Ok, maybe we’ll be one of the few who know that May 4th is national Star Wars day. It’s cool to love Star Wars ok?
But, seeing as Disney will never, ever, allow for a Star Wars slot machine to be made, how about a little mystery and magic instead?
It’s been a while since we’ve been able to tell you about a new Thunderkick slot game, namely because this up and coming provider have been working hard to get their best slots mobile.
So we’ve had nothing new for a while. That’s about to change.
What we know about The Rift slot machine
Of course, any long term fans and readers of LuckyMobileSlots.com will know that we’ve been getting some great Thunderkick mobile slots in the last 6 months.

Our point, however, is that these haven’t been ‘new’ in that ‘never seen before’ sense.
They are ‘new’ to mobile, but brilliant games like Birds on a Wire and the Arcader slot has been online for a while.
So it’s exciting to get something we’ve absolutely never seen before. And yes, it will be out on mobile and online at the same time.
We walk down a murky back alley of town…
There, you encounter a mysterious rift which is feeding on all of the world magical artefacts.
What lays beyond? What dark Lovecraftian creatures threatens to break into our world? And what riches lie in these murky depths?
“The Rift draws inspiration from horror fiction in which stories are told of great entities beyond man’s comprehension, threatening to envelop our world in madness and darkness.” Official Thunderkick
They’ve clearly thought about the theme
Which we like. You generally don’t get descriptions like that from slot providers who are bringing out the same game but with three different themes they just dreamed up after an all night bender.
- Fruit Warp
- Toki Times
- Birds on a Wire
- Esqueleto Explosivo
- Magicious
Thunderkick clearly sat down and figured out a special theme that would make them stand out, or at least, make slots gamblers notice.
Something they do very well. We suspect we love the Esqueleto Explosivo slot most of all is because it has singing Mexican squeletons. And who doesn’t love that???
And whilst this Rift slot machine feels much darker in tone, we suspect it will as beautiful and as effective.
But what about the Rift slot features?
It’s all well and good being impressed about how beautiful a mobile slot machine is going to look, but ultimately, most of us would play on a dogs bottom if it mean good wins and good entertainment.
Obviously with these previews, it’s harder to tell what to expect. But, The Rift takes a unique twist on a familiar feature.
Sticky wilds, re-spins and bonus games
2 scatters is all you need in order to get a free re-spin where you can get anything from 1 to 3 wilds on screen.
But things get really interesting when you get 3 scatters.
Here’s where things get a little… unclear. Hey, this is a ‘preview’ not a casino slot review remember? We are trying to decipher the little bits of information given to us by Thunderkick.
You do trigger the bonus games on 3 scatters. It doesn’t say how many free spins you can get, but they do say something very interesting – namely:
“In the bonus game, the player will be rewarded with an increasing amount of Sticky Wilds the more scatter symbols they get.” Thunderkick Game Studios.
As you can see from the image above, that’s 6 wild symbols on screen alone.

- 180 free spins on top instantly
- €1,150 over your next four deposits>
What will that mean for you?
We suspect (but don’t know), that you’ll trigger the bonus games with 3 sticky wilds on screen. The more scatters you catch, the more sticky wilds will show on screen.
Will you lose the wilds on a win? Will you get enough scatters in the free spins to catch as many as 6 or more wilds?
We don’t know. But what we do know is that the combination of re-spins and bonus games can only mean plenty of action whilst playing.
Equally, the fact they are being unclear could be because the slot free spins work completely differently from anything we’ve seen before – a little like in their unusual but brilliant Fruit Warp slot.
Yeah… ok… but what about the wins!
Sure. Give us a second to look into our magical crystal ball to see what kind of wins we are going to get.
Whilst we are at it, we’ll also look at next week’s lottery numbers, shall we?
What we do know is that Thunderkick have promised that the Rift mobile slot will be a well balanced affair. In their own words:
“The Rift is an action packed game filled with visual effects, dark symbolism, immersive music and powerful Sticky Wilds symbols.” Thunderkick Game Studios.
What they want is to walk a fine line between giving you constant action, whilst still hoping that beyond the great rift lies treasures rather than monsters.
Are we excited for this new Thunderkick slot?
Of course we are. No doubt helped by the fact that we haven’t had a new Thunderkick slot game in freaking ages.

It’s helped, no doubt, by the fact that they have nothing similar in their current slots portfolio.
If we were to have a few doubts it would have to be about the theme.
As much as we love the ‘magical, dark and mysterious’ atmosphere, Thunderkick are much better know for their light and pretty casino games.
Will they lose their fun edge and go too serious?
To be honest, a change is never a bad thing, and we love it when video slot game software keep innovating and fighting for new ground.
What to do between now and May the 4th… be with you
You could watch Star Wars, knowing that on May 4th you’ll be playing on the Rift slot?
Or, you could try some of the more interesting mobile slot games we’ve already mentioned above.
Personally, we’d start with Esqueleto Explosivo, move on to Fruit Warp, then have a little Toki Time with some crazy magical critters.
And where should you play? Whilst you can find lots of Thunderkick casinos around, once upon a time, not that long enough, only a few were willing to take a risk on a little known provider.
The first to do so? The equally quirky, and wonderful, Casumo, who give you £€1,200 over 5 deposits + 200 free spins to keep you spinning.
