Personal testers’ opinion about Lights slot

• We honestly prefer slots with a small number of win lines, like this 9-liner. Riskless, win more. In theory, the machine has a good winning potential. We recommend players place smaller bets here and spread their money on more spins. The Lights slot scored less than 5 points on the wagering rating meter, i.e. not fit to satisfy the bonus hunters. The Free Spins feature is activated every 154th spin (0.65%), and the frequency of landing any win is 28.86%.
• Our biggest win was 285x total bets during our sessions with real money, and we got the impression that the slot ‘prefers’ the bets from 10 CAD. By how many Wild symbols are generated and their position during the Free Spins feature, you can indirectly determine the mood of the slot. Keep in mind that by increasing the bet size, the slot’s behaviour can change drastically.

Review and recommendations by the testing team

• Because of the beautiful graphics and smooth gameplay at first glance, this seems like a typical NetEnt slot. Virtuously made, all attuned to the Asian theme. Fairly standard until your first spin, and immediately, you land some Wilds. The second spin as well. It turns out that during every spin, 2 to 4 Wilds land randomly on the reels, which gives a potential for higher winnings.
• Somehow this slot is still not popular among players. Maybe because the payouts for 3OAK and 4 OAK symbols are quite small, while they are quite big for 5OAK, many other slots by NetEnt operate the same way.
• However, the Wild symbols frequently land in the right positions at the right time, resulting in big winnings. In contrast to other slots, the Free Spins are more often activated, without long intervals in between them. During our testing sessions, we triggered a bonus round in the first 50-70 spins. The Wilds were fluttering all over the screen in bigger numbers during those Free Spins. Two full lines of Wilds landed on the first Free Spin, which paid us big time.

NetEnt declares the following probabilities

• The theoretical RTP of the slot is 96.1%. Of these, 71.7% are reserved for payment during the usual spins and 24.4% during the bonus game.
• The probability of getting winning is 29.3%.
• The probability of getting 3+ Scatters and triggering the bonus Free Spins feature is 0.54%.
• The maximum winnings are 90 000 coins.

Hidden parameters and settings of Lights slot (data from testing)

• The frequency of triggering the bonus is statistically every 154th spin (0,65%). This number is in the middle line.
• The probability of a hit (any winning) is 28,86%. So here, players will get winnings rarely.
• The distribution of the winnings is 64% in the main game and 36% in the bonus. Note that this number differs a lot from Netent’s official figures.
• The maximum payout during the tests was 265x. This is the average number for an online slot with a 7,41 volatility rating.
• The average winning from the bonus was 76x. This is because the bonus feature gives more money than usual. Maybe that is the reason for the low maximum winning.
• Volatility is 7,41 out of 20 (average). This number shows that the Lights slot should have a high potential of winning. Thus, there is a reason to use the progressive betting system and to increase the stakes in losing waves.
• The cycle length is from average to long.
• The rating for the wagering is 4,56 out of 10.
• RTP of 96.1% allows getting a positive mathematical expectation of winning at the casino.

Free Spins

If three scatters drop on the field, the free spins feature with an increased number of generated Wild will start. Again, the location of the scatter does not matter.

• If you catch 3 scatters, you get ten free spins.
• Over the 4, you will get 20 spins.
• If you are lucky enough to catch 5, then 30 free spins will launch.
• During all free spins, you will receive an increased number of generated wilds in the field (up to 6).

How to win at the Lights slot machine? (Conclusion)

• As usual, we advise every player to test the slot in the free DEMO version before depositing real money.
• Bear in mind that this machine is not all that popular and therefore the prize pool is often empty.
• Anyhow, if you catch it in a ‘good’ mood, there is enough potential for great prizes. Like with other slots, here too, the biggest winning potential lies in the Free Spins. You should have enough bets (for around 150 bets initially) in your balance to wait for the Free Spins.
• You can try to change the game cycle by changing the stakes. The slot responds better to stakes that are multiples of 10 or just 10 CAD. It is likely to completely change its behaviour through frequent bet manipulation.
• If it’s hot, it will be obvious during the first few Free Spins – if the Wilds are many (7-8) and in the accurate place to deliver good combinations – you should keep playing it. Otherwise, move to the next slot because the empty rounds of one ‘cold’ Lights slot machine can be annoyingly lengthy.
• We lean towards negative recommendations to use this slot for covering the wagering requirements.
