UPDATE: This game is now available to play at Leo Vegas casino or you can read our wonderfully zen like Lights mobile slot review.
Set in the dusky Asian mountains from a long ago tale, Lights video slot will be as graphically beautiful as you can expect any new NetEnt slot to be. With shimmering pools and fireflies dancing accross the screen, this NetEnt game is going to be calm and pretty.
What a difference from last months big black beast of a game; Aliens slot machine. We suppose it makes sense. After catering for the more violent instinct in all of us, creating a prettier soothing game play will please those who didn’t take to Aliens quite like we did.
One thing is for sure, it will look and play as beautifully as an Android slot as it will an iPhone and iPad slot.
What do we know about Lights mobile slot?
Quite a bit actually. Why not watch the video below to get a feel for the game first. We will give you our opinion below.
What we can confirm 100% is that this little beauty will be out on the 24th of May for general release. So all good NetEnt casinos should release it promptly and with no delays as both a mobile and online slot.
However, one casino will get it on mobile one week before everyone else. Worth reading our Leo Vegas casino review so you can decide to sign up ahead of time and get notified once it’s out. Or just come back here, as we will be sure to be the first to play it and let you know all about it in our Lights Touch review.
What about the bonus features?
Aaah… the good bit. Will Lights slot be any good? Is it worth anticipating? Here’s some of the highlights:
- Flying fireflies will randomly award you 2 to 4 wilds on every spin
- Three scatters will trigger 10 free spins. 4 gives you 20 and 5 a healthy 30.
- No multiplier, but those random wilds increase to 3 to 6 wilds on every free spin.
- Chinese lanterns will sit side by side your high card symbols
- 96.1% return to player rate and likely to be mid to low slot variance.
- 5 reels and 9 paylines
- 90,000 coins maximum win = $£€90,000 in game jackpot
The question becomes, will all these components come together in perfect ying/yang balance? Or is this little peaceful scene about to be steamrollered by Chinese industry and be nothing more than a dream?
Worth getting excited about?
We have reservations. The last time Net Entertainment released a new slot with a huge amount of wilds, it was the frankly average Wonky Wabbits (not mobile). On the other hand, Disco Spins and Magic Portals slot are both heavily reliant on random wilds and have a free spin feature much like the one on Lights (Touch) slot and they both rank highly on our site.
That last one, especially, hides some surprising wins that have lead to a fair few big slot wins stories. If Lights shared some genetic DNA with Magic Portals, this could be a fairly interesting addition to the pot. The big in game jackpot helps, though we suspect with so many wilds on the five reels, wins will come often, but will rarely be all that big.
We will remain casually optimistic. The Asian theme has never been a huge favourite of ours, but if it’s pretty enough and the sounds are authentic. Make the free spins hit often and it could make things interesting enough to us to dive into this moonlight soaked pool, with or without the hope for a huge win.
Can’t wait till the 24th of May to play NetEnt slots? Vera & John are offering 10 free spins on Starburst no deposit needed, exclusively to Lucky Mobile Slots players. You’ll see them once you register, plus you also get a higher deposit limit of 100% up to €£$500.
Better than a cup of green tea at sunset.
