Platinum Lightning Demo & Review

Platinum Lightning review

Platinum Lightning is BGaming's original 2016 Zeus slot. It shares the same maths as the Deluxe version but has the older presentation, which some players prefer for its simplicity.

Scatters can appear anywhere and pay, with three, four and five scatters multiplying the win by 7x, 77x and 777x. Two bonus symbols on reels 1 and 5 trigger 10 free spins where those reels lock as wilds and only reels 2, 3 and 4 spin, so most spins in the bonus produce some win. An optional gamble follows base-game wins. BGaming lists medium-high volatility, an 8,888x maximum and a 96.29% RTP.
