What is Lantern Luck by Habanero?

Lantern Luck is a 5-reel, 3-row slot game from Habanero, which features 25 fixed paylines and the chance to win up to 702x.

During gameplay, you can experience features like Wilds, which may appear on reels 1,3 and 5 of the bottom row and substitute for all symbols, and Lantern Multipliers, which add 1x to the winning multiplier of any successful payline.

Re-Spins are also available, and are triggered when Wild symbols appear on reels 1, 3 and 5. During Re-Spins, Wild symbols are locked and move up one row before the reels land, but are removed from the grid if they are on the top row. These Re-Spins are uncapped and will continue until there are no Wilds left on the grid.

The title is available at JPC, where you can register your first account and take advantage of a welcome bonus with the JackpotCity signup code “NEWBONUS”.
