With the debut of Lightning Storm, their most recent live game show, Evolution has raised the bar for online gaming. This game is Evolution’s most ambitious and inventive project to date, and it will make its debut at ICE 2024. Lightning Storm offers five thrilling bonus games in addition to a dramatic DigiWheel-based main game, all of which combine cutting-edge technology with a high-voltage theme.
Building on the success of Evolution’s live game show business, this new title features popular games like as Dream Catcher, Lightning Roulette, Crazy Time, and Funky Time. Evolution has been at the forefront of fusing live and random generation gameplay since Dream Catcher’s 2017 release, and Lightning Storm advances this innovation even further.
Electrifying Gameplay and Bonus Features
Set in a dark, mad-scientist laboratory, Lightning Storm immerses players in a world of fantastical experiments and challenges. The game kicks off with the live host spinning a 39-segment DigiWheel. Players can win instant cash or enter one of the five bonus games: Hot Spot, Monster Mash, Battery Charger, Fireball, and the Lightning Storm finale.
In Hot Spot, players select the hottest spot on a giant multiplier wall. Monster Mash lets players assemble a Frankenstein-inspired monster with multiplier parts. Battery Charger involves supercharging multipliers while avoiding overcharges. Fireball has players launching a fireball onto a multiplier grid. Finally, the Lightning Storm bonus game can boost winnings up to an astonishing 20,000x the original bet.
Todd Haushalter, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer, commented, “Lightning Storm is by far our biggest, most ambitious and technologically advanced game yet. 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 further praised the game’s complexity: “Each of those five unbelievably varied and entertaining bonus games 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.”
