Thunderkick Games is one of our favourite new online pokie developers. While the company only has a few games under its belt, it consistently releases new and innovative titles that help to advance the online gambling market. The company’s latest title, ‘Arcader’, continues to impress us by merging retro gaming with modern gambling systems. Every bit of this new online pokie screams ‘retro!’
From the 8-bit symbols to the 80s-inspired soundtrack, Arcader does an amazing job of evoking the retro gaming theme. All of the symbols are classic poker machine symbols, including melons, cherries, 7s and bells; however, each one is designed with an exaggerated 8-bit look. Whenver the symbols combine to hit a win, the screen shakes as the win accrues.
When an especially big win occurs, the game says ‘awesome’. There is an impressive attention to detail in this new online pokie, and we are pleased to see Thunderkick working hard to impressive fans. There are a number of generous on-screen bonus features available. There is an expanding symbol, which offers up generous winning potential.
When it appears on the screen in-between two like symbols, it turns the entire reel into that particular symbol. Wild symbols also appears in stacks. When the sticky wild symbol appears on the middle three reels, players trigger an on-screen bonus in which reels 2, 3 and 4 remain wild and only the outer two reels spin. The B symbol is the bonus, which can award up to 9 free spins with a generous 9x multiplier.
Players can win additional spins during this round by triggering three more bonus symbols. There is also a mystery bonus, which is triggered by the M symbol. This is a generous pick-a-prize bonus that offers up multipliers and credits. Arcader from Thunderkick Games is a fantastic new online pokie. Be sure to give it a spin!
