Lucky Lanterns

Lucky Lanterns is a Halloween slot from Funky Games, released on 2 December 2025. It plays on a compact 3x3 grid with 5 paylines plus a separate prize reel on the right, returns 96%, and offers a top prize of 1,000x the bet. Glowing jack-o’-lantern jackpots, a black cat wild, a friendly ghost and multiplier candies make it a playful spooky game.

A Spooky Night

The game is set under a dark, cloudy night sky with twisted tree branches and fireflies. Five jack-o’-lantern jackpot plaques glow above the grid: Major and Grand on the top row, Mini, Midi and Minor below them. A small “5 Lines” sign sits on top of the reels, and a cheeky blue ghost flies across the screen to deliver prizes.

The symbols on the 3x3 grid are a witch’s hat with a skull, a green spell book, a white skull with glowing eyes, and cookie-shaped spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs. The wild is a black cat sitting in a pumpkin, and orange Jackpot pumpkins also land on the grid. The prize reel on the right holds wrapped candies with multipliers and Respin badges.

The Paytable

Every line win needs three matching symbols. At a stake of 200 the paytable shows:

Black cat wild – 2,000
Witch’s hat – 1,000
Spell book – 600
Skull – 400
Spade, heart, diamond and club – 200

Three cats pay 10x the stake, and even three card suits return the full bet. The rules add that “only the highest win is paid for each symbol line combination”.

The Prize Reel

The fourth column is what makes Lucky Lanterns special. When a line pays on the grid, it continues into the prize reel, and in our screenshots the candy at the end multiplied the win:

Three spades on a diagonal met a x2 candy – “200.00 x2” and a win of 400
Three clubs on a diagonal met a x5 candy – “200.00 x5” and a win of 1,000
Three spell books ended on a x5 candy while the ghost flew across – “600.00 x5” and a win of 3,000

A line of three hearts along the top row reached a x2 candy for 400, and a diagonal line of diamonds that ended on a Respin badge paid the plain 200. Candies of x10 also appeared on the prize reel in our session, and the Reels page of the rules shows an x15 candy as well.

Five Jackpots

At a stake of 200 the plaques read Grand 200K, Major 20K, Minor 10K, Midi 4K and Mini 2K – 1,000x, 100x, 50x, 20x and 10x the stake. The orange Jackpot pumpkins on the grid appear to be the way in: in one of our spins three of them landed together with two Respin badges on the prize reel, and in another the screen celebrated with “Congrats – Mini 2,000.00” over a glowing green pumpkin – 10x the stake.

Respins

The pink Respin badges on the prize reel point to a respin feature, and slot catalogues also list free spins with a multiplier and additional free spins among the features. The rules screen explains exactly when the respins and free spins are awarded.

What The Bet Changes

All the values in our screenshots were recorded at a stake of 200. If they scale with the bet in the usual way, at a stake of 1 three cats pay 10 and three card suits pay 1; the Grand jackpot would be worth 1,000 and the Mini 10. The candy multipliers stay the same at every stake, so a x5 candy always turns a line of card suits into a 5x win.

Controls

The game is designed for a tall mobile screen. The win, balance and stake sit under the reels, and a row of round buttons along the bottom holds the menu, turbo, the minus and plus bet buttons, a large spin button and autoplay.

Who It Is For

Lucky Lanterns is for players who like small, quick grids with a clever twist. The prize reel turns simple three-symbol lines into multiplied wins, with candies of up to x15, the jack-o’-lantern jackpots add five clear targets, and the Halloween design is spooky but cute. With a 1,000x top prize, it is a light and lively game.
