I have been watching cartoons about superheroes and ancient deities since I was a wee ankle-biter. As I grew older I started reading comics because they were more fun. And I always preferred heroes and deities associated with storms and lightning. I even thought that Nikola Tesla was a superhero.
He was a master of lightning, eh? Sadly, I will probably never become either a mythological deity or a superhero. Hence, I need to satisfy myself with playing pokies that have loads of lightning. The Octoplay product is a perfect place for me.
Even though it appears as a classic pokie machine, Lighting Blitz: Chain Collect has several interesting additions that will even attract punters who prefer a bit of action in their pokies.
When it comes to the overall visual appearance, the 2024 release appears as an old-school slot. The reels are set on a blue background with blue light flashing in the background. Among regular symbols, you will find bells, stars, lemons, and cherries, as well as playing cards.
The diamond is used as a Wild that substitutes for all regular symbols. The lighting is the icon that delivers cash prizes and can appear in stacks on every reel.
Lightning Blitz: Chain Collect is one of the easiest pokies that I have ever tested, in terms of the rules of the game. The Octoplay title is played on a standard 5×3 grid. To win payouts, you need to land matching symbols on at least 3 successive reels, beginning from the far-left reel.
Betting starts at $0.10. The highest bet per spin is $100.The Autoplay option allows you to activate up to 500 automatic spins. Lightning Blitz: Chain Collect: Chain Collect is a low-variance pokie machine. It comes with a 95.72% RTP and 10,000x max payout.
This classic pokie will surprise you with a few interesting additional features which can occur on almost every spin. The Diamond Wild is there to substitute for all regular symbols. The lightning icons on the reels will help you land cash prizes.
Also, lighting symbols will surprise you with Lightning Respins and Lightning Plus features. These extras secure more lightning symbols and bigger cash prizes.
The Diamond Wild appears on all reels but the first. His only role is to substitute for all symbols but the lightning. The Wild helped me form plenty of winning combos.
If you land a lightning symbol with a respin label on it, you will trigger the Lightning Respin feature. All landed lightning icons will stick on their positions, while the remaining reels will perform a respin. I was lucky to trigger the feature more than once and I won a cash prize almost every time.
To start winning cash prizes, you need at least 6 lightning symbols on the reels. Depending on the number of landed lightning icons (6-15), you can pocket between 5x and 2,500x the bet. The most I managed to land in a single spin was 8, which secured me a 15x win.
If you land a lightning that carries a plus sign on it, the plus sign will double all lightning prizes. You can land up to 3 lightning symbols with a plus sign in 1 spin. Each plus sign will increase the initial prize by its original value.
So, for example, if you land 2 plus signs, you will turn the initial 5x multiplier into a 15x multiplier. This means that the top prize of 2,500x can go up to 10,000x, which is the maximum possible payout in Lightning Blitz: Chain Collect.
I landed several plus signs while I tested the game. In most cases, I didn’t get enough lightning symbols to get the boosted prize. The most I got was 6 symbols and 1 plus sign, which delivered a 10x multiplier.
Classic pokies are definitely not my cup of tea. I do not like slots with no action. Lightning Blitz: Chain Collect offers a couple of features and that made me try it out. I can’t say that I was amazed by the amount of extras. However, it got me interested.
I started fuming after about 2 hours because I couldn’t land more than 8 lightning symbols at the same time. I reckon that you will not see 15 lightning icons at the same time for yonks. Who knows, maybe Lady Luck loves you more than me.
All in all, Lightning Blitz: Chain Collect is a great pokie for beginners. It is easy to play and comes with a decent amount of features that you will understand quickly. It houses crisp graphics and a fitting soundtrack. I rate Lightning Blitz: Chain Collect 7.7.
