The Lightning Box game studio, part of gaming technology and content provider Light & Wonder Inc, has released ‘TimeLink Pyramid Dawn’, the first title in its new TimeLink online slot machine franchise.
Light & Wonder said in a press release the new franchise was “designed to extend gameplay and strengthen engagement”.
The Monday release quoted Michael Maokhamphiou, studio director at Lightning Box, as saying that TimeLink Pyramid Dawn features a mechanic that “keeps momentum high throughout gameplay, while combining it with jackpots and features that add real commercial weight for our operator partners”.
The 1,024-ways online slot game introduces what is described as a ‘Perceived Persistence’ mechanic, alongside a new take on ‘Cash on Reel Respin’.
In the base game, ‘Active Rings’ can land on reels 0 and 6 and remain for three spins. When a ‘Scatter Train’ aligns with a ring, base game respins are triggered, awarding cash prizes on reels 1 to 5, with a random chance for wins to repeat up to nine times.
Scatter Trains may also build the ‘Time Train Meter’, which triggers the ‘TimeLink Feature’ when full.
The TimeLink Feature begins with three spins and up to five Active Rows. Scatter Trains that land in an inactive ring activate the row and reset the counter. Cash prizes are collected and awarded at the end, while Scatter Clocks can upgrade values and Scatter Jackpot symbols can unlock the Jackpot Collection, which is played once TimeLink concludes.
“With Lightning Box’s track record of combining proven mechanics with innovative twists, TimeLink Pyramid Dawn builds on that legacy by introducing a new franchise with deeper engagement and scalable jackpots,” Light & Wonder added.
The game is currently available exclusively to customers of Caesars in New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania, in the United States, and Ontario, Canada.
