The theme runs on four-leaf clover symbols, emerald and gold clover art and a light Irish luck motif.
Visual Style
Clover and luck iconography carries the whole design. Gold-rimmed clovers hold the cash values, blue clovers mark the Major Jackpot, and the Mystery canister uses a sealed metal look until it opens.
The empty squares remain visible on every spin, so the board looks more like a collection board than a payline screen. Both the Boost symbol and the Sticky Bonus symbol feature a lightning bolt detail on the clover. This detail makes it easy to distinguish them at a glance from a regular Bonus symbol.
Sticky Bonus & the Re-Spin Collector
The Main Game has no line payouts. Blank cells and five special icons share the reels: Bonus, Sticky Bonus, Jackpot, Mystery and Boost. Land any 3 special symbols on the middle row and the Bonus Game opens.
During the main game, a Sticky bonus symbol may appear at random; it remains locked in place until a bonus game is actually triggered. Its position is saved separately for each bet level, so when you switch from $1 to $5, you’ll get a different set of locked reels.
The round starts with 3 re-spins. Every fresh symbol that lands puts the counter back to 3, which is the whole engine of the collector mechanic.
Play continues until the re-spins run out or all 15 cells carry a symbol. The field fills, the re-spins reset, and the Bonus Game keeps going. At the end, the values of all Bonus symbols are added up and Total Win is paid as one amount.
Mystery Symbols & Multipliers
A Mystery symbol transforms at random into a Bonus, Jackpot or Boost symbol. The Mystery Jackpot symbol works on a separate pool and turns into a Mini, Minor or Major Jackpot symbol.
Both types are revealed one by one at the very end of the Bonus Game or Ultra Bonus Game. Until that reveal you cannot read the true value of your field.
The Multipliers Feature can fire at random during either bonus round. Each trigger drops several multipliers onto random cells of the field.
When two or more multipliers land on the same cell, the cell value grows by their combined amount. Stacking multipliers stay on their cells for the rest of the round and apply to whatever symbol occupies that cell at the final count.
Boost Feature
Boost is the collector of collectors. It works only inside the Bonus Game, where it sweeps the values of every other symbol on the field, other Boost symbols included.
The sweep also picks up Mini, Minor and Major Jackpot symbol values sitting on the board.
Order of operations matters. Multipliers apply to Bonus, Jackpot and Boost values first, and only then does Boost sweep every value left on the board. That order is why a single Boost cell often carries the largest share of Total Win in a strong round.
Bonus Rounds
Two bonus modes run on the same collector engine. Both open from 3 special symbols on the middle row, and both can be bought straight from the bet panel.
Bonus Game
This is the standard round reached through the regular middle-row trigger. It is the one you will see most often during ordinary play at any bet level.
The round closes on one of two conditions: the re-spin counter hits zero, or every one of the 15 cells holds a symbol. A full field also settles the Grand Jackpot condition.
Ultra Bonus Game
Any Bonus symbol that lands on the middle row during the Main Game carries a chance to open the Ultra Bonus Game. It replaces a normal round when it triggers.
Ultra Bonus fills the board with Bonus, Sticky Bonus, Boost, Jackpot, Mystery, and Mystery Jackpot symbols. The number of symbols is enough, or more than enough, to trigger the bonus game immediately.
Two mechanical differences separate it from the base round. More multipliers appear across the round, and a set of guaranteed multipliers is already on the field when it starts.
Buy Bonus Game & Buy Ultra Bonus Game
The Bonus Game costs 35 total bets to buy. The Ultra Bonus Game costs 75 total bets.
One detail is easy to miss. Sticky Bonus symbols already locked on your reels do not carry over into a purchased round. The purchase starts a clean round, so a field you spent spins building is worth keeping in play instead of buying over.
Symbols & Paytable
This is a no-lines collector title, so no symbol pays on a line combination. Every value shown is settled inside the Bonus Game or the Ultra Bonus Game.

RTP, Volatility & Bankroll Notes
RTP is 95.49% and volatility is High. The 10,000x ceiling is rare, and the moment a round reaches it the game stops the round and pays immediately.
A collector slot with no line wins produces long stretches with zero return between bonus triggers. Every dry spin buys a chance at the Bonus Game and nothing else.
Size your stake against that pattern. A smaller bet stretched across many spins suits a High volatility trigger better than a large stake burned through in a handful of rounds.
How to Play Lightning Clovers
Pick a licensed casino that carries Playson
Check the provider list on the site footer or the lobby filter. Only operators with a Playson feed can run this title.
Register or log in
New accounts need an email, a password and date of birth. Finish identity verification early so a later withdrawal is not held up.
Choose a payment method
Cards, e-wallets and bank transfer are the common options. Compare minimum deposits, since some methods start at $10 and others at $20.
Deposit your funds
Fund the account with an amount that supports at least a few hundred spins at your planned stake. Skip any bonus whose wagering terms exclude Playson slots.
Find the game in the lobby
Type Lightning Clovers Hit the Bonus into the lobby search field. Most lobbies show a demo button next to the real money button on the game tile.
Set your bet and spin
Launch the Lightning Clovers game and set a stake between $0.20 and $100. Remember that Sticky Bonus positions are stored per bet level, so changing the stake changes the saved field.
Demo vs Real Money
The demo runs the same math model as the paid version. RTP stays at 95.49% and the trigger probabilities for the Bonus Game and Ultra Bonus Game are unchanged, but nothing pays out.
That makes free play useful for one specific job. Count how often the re-spins reset and how much a Boost sweep actually returns over an extended play session.
Both purchase options work in free play too, so you can test a 35x round and a 75x round at zero cost. Once the pattern is clear, you can play Lightning Clovers casino game for real stakes with a realistic idea of the swings.
About Playson
Playson is a slot studio with certified RNG mechanics and licences across several regulated markets, including Malta and the UK supply chain.
Collector and hold-style games are a core part of the studio catalogue, alongside titles such as Solar Queen and the Buffalo Power series. Lightning Clovers sits in that same design family, with the sticky symbol collector pushed further than in the earlier hold-and-win releases.
FAQ
Any 3 special symbols landing on the middle row of the 3x5 field start the round. Sticky Bonus symbols already locked on the reels count toward that total.
Ultra Bonus fills the field with enough symbols to activate the round instantly. It also adds guaranteed multipliers at the start and drops more of them during play.
Boost collects the value of every other Bonus, Jackpot and Boost symbol on the field, Mini, Minor and Major Jackpot values included. Multipliers apply to those values before Boost takes them.
The re-spin counter goes back to 3. The round only ends when the counter reaches zero with no new symbol, or when all 15 cells are covered.
Yes. The Bonus Game costs 35 total bets and the Ultra Bonus Game costs 75 total bets. Sticky Bonus symbols saved on your reels are not carried into a purchased round.
All 15 cells of the field have to be covered with symbols of any type. At the demo default bet the Grand Jackpot is worth 1000x, against 50x, 20x and 10x for Major, Minor and Mini.
The cap is 10,000x your bet. If a round total reaches that figure, the game ends the round at once and pays the capped amount.
