“Our games are designed to appeal to the regular repeat player, so it’s only over a long period of time that players will get to experience the full mathematical enjoyment of the game as well,” he explains.

Olive says that experiencing all of Lightning Link’s features won’t happen overnight, but it is this depth of game play that makes it so unique. Likewise, the Free Games feature with Mega Symbols sees the middle three reels filled with one large symbol on each spin, again creating an opportunity to win big. Each pearl that drops sees the player win a prize and if all 15 slots are filled the player wins the Grand Jackpot. Players can hit one of two different features, including the Hold and Spin bonus where players look to fill 15 vacant slots with 15 pearls. The appeal of the games is more than just visual, however. “We’ve developed a range of themes and the initial performance has been great – the players love it.” “Our fourth game coming out, ‘Emperor’s Treasure’, brings a Chinese emperor into it so if you don’t like fortune gods then maybe you won’t like ‘Emperor’s Treasure’, but there is something there for everyone. They’ll recognize the Choy Sun Doa fortune god game which is ʻHappy Lanternʼ, they’ll recognize dragons in our ʻDragon’s Richesʼ game and Tigers have always been very popular which are in our ‘Eyes of Fortune’ title. We’ve used themes that players will recognize as soon as they walk up to the machine. “Before we imported the game to Macau we came up with two other titles – ‘Dragon’s Riches’ and ‘Eyes of Fortune’. “I believe in localized content and I think the region demands that, so we’ve had some work to do to bring Lightning Link to Macau because in Australia and in the US, we’ve got 10 titles on Lightning Link and only one of those, ‘Happy Lantern’, was a Chinese themed game,” explains Scott Olive, Principal of High Roller Gaming studio and creator of Lightning Link.
