Independent slots studio Thunderkick has returned to the streets of Mardi Gras with Carnival Queen 2, a high-energy sequel to its iconic festival-themed slot. Featuring a dynamic new reel layout, the title offers from 5,040 up to 117,649 ways to win and an infinite Avalanche multiplier that can reach 25,000x.
The revamped grid randomly adjusts each reel height from two to seven symbols, creating more unpredictable wins and enhancing player engagement. Returning features include the Exploding Wild, which removes symbols vertically and increases its own reel height, boosting paylines and base game excitement.
The bonus round is triggered by landing three scatter symbols, awarding 12 free spins. During this mode, reel heights and multipliers carry over, increasing win potential further. 
Carnival Queen 2 showcases Thunderkick’s flair for developing sequels that combine popular themes, inventive mechanics, and long-term player value, cementing the studio’s reputation for memorable and high-performing slots.
Johannes Polbring, Game Product Owner at Thunderkick, said:
“This sequel introduces a new expanding reels structure, more base game action, and even bigger win potential, while keeping the electric fiesta vibe of the original alive.”
