Lights Slot
The wombat says: Sick and tired of the daily grind Wombats? Then head to this peaceful little village on what looks like Tibetian mountainside for some R&R from this Oriental-themed slot.
Sit back and float away with the soundtrack that will put you in a Zen-like trance (we just snapped out of one playing the Nrvna slot!), while the fireflies dart across your reels to form winning combos and dole out some cash wins.
Look and Feel
This wombat loves the design and detailed graphics of the NetEnt slot. The backdrop is all lush hills and misty mountains, while cedar trees lit by a full moon light up the landscape. It’s got a similar feel to the Tianlong slot machine– just without the dragons
Then there’s the soothing lake whose shimmering surface will have you mesmerised before you even get spinning. 10 out of 1o for the look and feel of Lights slot, NetEnt! When you compare this to earlier games like the Adventure Palace slot machine, you start to appreciate just how far things have moved on.
Game Play
Lights is a 5 reel, 3 row slot with 9 paylines. 9 paylines seems a bit unusual for a newish game, but the slot can also be played from 9p to £90 a spin, so we think the designers have a thing for the number 9. According to mystical numerology, the Number 9 is the number of universal love, karma and spiritual enlightenment – so it fits in perfectly with the theme of this slot.
Aside from the standard 10, J, Q, K & A making up your low paying symbols, you’ll find multi-coloured Chinese lanterns in dark blue, light blue, green, orange and red as your high pay out symbols on the reels.
Keep your eyes peeled for the ‘Wild’ logo, too which will substitute for all other symbols in the game apart from the Scatter. And speaking of which, the Scatter itself is a Yin Yang symbol – representing peace and harmony. Get 3x or more of these and you’ll trigger off the Free Spins Feature – which really will restore balance to your universe…
Floating Wilds
During each spin, light-filled fireflies will float onto your reels turning the symbols they land on into Floating Wilds. You’ll land between 2 and 4 Floating Wilds on every single spin in the base game, and between 3 and 6 of these gleaming little beauties in the Free Spins Bonus round. This is a nice little touch, and one we’d like to see in slots more often.
Free Spins Feature
Sound the Free Spins Klaxon! If you get 3x or more Yin Yang symbols on the reels, you’ll set off the Free Spins bonus. 3 Scatters will give you 10 Free Spins, 4 Scatter symbols will give 20, and 5 of the Yin Yang Scatters will dish out a very generous 30 free spins. Don’t forget that you’ll also get between 3 and 6 Floating Wilds per spin, too. All in all, a good bonus.
Conclusion
We’re all going mad for the Floating Wilds feature here at Wombat Towers, as there’s a decent chance of a sizeable win on each spin with those 2 Wilds on the reels (or 3 in the Free Spins). Lights is a very calming game and graphics are awesome, too (like with most NetEnt slots). We think it’s one of their best releases for a while. Play on, players.
