Lightning Box concocts scientific adventure with new release Experi-MENTAL

Light & Wonder announced the launch of its new game, Experi-MENTAL, stacked with features, modifiers and a clash with the mad scientist.

Experi-MENTAL has two in-game features to enhance the overall player experience.

This 3×5 title, exhibits the distinctive expanding wild feature, which can award huge prizes for players should the wild brain symbol expand and replicate by five times during the free games round.

When players enter the mad scientist’s lab, they will stumble across the upgrading feature, which zaps the 9, 10, J, Q, K or A symbols into high-paying icons, including test tubes, power switch, cat, pug or man. The wins are then accumulated and paid out once the reels have stopped spinning.

The barrel pick feature can radio-activate the feature by awarding an extra 15 free games, as players are presented with highly dangerous barrels with an unknown material.

A meter appears when players select a barrel, with a red area and a green area in view. Landing on the meter’s green area ensures the free games round is triggered and additional games are awarded but landing in the red zone activates only the round itself.

The classic free games mode is unlocked when scatter symbols appear, with five scatters granting the maximum of 10 free games and the barrel pick feature. During the round, free games can be retriggered at any time.

Experi-MENTAL is set to go live with Caesars in New Jersey, Michigan and Ontario initially, and will be available at a later date to customers of Light & Wonder’s industry-leading OpenGaming platform.

Michael Maokhamphiou, studio director at Lightning Box, said: “Experi-MENTAL is one wacky slot game and we believe it can propel our slots onto the next level.

“During this game, players can unlock some new features, which add a dramatic element to this slot and classic round that are a cornerstone of Lightning Box’s portfolio. We are in no doubt they will love taking on the mad scientist in this epic title.”

Rob Procter, VP of game development at Light & Wonder, said: “2024 is going to be a big year for Lightning Box and the launch of Experi-MENTAL gives players the opportunity to showcase this thrilling game.

“With a variety of different features exhibited on this captivating title, it sets Lightning Box apart from its competitors, ensuring the player experience is unrivalled.”
