Lucky Lightning ᐈ Slot Review + Demo (RTP=95.51)

Lucky Lightning Review

Pragmatic Play partner, Wild Streak Gaming, has made a somewhat generic looking ancient Greece slot with Lucky Lightning, but feautewise it sticks out a bit from similar games. The ever-popular Hold & Respin feature is central to all stages of the game, but it’s more of a lightning round version here. You don’t get any new respins, as is usually the case, but the 1 respin chance you get can lead to significant payouts for sure.

You can expect to trigger the Money Collect Respin feature more often in the bonus round, although it comes about quite frequently in the base game too. You get a lot of different ‘big win messages’, such as “you’re a rock star” and “you’re on fire”. This can be fun when merited, but annoying when the payout isn’t really that impressive. If you enjoy plenty of action and unpredictability, this game serves up both in spades, all built on a solid math model that can pay big at any moment.

Lucky Lightning Slot Features

The golden lightning coin is the wild symbol, and it can land on reels 1 and 2 only. When you land a wild symbol on both reels 1 and 2 on the same spin, the reel set might expand to a 6-reels 3-3-4-4-4-4 setup.

This also triggers the Hold & Respin feature, where all money symbols on reels 3 to 5/6 become sticky for a respin. All money symbols adjacent to each other from reels 3 onwards are collected after the respin, and reel 6 might come with money symbols only. The money symbols land with random values between 1x and 500x your stake.

In addition to the regular money symbols, you can also land silver, gold and platinum jackpot symbols on reels 3 to 5/6. These correspond to fixed jackpots that are worth 50x, 250x and 10,000x your stake, respectively. The Coverall feature makes sure that all money symbol prizes are paid twice if, and only if, all possible reels contain money symbols.

You win 10, 15 or 50 free spins, respectively, whenever you land 3, 4 or 5 bonus symbols anywhere on reels 1 to 5 at the same time. The bonus round always plays out on the expanded 6-reels grid, and you can retrigger the feature the same way it was triggered in the first place.

The bonus round plays out the same way as the base game, and it comes about once every 167 spins on average. Non-UK players can purchase the bonus round for 100x the total stake, and this gives you a slightly higher 96.48 % RTP. You are guaranteed at least 3 scatters on the next spin, and we should also mention that your chances of triggering the money collect respin feature is increased in the bonus round.

Review Summary

Despite the somewhat dated and generic appearance, it’s hardly possible to argue that Lucky Lightning is a boring game. Wild Streak Gaming has crammed so many different features into this release that it will take you a while to get used to it. The unpredictable nature of the base game keeps things tense and entertaining, at least if you enjoy the core money collect respin feature.

Bigger wins are possible in all stages of the game, not least if you should be so lucky as to land the top-tier jackpot. The bonus round comes with plenty of bells and whistles too, as more wilds are added to the reel strips. The max win is hard-capped at 10,100x your stake, which is more than solid enough. We see plenty of standard Hold & Respin featured games every month, so kudos to Wild Streak for daring to do things a bit differently.
