Colt Lightning - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Colt Lightning Slot Review

Colt Lightning is a video slot from the Play’n Go stable of games. The base game is played on a 3-4-4-4-3 reel set that creates 576 bet ways paying left to right. Landing a horseshoe symbol on the centre reel triggers the rapid re-spin feature in which reels expand and create 12,348 pay lines.

On any spin in the base game, Colt Strike can randomly trigger, increasing the number of colts on the reels. When the scatter symbol appears three times, free spins are awarded and the colts turn into super colts with a x2 win multiplier. This feature can re-trigger and is capped at 100 free games. The horseshoe can also land in this phase of the game. There is a wild symbol that substitutes for all winning symbols other than the scatter and the horseshoe symbol. The max win is x25000.

There are ten winning symbols in the base game, and the super colt appears in free games.

Our comprehensive Colt Lightning slot review follows below.

Theme

This is one of those slots that transport us to the Wild West trying to round up some colts and winnings, but some other wild animals are here, too.

Symbols

The symbols are well designed and reflect the theme of the game well.

Soundtrack

The theme tune is reminiscent of a Spaghetti Western and suits the design of the game.

Colt Lightning RTP and Variance 

Let’s look at the payout potential of the Colt Lightning slot.

RTP

This is one of the designer’s slots with a decent RTP of 96.24%, which is just about spot on the current industry average. However, there are reports of ranges, so check before you play.

Variance

The game displays high variance, which will not appeal to everyone. If you are happy with this level of volatility, why not try the Rabbit Royale Free slot available here at Slots Temple in demo mode?

Max Payout

Colt Lightning Review - Our Verdict 

Our Colt Lightning slot review begins with a look at the RTP of the Colt Lightning slot.

RTP

The RTP was probably just barely acceptable when the game was launched, but it is now well below the industry average at 94.27%.

Features

This is one of the designer’s slots that has some cool features, with Super Colts worth double the original value and free spins that can reach 100. The Colt Strike is also handy, increasing the number of top-value symbols in the base game. The fact that the reels can expand is also a plus.

Verdict

We feel we can recommend the game to most players, but you really have to be wary of the RTP.
