Take a trip a Down Under with Lightning Box’s Bondi Break
Lightning Box will transport players to the golden sands of Australia in the latest addition to its game portfolio Bondi Break.
Set on the iconic Bondi Beach, the new title from the Sydney-based studio sees players ride the waves in order to surge to big wins, with reels made up of a mix of Australian, beach and surf-themed icons, while the Girl acts as the Wild.
As well as those eye-catching icons, Bondi Break contains three different lifeguard symbols, with the topless male lifeguard proving the most rewarding. A winning combination with him can boost a player’s winnings by up to 200x.
Lightning Box’s new game, which will be exclusive to Kindred from today before general release on 18th January, also features a Free Spins feature which takes place when the silhouetted surfer lands on reels 2, 3 and 4.
Peter Causley, CEO and co-founder of Lightning Box, said: “We’re hoping ‘surfs up’ in our new game, Bondi Break which we’re very excited to be releasing via Microgaming.
“Our latest release is a real Aussie crackerjack with a great feature and a rip-roaring Free Spins round, complete with a Surfer Collection which will have players waxing their boards in anticipation.”
