Colt Lightning (Play’n GO) – Review & Demo Play

Colt Lightning: Slot Overview

I loaded Play'n GO's Colt Lightning and got whisked to a prairie packed with cacti, ridges, and storm flashes. It runs on 5 reels in a 3-4-4-4-3 layout with 576 ways, and it can swell to 6-7-7-7-6 for 12,348 ways. Stakes start at 0.10 and cap at 100. The default RTP is 96.24% with lower variants, and volatility sits high at about 7/10. The loop mixes random Colt Strike symbol injections, Rapid Re-spins from a Horseshoe, and free spins where Super Colts take over.

Colt Lightning Slot Information

Low pays are 10, J, Q, K, and A, worth 1.2x to 2.5x for five of a kind. High pays are snake, wolf, cougar, and eagle, paying 3x to 5x for five. The colt shows only in the base game at up to 6x for five, then steps aside in the bonus for the Super Colt, which pays 12x for five. Wilds land on reels 2, 3, and 4, standing in for all pay symbols except the Scatter and the Horseshoe.

Wins hit on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel, using ways, not lines. The resting grid shows 3-4-4-4-3 symbols, and every expansion step adds one symbol to each reel, lifting the ways total sharply. Horseshoes show on the centre reel only, and scatters show on reels 2, 3, and 4. On mobile the artwork holds up well, while the audio has enough punch to give the Colt Strike and Rapid Re-spin moments a bit of drama without turning the base game into a slog.

Colt Lightning: Slot Features

Colt Strike can fire on any base spin, and when it does, more Colt symbols join the party. It is the feature I saw most often, sometimes lining up neat five-of-a-kind hits, sometimes fizzling. During Rapid Re-spins the chance of seeing a strike climbs, and that synergy is where the base can spike. It is simple in concept, yet it keeps the reels from feeling static while you wait on a Horseshoe or a scatter tease to show on the centre reels.

The Horseshoe lands only on reel 3 and triggers a Rapid Re-spin. The grid then grows by +1 symbol per reel, and you can retrigger twice, reaching 6-7-7-7-6 and 12,348 ways. Scatters sit out during these re-spins, but the extra reel estate and higher strike odds pick up the pace. When the re-spins finish, the panel snaps back to 3-4-4-4-3. I have had runs where it paid next to nothing, and others where stacked beasts linked right across for tidy bursts.

Three scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4 start 10 Super Colt Spins, with 10 more on every retrigger up to 100. The standard colt leaves the reels, replaced by the Super Colt at double value, and Colt Strike switches off. Horseshoes still help, adding height by +1 per hit, and those expanded reels persist across the bonus, making later spins the sweet spot. Once you reach 6-7-7-7-6, the Horseshoe symbol bows out, and it becomes a case of landing premiums in volume.

Colt Lightning: Slot Verdict

Colt Lightning plays like a busy prairie storm. In my sessions, Colt Strike cropped up most, Rapid Re-spins arrived here and there, and Super Colt Spins took the longest to land, which tracks with the payout profile. The max win sits at 25,000x, and while that is headline stuff, the game more often throws steady mid-range pops when the grid swells. With high volatility and multiple RTP settings down to 84.27%, I always check the info panel before I set my stake.
