The Rift

Here comes Thunderkick with their new slot game The Rift. The slot takes us into the murky streets of a mysterious town, empty on a rainy dark night. In one of the alleys, suddenly, a whole opens up beneath you feet and magical reels appear, full of dangerously-looking objects. You can feel the chills running through your spine, the goosebumps rushing on the skin. That is exactly what The Rift makes you feel, when you decide to spin its reels.

The Rift by Thunderkick is an epic 5-reel video slot game with 17 fixed pay lines. The reels hover in the air, in a misty alley, right over the edge of a whole in the ground. There is a circle of magic symbols on the wall in front of you, powering the reels. The symbols are artifacts such as magical clock, flasks with potion, coins and the great book of magic. The animation and graphics, as well as the sound in The Rift are beyond satisfying, making the slot a unique and almost surreal experience.  One might be tempted to say that The Rift is heading in a totally new direction of developing video slot games.

The bonus symbols stick to the usual rules, yet, Thunderkick decided to add some wrinkles to make the slot even more entertaining and unpredictable.

The pink Wild symbol acts as usual – it substitutes for all other symbols, if and only if the Wild is combined with at least one more symbol of the same kind, forming a winning pay line.

Bonus symbol “The Rift” is the scatter, which activates the bonus game. Once you catch 2 bonus symbols anywhere on the rift, you’re awarded a Rift Spin, meaning one free spin. When this feature is triggered, any wild not appearing on a winning pay line will become a sticky wild, which locks onto its position ans stay sticky for the rest of the game or until they’re a part of a winning combination. 3 or more bonus symbols on the reels trigger a bonus game, in which the number of Free Spins depends on the number of caught symbols. 3 symbols give 10 Free Spins, 4 symbols 15, and 5 symbols 20 Free Spins. Each bonus symbol that appears on the reels during the mode activated one step on the Rift seal until it is complete. Every third step will add 2 Free Spins more and 1 more sticky Wild to every remaining spin.

In such a way, The Rift by Thunderkick is a slot game that falls deeply into memory, once it’s played. The Rift is full of effects, colours and possesses a unique climate. One could note that there is no particular theme, but Thunderkick has managed to create a theme-less slot game that appears to constitute its own characteristic theme and style. Moreover, it’s rewarding and full of bonuses to increase the win. It’s addictive, so be warned!
