Lightning Joker

Judging by the situation in the iGaming industry, it is clear that quantity takes precedence over quality and we know there is not much room left for an original title that’ll change this attitude. 

In most cases, we attend copying or reincarnating some legendary releases and that’s exactly how it felt when we ‘took’ Lightning Joker for a test ride. 

There were a few different things we didn’t like. It comes with the most used layout ever (3x3), symbols so common that they become boring and overall, a fairly simple design. 

However, Yggdrasil Gaming managed to convince us otherwise and prove once again that they are real magicians in this business! 

‘’How?’’, you might ask? Well…

...they introduced a simple-looking video slot packed with original features that can lead to wins of up to an amazing 10.000x the bet! 

Is the Theme Interesting?

For all of you who are fans of classic video slots the theme will be interesting. On the other hand, for those who like complex designs, this will be just a regular Vegas-styled video slot. 

There’s not much going on in the background. We have stripped blue decorations and golden grid borders, and that’s it! 

The paytable consists of cherries, lemons, grapes, watermelons, bells, lucky 7s and stars. The Wild and female joker are on the list of special symbols here and we’ll explain them in the features section. 

Despite its simplistic design, Lightning Joker is a fully optimized video slot which means that you’ll be able to test it/play it on your mobile devices too!

What About The Betting Options?

As we mentioned earlier, this one-armed bandit comes with probably the most used layout ever – 3 reels, 3 rows and 5 paylines and to score you’ll need to land 3 matching symbols across any of available paylines. 

Bets are placed in the range between 0.05 coins and 50 coins per spin while the theoretical return to player (RTP) stands at 96.3% which is slightly above the industry’s average. 

The title comes with high volatility and an amazing maximum payout of 10.000x the bet. 

What Special Features Can We Expect?

The Rapid Respin feature is triggered when you fill 2 reels with the same matching symbol. A free re-spin will be awarded with all matching symbols held in place. 

Rapid Re-spins may activate the feature called Multiplier Strike. In order to activate it, you’ll need to fill the grid with matching symbols and a random multiplier (x2, x3, x5 or x10) will be applied to the win. 

Finally, the Mystery Win feature will be triggered whenever you land at least 2 lady jokers anywhere on the grid. The mystery win ranges between 2x and 10.000x the bet. 

What Is Our Take?

Even though we didn’t believe in it, we must say that Yggdrasil did an amazing job once again. Despite its simple design, Lightning Joker is a highly entertaining video slot packed with 3 unique features that can lead to wins of up to 10.000x the bet!
