The Wisecracker Lightning (Red Tiger)

Red Tiger continues its trend of releasing high-quality games 

The Wisecracker Lightning is a glossy game featuring a jester (the ‘wisecracker’) and bold fruit symbols as well as a new ‘Lightning Strike’ mechanic. The latter can increase the multiplier of the game’s super symbols by up to x100, helping players land impressive wins. The game looks sleek and luxurious, with deep golden hues and dark red adorning both the grid and the background of the game. The 5×3 grid is surrounded with glimmering gold twisted into striking shapes, while the symbols stand starkly against the simple dark background.  

The game is relatively novel for Red Tiger. The developer has no shortage of great slots, but most of them tend to rely on more traditional design. The Wisecracker Lightning is an interesting upgrade to its penchant for fruit and lightning-themed games. The graphics are eye-catching without being gaudy or ostentatious and the soundtrack completes the rather elegant experience admirably.  

Red Tiger’s new slot is just as fun as it is attractive. Players will enjoy the light-hearted romp across the reels in the quest to merge a stack of matching symbols into a 1×3 Super Symbol. These become ‘sticky’ and hang around for the next spin. Super Symbols remain locked in place as long as players continue to add to them. The Lightning Strike feature is another chance for players to win big as it strikes on consecutive spins and can increase the Super Symbol’s multiplier each time. 

One of the few disappointing aspects of the game is its relatively low non-multiplier payout of 100x. Players will find themselves at the mercy of the Lightning Strikes, which might not be ideal for longer play sessions dedicated to rewarding wins rather than entertainment alone.  

Players interested in trying The Wisecracker Lightning are in luck! The game launched on 20th May 2021 at Unibet and will hit wide release on 19th August 2021.
