Slot Overview

Arc Lord is a high-volatility Backseat Gaming slot that boasts lightning-inspired visuals, expanding wilds, a global multiplier, and a solid maximum win potential of 25,000x. With Free Spins, a Bonus Buy option, and the action played on a 5×5 grid, is Arc Lord a slot worth checking out? Find out in this detailed slot review!

Gameplay & Bonus Features

Arc Lord uses a 5-reel, 5-row layout with 19 fixed paylines. Wins are paid from left to right. You can bet between €0.10 and €40 per spin, and the game’s default RTP is 96.26%; note, however, that lower RTP configurations are also available. After each win, Cascading Reels is active, which sees the winning symbols removed and new ones dropping down to take their place.

Now, whenever a Zeus symbol lands, it adds 1 to 5 wild reels on the grid. After triggering, the Zeus symbol itself acts as a wild, and this can happen at any time (in both the base game and bonus rounds.) Only one unactivated Zeus can land at once, however. There is also a global multiplier, which starts at 1x. This increases by +1 on each tumble win. In the base game, it resets between spins.

Landing 3 scatters awards the Thunderstrike bonus, giving you 10 free games. Here, the difference to the base game is that the global multiplier doesn’t reset between spins. Instead, it continues to grow and only resets once the feature ends.

If you manage to land 4 scatters, you’ll trigger the Lord or Lightning Bonus, and this awards you 15 free games with a starting global multiplier of 5x. The rules are the same as the Thunderstrike Bonus, bar the non-resetting Global Multiplier.

Now, when either bonus round triggers, there’s also an optional gamble that you can play. This can award extra starting spins or start you with a higher global multiplier. You can gamble up to 3 times or collect the current feature instead.

Bonus Buy & FeatureSpins

Arc Lord includes multiple optional Bonus Buy/FeatureSpins options:

  • BonusHunt FeatureSpins: Makes each spin 3x more likely to trigger a bonus round at a cost of 2x your base game stake.
  • Thunder FeatureSpins: Costs 50x and guarantees a Zeus symbol on every spin.
  • Thunderstrike Bonus Buy: Costs 100x for 10 free games.
  • Lord of Lightning Bonus Buy: Costs 250x for 15 free games.

Theme & Design

Arc Lord takes place in a dark, lab-like setting, and you’ll see dark stormy skies at the top of the screen, with an arcane-tech-like setting, and it kind of gives off a feeling of occult ritual, with some high-voltage machinery thrown into the mix, too! It’s well-designed, we feel, and you’ll see a wide variety of symbols, from playing card values, including 10, jack, queen, king, and ace, as the low-value ones, and various artefacts as the high-value symbols. If you enjoy darker, feature-dense video slots like Cult and Mental, then Arc Lord will probably be right up your street!

Pros

  • Huge maximum win potential of 25,000x.
  • Global Multiplier is quite exciting, especially during the bonus rounds.
  • Expanding Wilds can work nicely alongside the multipliers.

Cons

  • It’s a very high variance game; expect lots of dead spins.
  • No Hidden Epic Bonus.
  • RTP can vary by casino.

Final Thoughts

Arc Lord is a classic modern “multiplier slot”: a dark, high-volatility 5x5 grid slot that clearly has been built around bonus rounds “connecting” with each other, as opposed to one-off feature hits. Yes, the 19-payline setup won’t suit everyone, but this is pretty standard for Backseat Gaming by now.

We like the Global Multiplier, especially during the Free Spins, and we also like the Gamble mechanic, even if it’s not going to be something that appeals to everyone.

Arc Lord is very volatile, but that's to be expected for a game that offers a maximum win potential of up to 25,000x. If you like intense visuals, multiplier-focused design, and bonus-focused swings (plus a very naughty gamble), then this is definitely a slot you’ll want to check out for yourself once it’s live!
