What we know
Hot Potato Battleground went live on 9 September, and we logged it eighteen days late. Thunderkick's website flags the game as new but names no day anywhere on it; the date reached us through the studio's press mail, which is the only place it exists.
The mail settles the ladder too. This one is certified in two configurations, one named 94 and one named 92, tagged tk-s1-g115-94 and tk-s1-g115-92. The game page prints the upper one to two decimals, 94.23%, which makes it the strongest return this studio has put on anything we track - a hundredth above Midas Golden Touch, eight hundredths above Greedy Pumpking.
The weaker rung comes with a caveat. Thunderkick gives it as a name and not as a measured percentage, so the 2.23 points between the two figures here describe the shape of the ladder rather than its true width - the real second rung could fall either side of that. We carry the pair regardless, because knowing that two versions are in circulation is worth more to a player than a second decimal place.
A seven-reel grid, clusters from five symbols upward, High volatility, and a maximum exposure of 10,000x. The feature is persistent cell multipliers, which stay attached to positions on the grid instead of resetting between drops.
A hit rate is missing, which by now is the expected answer from this particular studio.
