King of the Party

Theme and Design

An Animal Rave With Techno Soundtrack!

The setting for King of the Party is a dance festival, but this being a cartoon one, the party-goers and DJs are all animals including hyenas, lions and snakes. A huge stage sits behind the game grid, with neon lights, strobes and a relentless techno, electro beat bringing the atmosphere. In front of the stage is a crowd of dancers, bobbing up and down to the music. It’s a nicely produced game as you would expect from Thunderkick and will suit anyone getting ready to hit the festival scene this summer and in need of a warm up.

RTP and Variance

King of the Party has a fixed RTP rate of 94.32%. That is lower than what most people consider to be the average RTP for a slot game, which is 96%. However, keep in mind that this rate is fixed. Many slot providers these days create games with more than one RTP rate and leave it to the site operator to decide which setting to run the game on. That means you could be playing at 90% or lower sometimes.

This is also one of Thunderkick’s high variance games so it will be volatile. This studio has been known to create some very volatile games, like the recent Xterminate. So beware, it can burn your balance fast!

Maximum Win

With that in mind the maximum win value of 5,000x feels a bit low. Other high variance slots from Thunderkick have much higher potential like Esqueleto Explosivo 2 (50,000x) or Xterminate (25,000x). If you want to find games with big potential then check out our list of the highest max win slots.

Symbols and Paytable

This is a scatter pays slot and it plays on a 6 reel, 5 row grid. Scatter pays means wins are triggered when 8 or more identical symbols land ANYWHERE on the grid, regardless of their reel or row position.

There are 10 pay symbols to score wins with. They are the four card suits – hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs – and the star, valued at from 0.2x for 8 up to 1x for 12 or more, and the five rock star characters – the snake, the cat, the pig, the hyena and the lion, valued at from 0.5x for 8 snakes up to 50x for 12 or more lions.

There is also a Wild, represented by a big ‘W’, that can substitute for any pay symbol to complete a win.

Features and Gameplay

Avalanche Wins

First of all, like many Scatter Pays slots, this is an avalanche wins game. That means, after any win, winning symbols are removed from the grid and new ones drop in to replace them. If this creates another win, then the process repeats. And so on, until no more wins are created.

Overlay Multipliers

At any point in the game, a pay symbol can appear with a random overlay multiplier. If an overlay multiplier appears over a winning symbol then it is collected at the bottom of the grid with others that overlay winning symbols. They are totalled up before being applied to the win value before the final payout is calculated.

Free Spins Bonus Game

There is also a Bonus Game in King of the Party, triggered by landing 3 or more Bonus Scatter symbols, represented by the gold disc as follows:

• 3 bonus scatters gets you 10 free spins
• 4 bonus scatters gets you 15 free spins
• 5 bonus scatters gets you 20 free spins
• 6 bonus scatters gets you 25 free spins

When the bonus round starts, if you had a multiplier active on the triggering spin then that is carried over into the feature.

And now, if you have Wilds on the grid that aren’t part of a winning combination, then they explode, as do any pay symbols on the same row and reel, triggering another avalanche and the chance to build a new win. And, if this removes an overlay multiplier, it’s value is added to the total under the reels too.

And finally … by landing more bonus scatters you can extend the round: 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters gets you 3, 5, 7, 9 or 11 more spins.
