Lightning Box Gallops Into Play With Lightning-Horseman

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Sydney, 25th July 2018 – Specialist slot developer Lightning Box is hoping to make sparks fly with its latest electric offering, Lightning-Horseman.

The 3×5 reel slot is set in the depths of a dark wood where headless highwaymen roam and mythical creatures protect the riches that lie in wait.

It will go live initially with Betsson on an exclusive basis on 25^th July, before general release to all Lightning Box’s NYX-OGS clients on 8^th August.

Players must take the reins on this equine adventure and roust up the wilds in an attempt to strike gold with the lightning jackpot.

And if the lightning bolt appears six times or more, the lightning respin is triggered and big jackpots are up for grabs.

Peter Causley, Lightning Box’s managing director and co-founder, said: “Lightning-Horseman is another great addition to our ever-growing portfolio and we are really excited to see how it goes down with players.

“We hope this to be the first in a long line of a series of Lightning games, followed up by Lightning-Leopard early in 2019.

“There are plenty of chances to make sparks fly if you can match up the lightning bolts and the more voltage they produce, the greater the jackpot.”

Paul Malt, Head of Games at Betsson, said: “We’re very excited about the launch of Lightning-Horseman and I’m sure our players will enjoy playing it. Lightning Box’s games are great performers and we’re delighted to be able to offer this latest one on an exclusive basis.”

Lightning-Horseman joins an ever-expanding portfolio of titles that are available across desktop, mobile, and land-based machines, including Silver Lioness4x, Respin Rhino, Silver Lion, and Stellar-Chilli Gold x2
