Each of the games in the Lightning Link series has a similar set up. That makes it simpler to move from one game to another in the series.
One of the most interesting features of the Lightning Link series is reminiscent of Aristocrat’s popular Reel Power feature. Each of the pokies has a range of denominations (coin sizes) and win-lines to choose from. Jackpot bonuses increase the higher the denomination you select. This encourages players to play with the highest denomination.
1 or 2 cents denomination: 50 win-lines
5 or 10 cents denomination: 250 or 50 win-lines
$1 or $2 denomination: 5 win-lines
Adding multipliers to your bets results in more win-lines for the larger bet-sizes. This makes it advantageous to bet the maximum amount. What is a little unusual is that lower bet amounts let punters play more paylines than higher bet amounts, though higher bet amounts do increase the amount of money that can be won during the shared bonus game.
Like almost every pokie, each of the Lightning Link games features a Wild and Scatter symbol. These are all based on the theme of the slot. While the symbols are different, they act the same across every slot in the series. Wilds can substitute for any symbol except for Scatters, and spinning three or more Scatters activates the bonus game for that slot.
The wild symbols typically appear on reels 2 to 5. Stacked wilds are common. As mentioned above, the hold and spin features is shared across all the Lightning Link pokies.
