Swintt adds Elysium Studios slot Buffalo Thunderstorm to its lineup

Swintt has released Buffalo Thunderstorm, a new cluster-pays slot from Elysium Studios, adding the title to its content lineup.

According to the company, the game starts on a 5x5 reel grid and expands up to 8x5 during consecutive cluster wins, with the first, second and third cluster wins within a single spin each adding an additional row. Once the grid reaches 8x5, a Symbol Swap feature can randomly trigger.

Swintt said the Symbol Swap mechanic uses two totem poles to “zap” junior symbols on the reels and upgrade them into one matching senior symbol. The game also includes buffalo wilds that, when contributing to consecutive wins, can expand up to 3x3 tiles.

A Free Spins bonus is triggered by landing three scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, awarding 10 free spins on a fully expanded 8x5 grid. Swintt said each free spin begins with a randomly selected modifier, which can include guaranteed Symbol Swaps, 2x2 or 3x3 buffalo wilds, and multipliers up to 25x; landing three additional scatters during the feature awards 10 more free spins.

Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: "Buffalo Thunderstorm is a strong addition to the Elysium Studios line-up, with an expanding cluster-pays mechanic that gives every sequence of consecutive wins a clear sense of progression. The combination of a growing reel grid, expanding buffalo wilds and varied Free Spins modifiers gives the game plenty of visual momentum and feature variety, while offering Swintt partners another distinctive title for their portfolios."
