Lights | Slot Game Review

Lights is a serene, Asian-inspired slot from NetEnt released in 2014, set at dusk with fireflies drifting across 5 reels, 3 rows, and just 9 paylines — a notably small line count for a NetEnt title. Its entire identity rests on Floating Wilds that appear on nearly every spin rather than a rare bonus trigger.

Before each base-game spin resolves, the game’s fireflies settle onto the reels and turn 2 to 4 random positions into wilds, a process that happens on virtually every spin rather than requiring a special trigger. Landing three or more of the crescent-moon-and-yin-yang scatter symbols activates the free spins round, awarding 10, 20, or 30 spins depending on scatter count, and during those free spins the number of Floating Wilds increases to 3 to 6 per spin, with further scatters able to retrigger the feature.

Pros

  • Floating Wilds appear on nearly every spin, not just during bonus rounds
  • Free spins increase Floating Wilds from 2-4 up to 3-6 per spin
  • 600x bet max win, per NetEnt’s official figures
  • Calm, distinctive Asian-inspired presentation stands out from typical NetEnt themes

Cons

  • Only 9 paylines is unusually low, even for an older NetEnt slot
  • Medium volatility with a fairly quiet, low-drama pace between bonus triggers
  • Floating Wilds land in random positions, so coverage varies spin to spin
