Can you hear the thunder? That's the sound of the latest release from leading supplier Play'n GO; the 5-reel slot Thunder Screech.

Play'n GO are notorious for their mythological slots, particularly those based around ancient Egyptian and Norse culture with past successes including titles like Viking Runecraft, Dawn of Dead and Ring of Odin.

Their attention to detail, and finding unique characters and stories from their cultural legends, have led their games to stand out even while using themes that are hugely popular within the industry; with some of their titles being the most played in the markets.

More recently, they have expanded to include others like their Arthurian slots (Rise of Merlin and The Sword and the Grail for example); and even mixing them in games like Divine Showdown.

This has continued with this latest release. Based on a legend found in several Native American cultures, the game centres around the story of the Thunderbird; a creature formed to protect humanity, a symbol of power and strength.

Play'n GO have used this narrative and theme to create some stunning visuals, placing them alongside a solid mechanic; ensuring the game gives a new type of story to players and is also a game that they will want to play again.

This is partly thanks to a dynamic feature whereby multiplier Wilds remain sticky on the grid as long as they have a multiplier attached to them, giving better wins for longer.

This is not the first Native American themed slot the supplier has put into the market. Lat year’seffort, Coywolf Cash, was a popular title with players, and this game draws from the same style of play.

While creating unique ideas and narratives is an integral part of slot building, CPO Martin Zettergren believes the game must back up the packaging:

"It's important to give players new ideas and stories to explore while they're playing; but, it's also vital that the game itself is still good enough to keep them interested.

Many games may be wrapped in a nice theme and have some fun artwork, but then, there's nothing to hold the players' interest when it comes to gameplay.

So, while early numbers might be good, there's a sharp decline as people play once and then move onto something else. We create games for people to enjoy over and over again."

They say, "if Rich Wilde is a hammer, then Cat Wilde is a scalpel!", and she's showing her skills in the latest slot release from Play'n GO Cat Wilde in the Eclipse of the Sun God!

The ever-popular Rich Wilde character is the face of several top-performing games in the Play'n GO roster and, last year, the supplier expanded on his universe by bringing his daughter, Cat, into the mix.

The allure of the Wilde IP, along with some incredibly great in-game potential, make this game a must-have addition to any casino library.

She was first introduced in a joint slot with Rich Wilde, allowing players to become familiar with her while enjoying a classic Rich Wilde escapade. She then starred in her first adventure Cat Wilde in the Doom of Dead.

Now she's back in a brand-new game to satisfy her growing army of fans. Cat Wilde in the Eclipse of the Sun God takes her to Mexico; to uncover the legend of the eclipse and the Aztec Sun God.

The game is a cascading video slot featuring a cascade multiplier. This multiplier increases the value of wins with each cascade in the base game, and then really explodes in the Free Spins, giving up to x70 multiplier on payline wins.

CPO Martin Zettergren believes that building the chapters of the Wilde series is a great way to provide entertainment and retain audiences:

"There are so many games fighting for players' attention in today's market, it can be challenging for games to attract an audience, and for operators to keep their players with them.

When players find a game that they love, they will tend to revisit it, but they want assurance that they'll be getting a good experience when looking for something new.

People know the Wilde series of games are fun and entertaining. They know what they're getting in a new instalment, and that inspires trust and loyalty."

Play’n GO have come up with another magical title this week, as they announce the release of their latest slot, Lord Merlin & The Lady of The Lake.

The game is another addition to the Arthurian family of slots Play’n GO have brought into their content library. Play’n GO have steadily been increasing their game “families”, creating and expanding groups of games that share recognisable characters, themes or settings.

This has proven a hit with players, allowing them to enjoy new games and experiences whilst still enjoying what they love about previous games they have played.

The 5x3 slot focuses on an earlier time in the great wizard Merlin’s life, specifically the start of his relationship with Vivian, the Lady of the Lake.

Although they are known to be adversaries in the many tales of Merlin’s life, their relationship started as a romantic one, a perspective not often explored in the telling of their story.

Lord Merlin and The Lady of the Lake is a sequel to their 2019 release Rise of Merlin, which also focused on the earlier period of Merlin’s life. That title became immensely popular with audiences around Europe, and now the supplier is giving audiences more of what they enjoy by expanding on the legend.

Lord Merlin and the Lady of the Lake will give players plenty to love. There’s a free spin round, that will randomly select a symbol to expand in the reels in each spin, offering the possibility of a screen full of Wilds; a nested feature inside the free spin round and, maybe most impressive of all, double the potential of Rise of Merlin!

This game may be linked to others, but it still stands on its own two feet, something that’s very important according to CPO Martin Zettergren:

“Our ‘families’ link games together under a recognisable umbrella; players see this and know that they are going to get the same great entertainment as a game they have enjoyed previously.

However, familiarity alone will not keep players engaged; each game has to bring something different to the table, otherwise what’s the point?”
