Few slots have transformed the slot machine industry as much as Lightning Link, which recently celebrated a decade on casino floors. Now, as part of Aristocrat Interactive’s efforts to bring the most popular Aristocrat Gaming casino floor titles to an online audience, the Lightning Link slot is now available to play on regulated real money gaming (RMG) online casinos in North America, starting with the High Stakes theme. Additional themes will follow.
“The launch of Lightning Link brings one of the most successful land-based slot game families in history to online players across the U.S. and Canada. This is a full-scale network rollout supported by the industry’s largest operators, featuring a roadmap of subsequent legendary titles,” Aristocrat Interactive CEO Dylan Slaney said.
The online Lightning Link maintains the two progressives format players are used to seeing in casinos, with them being linked among players as they are in the casino. The same progressives are available at all bets, and increasing your bet proportionally increases your chances at winning the progressives, just like in the physical casino. The online version features both low limit and high limit denomination options to play.
Lightning Link introduced the now ubiquitous concept of the Hold & Spin, with cash on reels prizes being held and collected during the feature to determine what you win. Lightning Link has been the genesis of an entire line of games from Aristocrat, including Dragon Link and Lightning 10 Year Storm, both of which were recently introduced with a $5 million starting Grand progressive prize variation.
Brian Christopher celebrated the occasion of the online Lightning Link launch by going live in Connecticut to play the new online version, as well as the physical version still found in casinos throughout the country. During the live stream, Brian was playing Lightning Link both at Foxwoods Casino and on DraftKings Casino concurrently, showing the mirrored gameplay experience across both casino options.
The live stream also coincides with the announcement that he has partnered with DraftKings for online casino play starting with this live stream. Brian will be producing a variety of content with DraftKings Casino, including both long-form and short-form content.
Brian will be back at Foxwoods at the end of September, hosting a joint meet and greet event with Mr. Handpay on September 26 at 5 pm Eastern. Attendees will have photo opportunities with both creators, drinks and a chance to win a share of $10,000 in free play!
