Sky Lanterns

Sky Lanterns is the title of a CQ9 Gaming slot machine which, as the title itself says, features luminous lanterns. Explaining what luminous lanterns are is not difficult, since they have also become very common in the West. They are paper wrappers inside which a flame is lit which, with its heat, makes the lantern fly upwards. The night sky is filled with these points of light, creating a very impressive show. The lighting of luminous lanterns is a ritual that is repeated on the occasion of holidays, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays. Sky Lanterns by CQ9 Gaming celebrates this custom and does it in a very poetic and suggestive way.

In fact, we will see how even in the game the lanterns rise towards the sky and with their brightness they can give you a better chance of completing winning combinations. Sky Lanterns is first of all a very nice slot to look at, and therefore extremely pleasant to play. However, we will find out how even its gameplay has a lot to offer to a player hoping to get high winnings. Let's analyze together its symbols, its features and all the rules of this CQ9 Gaming game.

Sky Lanterns Overview

Sky Lanterns is a freeslots that is played on a 5x4 grid and has 50 paylines. On these paylines you will have to try to align 3 to 5 identical symbols in order to make winning combinations. The grid is therefore very simple and you find all the buttons you need to play on the right, next to the fifth reel. This shows us how Sky Lanterns is a mobile first slot, therefore designed primarily for those who play from smartphones or tablets or other mobile devices. However, this CQ9 Gaming slot machine can also be played from a desktop computer, as it was created using the Html5 programming language. This programming language makes each game compatible with any type of device, with any browser and with any operating system used.

So we were talking about the game buttons that are grouped on the right, and are the play and the more or less buttons that are used to set the bet. However, by pressing the small arrow located next to Play, the plus or minus keys are transformed into autoplay keys. In the first case, autoplay will be activated at a standard speed. Pressing the second button will instead activate autoplay at accelerated speed. The background of the game grid shows us the glowing lanterns once again. We see them continuously rising towards the sky, while the buildings we are shown are typically oriented. In fact, we recall that CQ9 Gaming is a Taiwanese software provider that calibrates its games especially for the oriental audience. But, as you will be able to ascertain yourself, this slot is extremely enjoyable even by a western audience.

Sky Lanterns Symbols

Sky Lanterns has a very simple paytable, which is made up of nine icons in all, of which 6 are low-paying and only 3 are those that return the biggest winnings. To consult the paytable in its specific values, you can use the Menu key found in the lower left part of the game screen. We can only briefly summarize the fact that the symbols that pay the least are the four letters of the playing cards and the two numbers 9 and 10, while the three symbols that return the greatest winnings are red firecrackers, a blue drum and finally an ideogram, the symbol of pays more than all the others.

There are also two special symbols, because of course the luminous lantern also had to appear in the paytable. In fact it is the Wild which, as we will see, has very particular characteristics. The Wild substitutes for other symbols as Wild, but cannot substitute for the other special symbol of this slot which is the Scatter. The Scatter is a silver Gong and will be used to activate the Free Spins feature, which we will tell you about in the next paragraph.

Sky Lanterns Features

The special features of this slot are simple but extremely intriguing and represent the most interesting part of the slot, which is high volatility. This means that it also returns very high winnings, but only with a low frequency. So if you want to play for real, arm yourself with patience before waiting for a win to arrive. However, we remind you that on our site you can play Sky Lanterns in the demo version, therefore for free.

We have said that the Wild has particular characteristics. If the Wild lanterns appear on reels 2 or 4 they have a particular behavior. They appear below, activating the so-called Random Wild Feature. As the name implies, the function is completely random. The lantern goes up one position with each spin, thus applying its Wild prerogative to each position. So it can help complete winning combinations. During the same spin more than one Wild can appear even on the same reel, which slowly move upwards and then disappear. The Random Wild Feature can also be activated during Free Spins, with one peculiarity.

First, let's see how to activate the Free Spins: they start when 3, 4 or 5 Scatters land on the reels, giving away 12,18 and 25 free spins. During the function, in addition to the possibility of activating the Random Wild Feature, if the Wild symbol of the lantern overlaps the symbol that pays more than all the others, i.e. the ideogram, a new function is activated which is the Wild Expanding Feature. The Wild symbol superimposed on the ideogram transforms all contiguous symbols into Wild. This increases your chances of winning even more. The Free Spins feature can also be retriggered by landing the same number of Scatters up to a maximum of 100 free spins.
