Play Lucky Lanterns for Free

My first impression of Lucky Lanterns was that it’s a bright and colorful Halloween-themed slot with more treats than tricks. The mysterious soundtrack enticed me towards the haunted mansion in the background. Cute animated symbols such as black kittens, witches’ hats, and spell books fit the theme nicely. I commend Funky Games for its dual-reel setup, which made me jump up and take notice. The main 3x3 reel set offers three-of-a-kind winning combos across five paylines. The special reel is filled with candy multipliers and respin bonus symbols that trigger free spins. Jackpot pumpkins offer chances to win five fixed jackpots, and this was enough to make me want to spin the demo game.

One of the reasons I like the gameplay, bets, features, and bonuses of Lucky Lanterns is that everything is there in front of you. There’s no jumping to different screens, and the spin speed is quick enough to stop losing runs from feeling too boring. I wished the Special Reel spun after the three main reels, as the prospect of landing a big prize multiplier would add a little more anticipation to winning spins.

Feels Highly Volatile

I couldn’t find any information about the volatility of Lucky Lanterns, but it felt highly volatile. After a couple of lengthy spin sessions, I found my bankroll had decreased at a rate significantly more than the 96% RTP, despite landing a few minor jackpots and other decent wins. As the top prize is 1,000x, you must expect these kinds of losses sometimes.

Special Reel Multiplier

This is one of the features that made me interested in playing Lucky Lanterns, and its mechanics didn’t disappoint. If a multiplier lines up with one of the five paylines, it multiplies any win on that line between 2x and 20x.

Respin Free Spins

This feature sounds like a nice addition, but it left me frustrated. Hitting three respin bonus symbols on the special reel awards just five free spins, yet I didn’t trigger it once.

Lucky Lanterns

Jackpot pumpkins land on the main reel grid, and three to nine of them will win you one of the five fixed jackpot prizes. I managed to win a few mini jackpots, but it’s the potential to win the 1,000x grand jackpot that made me want to keep on spinning.

If you’re hot for Halloween-theme games right now, Halloween Jack and Jack O'Lantern vs The Headless Horseman are similar slots to Lucky Lanterns that I’m happy to recommend. The first of these games is one I enjoy when I’m hoping to activate free spins, multipliers, and many wild treats. The second is more for when my mood is a little darker and excited by the prospect of triggering the Fight of the Shadows Mini-Game.

My final verdict of Lucky Lanterns is that I had a tough run, especially as I didn’t activate any free spins in what were quite lengthy sessions. I did enjoy the gameplay, especially the Dual Reel mechanic and chances to win the five jackpot prizes. It’s not currently at the top of my hot list, but I enjoyed it enough to recommend that you at least try the free demo slot.
