Thunderkick games
The production of the Scandinavian studio is entirely focused on online slots, which have already exceeded 50 units in less than ten years. For the owners of the studio and the increasingly numerous employees, quality is the calling card on which they do not intend to compromise. Churning out games in industrial quantities without conviction is not part of their belief. The average is between 5 and 8 per year.
Drawing on pop culture and influenced by various sectors, thanks to a workforce with significant experience in the slot industry, the results are evident and are increasingly making a difference day by day.

Reliability and security
From Stockholm to world conquest. The slot machines created by Thunderkick are found scattered in many online casinos and/or specific slot sites, as you will be able to ascertain in this very review.
Quality rhymes with reliability and safety. Thorough tests are carried out on any game that comes out of the minds of "thunder," and finds its way onto the global web, and this also applies to the RNG, the Random Number Generator, which is obviously checked and certified by independent organizations.
What sets Thunderkick apart
Since the first slot games were created, the Scandinavian provider has immediately stood out for its original themes that are not found in the classic video game landscape, which is often too concerned with following current trends. Thunderkick, on the other hand, has a very precise graphic line in mind and intends to pursue it. The company has grown, and there are already around fifty employees, further proof that it has been able to combine unique ideas and business.
The great challenge now will be to continue innovating without losing the increasingly wide audience of loyal users, who have (rightly) rewarded them by making them a sort of "counter-current soul" in the diverse world of online slots.
Further proof of a completely unique modus operandi, social media. While the presence on Youtube is expected, with 48 videos, Thunderkick is not present on Facebook or Instagram, instead preferring Twitter where the followers at the time of writing this review are 1516, and even 2225 on Linkedin, thus highlighting the desire for a direct relationship with the truly interested user base. In an era where everyone wants to know who does what, presenting the entire operational team with names, surnames, and resumes is the triumph of the most professional transparency.
Innovative features
No middle ground, the slots of this young Swedish studio can either be loved or completely indifferent to. Let me explain further. While the competition saturates the reels with functions upon functions, sometimes not always immediately understandable and all seasoned with special effects, here the producers go their own way. The video slots are on the verge of minimalism with colors that know how to amaze and not oppress.
In scrolling through the list of games, you will find some truly unique themes. Two examples for all? The Not Enough Kittens seems to almost refer to Japanese culture, while the Luchadora draws directly from the Mexican wrestling epic with a touch of the 80s.
Graphics
"The essential is invisible to the eyes," said the Fox to the Little Prince. In this case, we could say that the essential flows on the reels. One name for all? The Big Fin Bay slot. 6 reels, over five thousand ways-to-win that become 117,649 during bonus games. The game board (on the smartphone) occupies half of the screen while the bottom part is just the sea. Among the symbols, the classic sailor with a white beard, only fish and letters, all drawn without smudges.
It is not so rare that some of the games are detached from the rigidity of the reels. Let me explain better. There are obviously, but without that rigid alignment of boxes, resulting in a much airier feel. The slot Esqueleto Exsplosivo 2 embodies all this at its best, with the 15 skulls that fall forward with each spin, and in case of activation of special functions, explode in a multitude of colors.
Gameplay
Wild, Scatter, Multiple Payline and Bonus Game symbols. We (almost) always start from these features, which also include free spins . At the moment the developers do not provide the mode Purchase Bonuses thus leaving it up to the skill (and good luck) of the player to trigger each extra win.
All the slots on the website also include a very detailed explanatory card, specifying, among others, the RTP (return to player), the paylines, and the maximum win. Overall, Thunderkick's slots are among the video slots with highest RTP : 98%.

Are Thunderkick slots mobile friendly?
Nowadays, a question like this is almost offensive given the dominance of mobile telephony in practically any field, but it is right to dispel any doubts for our users, so the answer can only be a resounding and convinced "yes". The online slot machines created by Thunderkick are optimized for smartphones and tablets.
Conclusions
"Not bad, really not bad." I am writing these words to you with a half-smile of satisfaction on my face. This is what happens when you come across something innovative, and Thunderkick has definitely achieved it.
Obviously, I have tried many slots from the Swedish provider. The best thing I can tell you is that I can't wait to try the others as well. Thunderkick has really intrigued me and I am already ready to Legalire the future slots they will create.
I realize that this last annotation is very personal, but I greatly appreciated the fact that once the game is loaded, the sound starts only upon request and not automatically, whispering (perhaps) between the lines that they do not want to shock, but rather seduce concretely.
