Lucky Lightning Slot Review

Lucky Lightning Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

Most of the action in the Lucky Lightning slot takes place on 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win. There are chances to increase this to 6 reels. Winners are formed in the usual manner by landing 3, 4, 5 (or 6 where possible) matching symbols or wilds on adjoining reels, starting from reel 1.

Stake levels here range from between 25p and £125 per spin. Use the + and – buttons to adjust your stake. The paytable amounts are shown in cash and relate to your current total bet levels. It’s all very simple to follow.

The Lucky Lightning RTP is 96.45% which is better than average. The variance here matches the thunderous theme. On a scale of 1 to 5, I’d put the volatility at the maximum of 5. The maximum win from a single spin is 10,100 x your total stake.

Theme – Audio & Design Features – join Zeus on the reels

There’s a strong ancient Greek mythology feel to the design in the Lucky Lightning slot. With ominous, cloud-filled skies in the background, the reels appear against impressive marble temple buildings.

The comic-book style imagery here is very well done. Likewise, the stirring orchestral soundtrack that’s punctuated by rumbles of thunder and cracks of lightning. It works very well.

On the dark reels you’ll find A to 10 royals and a selection of symbols relating to ancient Greek myth and legend. They include the winged horse Pegasus, an eagle, the Minotaur, Astrape, the goddess of lightning and Zeus. The God of the sky and thunder is most lucrative symbol, paying 1, 5 or 10 x your total stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

The lightning bolt is the wild. This can appear on reel 1 and 2 only. The marble temple is the bonus symbol. There are also silver, gold and platinum coins that come to life when you trigger the Wild Respin and Collection feature.

You can play Lucky Lightning whether you’re using a desktop, tablet or mobile. In all versions, you’ll find the same classy sound and visuals as well as the potentially explosive gameplay.

Lucky Lightning Bonus Features

The 3 bonus features in Lucky Lightning offer something original. There’s a wild respin element where coins can deliver cash and jackpot prize. There’s also a free spins bonus where the action plays out on an expanded machine.

Wild Respin and Collection feature

Trigger the Wild Respin and Collection feature by landing wild symbols on reels 1 and 2. A standard payout consideration is made. Any silver, gold or platinum coin symbols on the other reels lock in position and a respin is awarded.

After the respin, a new payout consideration is then made. If you land any coins on reels 3, 4 and 5 that form a line with the wilds on reels 1 and 2, you’ll win the values attached to those coins. It’s worth noting that these coins aren’t scatters as the coins have to form a continuous link to the wilds to win a prize.

The value of the coins ranges from a minimum of 1 right up to 500 x your total stake. You could also land 1 of 3 fixed jackpot prizes here:

• Silver Jackpot = 50 x stake
• Gold Jackpot = 250 x stake
• Platinum Jackpot = 10,000 x stake

The reels can expand during this feature too. If you manage to open up a 6th reel, it will be filled with coin symbols.

Coverall feature

If you manage to fill the whole of reels 2, 3 and 4 with coins alongside wilds on reels 1 and 2, you’ll pocket the Coverall feature. The total value of the coin prizes is paid once, then paid for a second time.

Free Spins feature

Landing 3, 4 or 5 Bonus symbols on the same spin triggers the game’s Free Spins feature. Your reward is 10, 15 or 50 free spins. These play out on a 6 reel, 3 row machine. You can expand the game engine still further during the free spins by triggering the Wild Respin and Collection feature.

The reels can then reach a 3x3x4x4x4x4 configuration to ramp up your winning chances. Unlimited retriggers are possible here too.

In some countries (not the UK), you can buy your way into the Free Spins feature for 100 x your total stake. These, unlike the default trigger, will be played on a 3x3x4x4x4x4 grid for the duration of the feature. The RTP also increases slightly to 96.48%.

Lucky Lightning Review Summary – Zeus delivers a striking blow

The appetite for all things ancient Greek shows no sign of slowing down and when releases are as good as the Lucky Lightning slot, it’s easy to see why. For starters, the design is superb. That counts for little if the gameplay doesn’t match but the features here are up to the task.

The biggest wins will come from the Wild Respin and Collection feature naturally with a top jackpot of 10,000 x your total stake. This is more lucrative during the free spins due to the grid potentially expanding. Be warned though, this is an extremely fiery and volatile slot so expect some lengthy dips to your bankroll.

If you like the ancient Greek mythology theme, Lucky Lighting is a real striker. Alternatively, Age of the Gods by Playtech features Zeus, has 4 free spins games as well as 4 progressive jackpots. If you want a simple game, Zeus from WMS is 1 of the most popular slot games of all time.
