Pragmatic Play Outlines a Classic Adventure in Lucky Lightning
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the gaming industry, draws inspiration from the heroes of Olympus in the launch of its latest slot title, Lucky Lightning.
Players will find themselves in an Ancient Greek setting in the provider’s new 3×5 slot, with symbols featuring Greek gods Zeus and Hera and various staples of Greek mythology, such as the Minotaur of Crete, the legendary Griffin, and the winged horse, Pegasus.
The central mechanic in Lucky Lightning is the Wild Respin feature, which is triggered randomly when a Lightning Symbol lands on the first two reels, affecting them in one of two ways. The feature will either grow the size of the grid to a 3×6 layout or boost the final reels holding four rows instead of three, bumping the initial 243 paylines up to a much higher number.
The Coverall feature also requires Wilds to be present on the first two reels, along with Coin symbols landing in all positions on the following reels, which will immediately pay the prizes shown on all the Coin symbols, which carry multiplier values between1 and 500 as well as Jackpots that randomly appear in this feature.
To trigger the Free Game, players will need to land at least three Bonus symbols, which will trigger an equivalent of 10, 15 or 50 free spins. Alternatively, players in certain jurisdictions can access the 3×6 Free Game with a Purchase option, setting them back 100x the value of the bet.
Lucky Lightning is the latest title to be added to Pragmatic Play’s vast slot offering, featuring recent hits Buffalo King Megaways, as well as the 200+ HTML5 titles in the provider’s award-winning games portfolio.
Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Our latest release is inspired by the rich mythology that surrounds the divine occupants of Mount Olympus, and this is reflected in the title’s vast offering of features.
“With so much on offer to players, the rewarding adventure and big win potential ensures that Lucky Lightning will be a hit for fans globally!”
Pragmatic Play currently produces up to five new slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.

Casino Guru enriches its portfolio with a dedicated sweepstakes casino database and updated safety index
Casino Guru, the global authority on online casino transparency and player safety, is expanding its portfolio with the introduction of a dedicated sweepstakes casino overview tailored to the rapidly evolving U.S. market.
Following months of in-depth research and development, the company has unveiled a new initiative focused on social sweepstakes casinos — a unique and increasingly popular segment of the online gaming space. As part of this expansion, Casino Guru has adapted its trusted Safety Index to reflect the specific characteristics of sweepstakes casino models.
“We’ve been hearing about sweepstakes casinos for quite some time, from social media buzz to community discussions and expert panels,” said Jozef Krucay, Branch Operations Lead at Casino Guru. “It became clear this wasn’t just a passing trend, but a notable shift in how people engage with online entertainment.”
Unlike traditional online casinos, sweepstakes casinos use virtual currencies such as Gold Coins, Sweeps Cash, or Vegas Gems. Players can enjoy games for free or use purchasable coins to enhance their experience. With some luck, they may receive a special sweepstakes currency, which can be redeemed for real-world prizes — presenting both exciting opportunities and important considerations for player protection.
Casino Guru’s newly launched content includes:
- Listings for 11 published sweepstakes casinos, with over 60 more identified and currently in development
- An adapted Safety Index that reflects the distinct risks and rules of sweepstakes platforms
- Educational materials and player resources, including complaint-handling tools
- Planned detailed reviews to provide deeper insights into each platform
“Our goal is to help players navigate this growing space with the same clarity and confidence we’ve brought to traditional online casinos,” Jozef added. “As always, our focus remains on transparency, safety, and informed decision-making.”
This new direction positions Casino Guru at the forefront of player advocacy in emerging casino formats — with a clear path toward future expansion in the broader world of social and sweepstakes gaming.
