Dragon Riches Lightning Link
The Lightning Link video slot feature was released by Aristocrat in 2015 on four different titles. The games in question include Happy Lantern (a Chinese-themed slot), Magic Pearl (which features dolphins and other sea creatures), Sahara Gold (a game that takes place in the desert), and High Stakes, which is all about living the dream in Las Vegas. See Lightning Link is a unique as it's the first (and only) multi-denom local area progressive. This is why the game is almost everywhere as it meets most jurisdictional requirements. The game is designed in a way to change the calculations based on the denominations without having to change the payback percentages (win win).
My hat is off to the folks at Aristocrat for the innovative Lightning Link series which has hypnotized me as well as legions of others around the globe.
I'm limited at my local to just 2 variations, High Stakes ( My Go to weekly ), and Happy Lantern.
I'm curious about different discoveries you have made playing the various Lightning Links games that you can share with us.
Examples:
Last Thursday, Playing High Stakes, I had back to back wins of 5 Golden Suitcases, which pay 100x your wager, which was fantastic.
A while ago my Daughter got what we call a ' Hat Trick ', getting a Mini, a Minor, and a Major, all together in a Lightning Round.
I've found $.50 x 2 , and $ 1.50 x 1 wagers to be my ' sweet spots ' for coaxing out the Lightning Strikes .
I'm convinced that always trying to play the machine with the highest posted MAJOR jackpot has helped me win it 6 times now.
JMG5890, I'll bet you could write a book on all your observations.
The Fanatic Nation eagerly awaits all of your your Lightning Link Observations...
While there is no huge difference in the moment-to-moment gameplay of any of the Lightning Link slots (though that could be said for any pokie), they all have been approached in different ways.

There are 16 slot games in the Lightning Link range. They are:
- Magic Pearl, which features mermaids and an undersea theme.
- High Stakes, a Los Vegas-themed game.

One of the most interesting features of the Lightning Link series is reminiscent of Aristocrat’s popular Reel Power feature. Players can choose to wager different amounts of money on the pokie, and there is a different number of paylines based on how much. What is a little unusual is that lower bet amounts let punters play more paylines than higher bet amounts, though higher bet amounts do increase the amount of money that can be won during the shared bonus game.
Lightning Link Dragon Riches Slot Machine
Like most every pokie, each of the Lightning Link games features a Wild and Scatter symbol. These are all based on the theme of the slot. While the symbols are different, they act the same across every slot in the series. Wilds can substitute for any symbol except for Scatters, and spinning three or more Scatters activates the bonus game for that slot.
