lantern luck slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Chinese lanterns have been used to decorate several slot games, including the recent release Guardians of Inari by Arcadem. The graphics do look much more high resolution in this game and are extremely bright and colourful, but I still didn’t find it very interesting to look at on the whole. The way that wins and wild labels appear on the screen is very pretty, however. The soundtrack is nice enough, to begin with, but is most people are sure to tire from hearing it eventually – probably sooner rather than later.

I’ll describe the best parts of the paytable using the primary colour of each of the Chinese lanterns that appear on the reel strips. Unfortunately, this will not be foolproof – people see many colours slightly different, and the colours that have been used by Habanero could be open to interpretation. The top-paying blue symbol returns 48x your stake for five-of-a-kind, whilst the white lantern immediately drops this down to just 16x. The very light purple halves again to 8x your stake for all five, and the remaining lamps aren’t even worth mentioning. Note that these figures can all receive one or more multipliers if any of the lamps are lit when they appear as part of a winning combination.

Bet sizes are selected using a combination of coin size and bet level. Bet level can range between 1 and 10 whereas the coin size can be set to values between €0.01 and €20.00. I double-checked these figures and they will differ depending on the currency you are actually playing in. The overall minimum and maximum bet sizes are €0.25 and €200.00 per spin.

base game & modifiers

The base game is all you have in Lantern Luck, unfortunately. There are no bonus rounds or features to speak of. Thankfully, Habanero did at least choose to include a couple of modifiers to keep things interesting. Basic gameplay takes place on a typical 5x3 playfield, with 25 paylines positioned in normal locations. The wild symbol only lands on the bottom row – a good thing when the wild re-spin is triggered, but strange and disappointing otherwise.
