Thunder Drums series: fixed jackpots across changing reel formats
The Thunder Drums series is Light & Wonder's fixed-jackpot bonus franchise, built on free spins, wilds and themed feature rounds that change substantially with each reel model. Its identity comes less from one fixed layout than from carrying jackpot and reward collection ideas through warrior, safari and ancient-civilization settings.

Thunder Drums Samurai Storm establishes a 5x3, 25-payline version centered on energy-style symbol collection, wild multipliers, extra free spins and random multipliers. Thunder Drums Serengeti Sun keeps 25 paylines and the collection layer but adds a pick-object bonus and a free-spins multiplier, placing more of the variation inside the bonus rounds.
Thunder Drums Mayan Mask is the structural departure. Its 5x5 grid and 243 ways replace the compact 25-line format, while expanding symbols, a cash collector and random rewards take over from the earlier energy and multiplier-heavy packages.
Three reel models, three feature priorities
- Samurai Storm: a 5x3 line game driven by collection, wild multipliers and extra spins.
- Serengeti Sun: a 3x5 variation that adds picking and free-spin multiplier decisions.
- Mayan Mask: a 5x5 ways game focused on expansion, cash collection and random prizes.
