B2B online casino solutions provider Evolution has announced the launch of its latest live game show, Lightning Storm, which premiered at ICE 2024. Described as the company’s biggest and most ambitious project to date, Lightning Storm features a DigiWheel-based main game and five bonus games.
Leveraging innovations from Evolution’s live game show category, Lightning Storm follows in the footsteps of the company’s first title, Dream Catcher, launched in 2017. It also builds on the success of the award-winning Lightning Roulette and other popular titles such as Crazy Time and Funky Time. The game blends live action and RNG (random number generator) gameplay, a hallmark of Evolution’s Lightning family of games.
Set in a dark, mad-scientist laboratory, Lightning Storm offers players instant payouts, initial multipliers, and bonus games filled with enhanced multipliers. The live host spins a 39-segment DigiWheel, offering players a chance at instant cash wins or access to one of five bonus games: Hot Spot, Monster Mash, Battery Charger, Fireball, and Lightning Storm.
These bonus games immerse players in various challenges, from guessing the hottest spot on a multiplier wall to creating a Frankenstein-inspired monster carrying multipliers. Other games include supercharging multipliers via a conveyor belt of batteries, launching a Fireball onto a multiplier grid, and a finale where winnings can multiply up to 20,000 times the bet in the Lightning Storm bonus game.
“Lightning Storm is by far our biggest, most ambitious and technologically advanced game yet,” said Todd Haushalter, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer. “This is our fifth generation of big wheel game shows and it incorporates learnings from all our prior game shows. Our DigiWheel hardware platform is a big part of the Lightning Storm fun, not to mention the unique blend of live action, RNG, and augmented reality.”
Haushalter added: “And, wow, those five unbelievably varied and entertaining bonus games! Each of those alone is like building an entire game by itself. I’m in awe of this game and all the work and talent that have gone into creating it — game development, technical and math know-how, machine shop skills for the creation of the unique, retro-futuristic lab-style settings and mad machines… It all comes together so well and I feel that players are going to be blown away by Lightning Storm!”
