Lantern Luck slot review

Author: Andrey Terehov · Reviewed by: Viktor Koval · Updated

A sky lantern is released with a wish: as long as the flame keeps rising and burning, the wish is still on its way. In Habanero's Lantern Luck, fireflies lead the way to a glowing wonderland of prosperity and hope, and the wilds behave just like those lanterns: once locked, they float a row higher with every re-spin. It all hinges on one rule: a re-spin run lasts as long as at least one wild is left on the reels.

The spec sheet: a 5x3 grid, 25 lines, low volatility, RTP from ~86% to 98% and a top win of x703. The flight rule: wilds land on reels 1, 3 and 5, and during re-spins they lock in place and move up one row each time.

Which reels do the wilds take off from?

The stage is a familiar one: five reels, three rows and 25 paylines.

Wilds land on reels 1, 3 and 5 — every other reel, covering both edges and the centre. The provider sums up the game's special feature in a few words: wild symbols move up one row. That movement is what the whole game is built around.

How long do the lanterns stay aloft?

The rules don't include a separate bonus round: the action happens in the re-spins.

💡 How the lanterns gain height

  • wilds land on reels 1, 3 and 5;
  • re-spins play out with the wilds locked;
  • on every re-spin, the wilds move up one row;
  • the run continues while there are wilds on the reels, with no limit on the number of re-spins.

With only three rows on the grid, no wild has far to travel before it reaches the top edge. What triggers the first re-spin, and whether new wilds can land mid-run, the source doesn't specify.

Why doesn't “no limit” mean “no ceiling”?

The “no limit” in the rules only covers the number of re-spins. Wins do have a ceiling: x703, or 703 times the bet. Volatility is LOW, and on the numbers, Lantern Luck gives off a steady glow rather than blinding flashes.

The theoretical return also depends on the RTP version, and that's the casino's choice.

⚠️ How much oil will the casino pour?

A lantern burns as long as the oil lasts, and how much goes into Lantern Luck is up to the venue: the game ships in five RTP versions — ~86%, 92%, 94%, 97% and 98%. The thinnest fill falls ≈12 percentage points of theoretical return short of the fullest. The RTP line in the game info shows how much is in your lantern — check it before you light the first one.

Wishes granted

  • Wilds land on three of the five reels — 1, 3 and 5, both edges included.
  • In re-spins, wilds lock in place and climb one row with every re-spin.
  • Re-spins have no cap: the run goes on while at least one wild remains on the reels.
  • LOW volatility, and the top RTP version is 98%.

Wishes on hold

  • Wins top out at x703: “no limit” refers to re-spins, and the biggest win is 703 times the bet.
  • No separate bonus round or free spins: the game is base spins plus re-spins with rising wilds.
  • The rules only name reels 1, 3 and 5 for wilds — reels 2 and 4 get none.
  • The casino may light up the ~86% RTP version, ≈12 points below the top one, 98%.

Who should follow the fireflies?

Player profileVerdictWhy
Fans of re-spin runs with no counter🟢 YesThere's no cap on re-spins: the run lasts while at least one wild remains, and the wilds climb a row with every re-spin.
Newcomers looking for an easy-to-read slot🟢 Likely yes5x3, 25 lines, LOW volatility and one special mechanic — wilds that move up a row.
Players who want wilds on every reel🟠 Likely noThe rules only name reels 1, 3 and 5 for wilds.
Anyone hoping the re-spins will never end🟡 CautionThe number of re-spins is unlimited, but the run stops as soon as no wilds remain, and the grid is only three rows high; wins also top out at x703, and some venues run the ~86% RTP version.

⚡ Lantern Luck: which wishes come true?

Make three wishes and check them against the rules. A relaxed pace? Granted: volatility is LOW. A long re-spin run? Possible: the game puts no cap on re-spins, and the run continues while at least one wild remains on the grid. A payout in the thousands? Not here: the ceiling is x703. If the first two wishes are enough for you, all that's left is to check the RTP version at your venue. Lantern Luck's lanterns fly for as long as they burn, yet not one of them rises past x703.

Questions and answers about the Lantern Luck slot

1 Which reels do Wilds appear on in Lantern Luck?

Only on the first, third and fifth. The second and fourth reels always stay free of Wild symbols.

2 How do Wilds behave during Respins in Lantern Luck?

They are locked in place and move up one row with each Respin. Once a Wild reaches the top edge, it leaves the grid.

3 Why does it matter which row a Wild lands in?

A Wild from the bottom row travels across the entire grid from bottom to top and stays on the reels longer. A Wild that lands right at the top will disappear almost immediately.

4 When do Respins end in Lantern Luck?

When there are no Wilds left on the grid. There's no limit on the number of Respins, so fresh Wild symbols can stretch the series out for a long time.

5 Is Lantern Luck suitable for relaxed play?

Yes, volatility here is low: payouts come often but are small. The cap is modest — 703x the bet on 25 lines.
