Slot details

Available to play on all devices, Lucky Lightning is a 5 reel slot with 243 ways to win. Wagering on this highly volatile slot starts from 25p up to £125 per spin.The visuals are superb, with highly detailed graphics and the orchestral soundtrack is quite dramatic. The reels sit against a backdrop of marble temples and a stormy sky with Zeus on the left hand side.Symbols are 10 to Ace royals, a minotaur, Pegasus, the Goddess Hera, an eagle and Zeus himself. The latter is the most lucrative and landing 5 on a payline pays x10 your wager.The wild symbol is the gold lightning coin which can only appear on the 1^st and 2^nd reels. It can substitute all regular symbols barring the temple scatter and money symbols.

Gameplay

Landing a wild symbol on both the 1^st and 2^nd reel on the same spin could see the grid expand up to 3x3x4x4x4x4. This will activate the Hold& Respin feature where money symbols on the 3 to 6th reels lock into place for 1 respin. All adjacent money symbols on these reels are then collected and the total value is paid out.Money symbols show cash values of up to x500 or the jackpots. The Silver, Gold and Platinum jackpots will pay out x50, x250 and x10,000 your wager respectively.3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols landing on the same spin awards you 10, 15 or 50 free spins. These are played on a fully expanded grid and you can re-trigger the feature.

Verdict

Lucky Lightning is not for the faint-hearted and is packed with features which might make it seem complicated at first. The wild respins and money collect features are where you can pocket the biggest wins worth up to x10,100 your wager. It’s certainly worth a spin or two.
