Thunderkick in brief
Thunderkick started in 2012 with a simple aim: make online casino play more enjoyable. It has since become one of the most talked-about slot suppliers of its generation and now runs offices in Stockholm and Malta.
The studio has never lacked ideas, and it is just as good at executing them. Every game is developed in-house by an experienced team, and the results run on hundreds of casino sites. Growth has been rapid, yet Thunderkick keeps looking for ways to improve.
Licences from the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority allow operators to offer its games in a wide range of jurisdictions.

A studio devoted to slots
Thunderkick puts all of its effort into one product type. There are no table or live dealer games in the catalogue, just more than 50 HTML5 slots, each designed so that nobody leaves disappointed.
The team works hard to make every part of a game fit together. Two traits define the result:
- Visual impact: striking graphics that give each slot a strong identity
- Intricate mechanics: features that keep sessions lively and unpredictable
Themes cover a lot of ground, so the catalogue appeals to players of different ages and regions, and almost every operator can find titles that suit its audience. Each release tries to add an original twist, and HTML5 lets every game adapt to any device.

Thunderkick slots to know
No two Thunderkick slots look alike. Creativity and a touch of the unconventional run through the whole catalogue, and three titles stand out among its most popular releases:
Esqueleto Explosivo 2
The follow-up to the 2014 hit brings back the singing mariachi skulls on cascading reels. Line up enough of them and the wins roll in. The Mucho Multiplier can raise payouts as high as 32x, and five scatters award up to 14 free spins.
Pink Elephants 2
Thunderkick likes to revisit its hits, and this sequel challenges the original. A magic portal leads to the Elephant Dimension, full of mystery and treasure. The game runs on six reels with 4,096 ways to win, high volatility and a top prize of 10,000x the bet. A Mystery Scatter improves the odds of reaching the free spins bonus.
Midas Golden Touch
A trip to King Midas’ palace on a 5x3 grid with 15 paylines. Wilds carry a multiplier, three or more scatters trigger free spins, and a random wild can land on reels 2, 3 and 4 before any spin.
Technology and mobile play
Thunderkick builds its slots with current technologies, Java and HTML5 among them.
Mobile
Because every game is written in HTML5, each one is ready for any platform. Players get the same experience on desktop computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets.
In-game bonus features
Bonus features change from one Thunderkick slot to the next. Across the catalogue you will find free spins, multipliers, bonus games and many more inventive mechanics.
Licences and fair play
A provider’s licences say a lot about its security and credibility. Thunderkick holds approvals from two of the most respected regulators:
- Malta Gaming Authority, licence MGA/B2B/248/2013
- UK Gambling Commission, licence 041752-R-321094-007
Its software has also been tested by the laboratory QUINEL, which confirms that every spin outcome is random and the games are fair.
