Lightning Eclipse Game Features

This tropical island-themed slot game offers a total of 243 possible winning combinations over five reels and three rows. Its most prominent features are expanding wilds, Lightning Respins, and free spins.

Wild symbols only appear on reels 2–5, but should at least two fall into view, they expand to form wild statues, grant a respin, and create a climate ripe with winning possibilities.

Players should keep an eye out for scatter lighting bolts — at least six of them will initiate the Lightning Respins feature, during which colossal symbols of 2×2 and 3×3 size can appear to split into jackpots and prizes.

The moon scatter grants passage to the Free Spins bonus game, where players are awarded eight, 15, or 30 free games.

Lightning Eclipse Bonuses and Jackpots

Here’s how the Lightning Eclipse slot bonus features play out:

Lightning Respins: Hitting 6–13 scatter lightning bolts triggers three respins. The triggering bolts are added to the win meter, and landing more of them resets the respin count. Active reels are randomly chosen each spin — indicated by a lightning bolt that envelops one or multiple reels. When respins end, all cash values and jackpots are collected. Colossal 2×2 or 3×3 symbols may appear during the feature, splitting into cash prizes or jackpots — mini, minor, major, or grand.

Free spins: Landing 3–5 moon scatters triggers eight, 15, or 30 free spins, respectively, offering plenty of opportunities to score big. During free spins, the Wild Upgrade Respin or Expanding Wild feature may also activate, adding an extra layer of excitement. Additionally, hitting 6–13 scatter lightning bolts triggers the Lightning Respin feature. Once the Lightning Respin feature concludes, any remaining free spins will resume seamlessly.

How To Win Lightning Eclipse

This top online casino slot offers potential rewards across its five reels and three rows. Unlike many other slot games, Lightning Eclipse doesn’t use fixed paylines, offering 243 possible winning combinations instead. A standard win is awarded when at least three matching symbols land adjacent anywhere on the reels, starting on reel 1.

But the most electrifying win potential is offered by expanding wilds and, especially, the Lightning Respins Bonus, with its multiple potential jackpot wins. Keep in mind that the game’s volatility is high, meaning solid wins with long potential lulls in between, which means you have to budget accordingly. Fortunately, the slot game RTP (return to player) of 96% is quite forgiving, and the 5,223x max win is worthy of many competing jackpot slots.

Lightning Eclipse Graphics and Design

This themed slot by Lightning Box presents a tropical island atmosphere through good graphics, with various symbols becoming animated when a win is achieved. What really completes this slot game’s presentation is its smooth and serene soundtrack that relies on light chants, wildlife noises, and light bamboo chimes. The way the action alternates between the laid-back base game and the frenzied Lightning Respins Bonus is very similar to how long, lazy days give way to party nights in the tropics.
