Ride The Lightning Demo & Review

Ride The Lightning review

Ride the Lightning is a compact 3x3, nine-payline slot with wild multipliers and four jackpots. The '3x' wild multiplies any win it's part of, except jackpot wins. Landing any wild on a winning line awards the Mini jackpot, while three matching wilds award the Minor, Major or Grand jackpot, worth up to 500x.

A Bonus symbol on reel three awards 10 free spins. On every spin in the bonus, a random multiplier between 2x and 20x applies to wins, including jackpots, and another Bonus symbol retriggers the round. That multiplier on jackpots is how the game reaches its 10,000x maximum. The RTP is 96.5%. A neat mix of a retro layout and modern features.

RTP: the default return to player is 96.50%, meaning that over a very large number of spins the game is designed to pay back around 96.5 units for every 100 wagered. Some casinos may run a lower configuration; the info screen inside the game shows the exact figure. How RTP works.

Volatility: The provider hasn't published an official volatility rating for Ride The Lightning, so we don't label it. Judge it from the demo: if wins are rare but bonus rounds carry most of the value, treat it as a higher-variance game and size your stake accordingly. Volatility explained.

Max win: the maximum payout is 10,000x the stake. What max win really means.
