Game overview
Lightning Link: Pearls is a slot game developed by Aristocrat as part of the Lightning Link series. The game follows the established reel-based structure of the franchise while introducing pearl-themed symbols that visually distinguish its feature presentation.
The base game operates on fixed paylines with symbol combinations consistent with other Lightning Link titles. Its primary gameplay feature is the Hold and Spin bonus, triggered by specific symbols that activate a respin-based round with locked values.
During the Hold and Spin feature, special pearl symbols lock into place while a limited number of respins are awarded. Each newly landed symbol resets the respin counter, allowing the bonus to extend under predefined rules. This mechanic concentrates much of the game’s potential outcomes into feature rounds.
Lightning Link: Pearls is generally categorised as a medium-to-high volatility slot. Base game results occur with moderate frequency, while bonus rounds introduce higher variability depending on symbol configuration and respin progression. These characteristics are governed by the game’s internal mathematical model.
From a technical perspective, Lightning Link: Pearls uses a random number generator (RNG) to ensure that all spin outcomes and feature events are independent and determined within fixed parameters.
