Lights is a Netent slot that draws inspiration from Asian paper lanterns, offering an enlightening experience with sky-high wins. Originally released in 2014, the symbols may look a little dated, but the overall look of the slot still holds up well. The rolling hills and snow-covered mountains in the background firmly place this game in Asia, with an animated river adding a great touch to set the mood.
For those looking for similar slots, Dragon’s Luck by Red Tiger and Big Win Cat by Play ‘n Go also offer Asian-inspired themes. Lights follows a standard 5-reel, 3-row playing field with 10 paylines, keeping things simple in design and gameplay. However, the use of paper lanterns as a source of inspiration is well-incorporated into the game design.
The sound design is likewise simple, with mythical-sounding light gongs and a muted, calming background music. The game’s medium volatility allows for a reasonably steady supply of wins while playing.
The different symbols in Lights are largely in theme. The high-paying symbols are different types and colours of paper lanterns. Meanwhile, the lower-paying symbols are cards. They are originally designed and have an Asian look to them but are still rather simple.
They are from highest to lowest:
As you can probably tell, there are quite a few symbols which makes getting a winning payline a bit harder. Luckily the Wilds show up pretty often so that helps. Light lists a Medium Volatility and I thought that fit my personal experience well. You can expect a reasonably steady supply of wins while playing.
Lights keeps things simple when it comes to its features. It has a few that can’t be surprising to even the most casual of players. They interact well with each other but don’t require much input from the player.
I’ll list the features below:
As you can see, it’s a short but sweet list. Free Spins and Wilds are about the staple of any slot. The only change Lights makes to the basic formula is the fact that the Wilds are random and appear on top of the symbols instead of replacing them completely. When it comes to the gameplay, I don’t think it matters at all.
The Free Spins mode has a nice background that’s different from the base game. We’re presented with a giant full moon dominating the night sky, bathing everything in a deep blue. I thought that was a nice detail for a game mode that is pretty much the same to the base game in every other way.

Netent often develops games that have a whole range of features. Games like Planet of the Apes and Finn and the Swirly Spin take that to the extreme degree with almost a dozen features each. Lights is in sharp contrast with those, with only a bare minimum of features.
Everything about this slot seems to be aimed at the goal of giving the player a nice, relaxing experience. You’ll probably play this slot for a while when you’re looking to calm down. Perhaps you’re watching something on television or you’re getting ready for bed and want to get some spins in. In that case, Lights is a great option.
The game has a max. win of 1,000x your bet which I thought was a nice compromise with its Medium Volatility. There is not much that will keep you coming back unfortunately and I’m sure I played this game when it first came out but I can’t remember it at all.
You can play Lights in English, Finnish, Swedish, German and 20 other languages.
Lights supports GBP, EUR, SEK, NOK and 33 other currencies.
The main theme of Lights slot is nature and its beauty. The slot game is set in a magical forest where players can see different animals and plants. The game also has a calming and relaxing soundtrack that makes players feel like they are in a real forest.
Lights is a highly volatile game, meaning that players can expect to see high amounts of fluctuation in their bankrolls. However, this also means that players have the potential to win big if they are lucky.
