Description of Split Happens

The Split Happens slot by Thunderkick is a bowling-themed title with simple gameplay and a variety of bonus features such as Walking Stacked Wilds and Win Both Ways. Players can win a maximum of 3,000x their stake. Below, we’ll explore the slot machine and all of the features it has to offer.

What are the special features of Split Happens?

Split Happens is not a particularly feature-rich game. Instead, it focuses on creating vibrant base game gameplay that is engaging without the bells and whistles. With that said, the game does offer a few special features, including its titular Split Happens feature, Win Both Ways and Walking Stacked Wilds.

Win Both Ways

Most slots award winning combinations from left to right only. Split Happens features a Win Both Ways mechanic that allows players to form winning combinations in both directions. This effectively doubles your chances of winning by allowing two paths to the prize.

Walking Stacked Wilds

The name ‘Walking Stacked Wilds’ is slightly misleading here. While the feature is, in fact, triggered when a full stack of wilds appear on reels 2, 3 or 4, it also features respins and leads to the Split Happens feature. The respins continue until the full stack of wilds is out of view.

Split Happens

The Split Happens bonus feature is part of the Walking Stacked Wilds feature described above. It is triggered when a wilds stack lands on reel 3 and splits the stack into two. One of these stacks is placed on reel 2, and the other on reel 4, and both of them move either left or right on every respin.

Game info about Split Happens

Split Happens was released in 2024. The slot is set in a colourful bowling alley, with the grid design based on a bowling lane. The symbols themselves lean into the theme, featuring icons such as a bowling ball and even beer and nachos, a bowling alley staple. The game features a purple, pink and green colour scheme rather than the more rustic hues typically found in real bowling alleys. The slot features common bowling alley sound effects and there is a pleasant soundtrack.

Split Happens FAQs

How to win in Split Happens base game

If you’ve played other slot games in the past, then you’ll probably have no trouble playing this one. You’ll need to land at least three matching symbols on the grid, paying out both left and right. Spinning the reels works as you would expect, and any wins or losses are automatically applied to your available credits.

The most important part of the game is its symbols, which are listed below:

Bonus symbols:

Nachos and beer – up to 5x Male bowler – up to 7.5x Bowling pin

Regular symbols:

10 – up to 0.5x J – up to 0.5x Q – up to 0.5x K – up to 0.6x A – up to 0.7x

Note that the bowling pins symbol serves as the game’s wild symbol and the bowling ball is its scatter symbol.

How to play Split Happens

Playing Split Happens is straightforward. Once you load the game, you’ll see a 5x3 grid. To the right of the grid, you’ll see a ‘Spin’ button (a circle made of two arrows) and, above that, a bet button. Clicking the bet button will bring a pop-up allowing you to alter your bet by pressing the plus and minus arrows.

To the top right of the grid, you’ll see three symbols. One of them is composed of three horizontal lines and leads players to the game settings. The ‘i’ icon takes you to the game information page, and the speaker allows you to turn the music on or off.
