About this Slot
Ride the Lightning is a music-themed slot from Pragmatic Play with an RTP of 96.5%, high volatility and a maximum win of 10,000x stake.
The game features three types of wild symbols. Blue and Red wilds substitute for standard symbols, while the 3X Wild multiplies any win it completes by three times.
Jackpot wins are based on total bet and can occur during both the base game and bonus rounds.
A scatter symbol on reel 3 triggers the free spins round, awarding 10 spins to begin. During free spins, each spin applies a random multiplier between 2x and 20x to all wins, including jackpots. Landing a scatter during the free spins round retriggered the feature with 10 additional spins.
The Buy Feature allows players to activate the free spins round instantly without waiting for a scatter trigger.
