Deeper progression mechanics level up win potential to 14,000x

 Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched Pink Elephants Trinity, the third instalment of its mystical franchise, where six bonus game levels unveil a journey towards deep synesthetic immersion.

The Swedish supplier has traded the desert landscape and starry sky for an ethereal jungle backdrop, where a tribe of monkeys gather around the Pink Flame for a ritual honouring the Pink Elephants.

The Mystery Lightning feature can strike at any time during the base game, randomly distributing up to five peanut scatters across the reels to increase the chance of triggering the bonus round.

The peanut scatter is the active ingredient that gives substance and flow to the bonus game. A minimum of three grants entry to the six-level round, the first of which activates the peanut collection mechanic. Peanuts attached to Pink Elephants and scatters are accumulated in a meter, and landing two or three scatters simultaneously multiplies the number of peanuts by 2x or 3x.

The goal of the bonus game is to gather 144 peanuts to the Pink Triangle Apex, where the round reaches its climax and the spirit of the Pink Elephants descend. Potential is levelled up with the addition of a seventh centre reel, expanding the number of ways to win to 16,384, and removing all symbols except the Pink Elephants to enhance potential payouts.

During the bonus game, players meet three spirit animals associated with shamanic tradition. These work in symbiosis to alchemise and level up potential through a Sticky Wild mechanic, and as is synonymous with the Pink Elephants franchise, results in a standout ascension event.

The number of bonus-triggering scatters determines how many spirit animals will be activated at the start of the round, with the maximum of three occurring when six scatters trigger the feature. Four ante bet options also increase the likelihood of entering the bonus by three to 144 times, granting the player greater control of their experience.

Pink Elephants Trinity is the latest involution of a popular Thunderkick series, building on the spiritual ambience and vibrant colour palette with a high-impact progressive bonus round that takes the experience to the next level.

Viktor Johansson, Slot Game Creator at Thunderkick, said: “The Pink Elephants brand has been a strong and memorable performer for us since the original debuted in November 2017. With each iteration, we have layered in new elements and perspectives into the realm to enhance the experience while staying in touch with its heritage.

“Trinity retains those signature audiovisual aspects for continuity, while expanding the multi-level-up bonus to maximise anticipation, mystery, excitement and variation. With the updates in Pink Elephants Trinity, we feel closer to the heart of the dreamlike synesthetic universe than ever before.”
