Play your favorite Smoke-Free Slots with your Thunder Rewards card, and you could hit for a Mini, Super or Ultimate progressive payout in free slot play.

• Mini Progressive, ranges from $25 - $50 in Free Slot Play
• Super Progressive, ranges from $50 - $250 in Free Slot Play
• Ultimate Progressive, ranges from $250 - $1,000 in Free Slot Play

Players in the Smoke-Free Slots Room remain eligible for Thunder Strike, too. It’s a whole new way to win while enjoying the exciting slots in the comfort of the smoke-free room, right next to the Red Lantern restaurant. Good luck!
