’s roadmap going forward with key partners, outlining its ambitious plans for the year ahead. It shared details and sneak previews of upcoming games, such as Piñatas Fiesta, Cash Train, and Witche’s Book, titles that contribute to the studio’s balanced portfolio mixing creativity, unique gameplay mechanics, and its signature visually rich art style.
Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director, commented on the studio’s attendance at the summit, “SBC Lisbon was an incredible opportunity to connect with existing and new partners and share all the new developments we’ve worked on behind the scenes. From the debut of our exciting new games like Buffalo Force and Shoot Happens to meaningful conversations about our expansion plans and roadmap, this event showed us how far ELA Games has come and where we’re headed next.”
