Aristocrat Interactive launches Lightning Link to online players across the US and Canada

High-stakes title now available on the region’s leading iGaming platforms

Lightning is striking online regulated gaming across North America with the game-changing arrival of one of the world’s most popular slot brands, Lightning Link by Aristocrat, to online casino platforms everywhere.

More than a game launch, this is the arrival of one of the most powerful slot brands in history into the online Real Money Gaming (RMG) space, reimagined and refined for entertaining online gameplay. 

In a milestone moment, Aristocrat Interactive, the online RMG division of Aristocrat, is bringing the Lightning Link franchise gaming experience to players in all regulated iGaming U.S. states and Canadian provinces for the first time.

This network launch ensures players can now enjoy the fun and excitement of Lightning Link High Stakes on all major online casino sites, and this is just the beginning, with more titles from the iconic Lightning Link franchise slated to go live in the coming months.

“The launch of Lightning Link brings one of the most successful land-based slot game families in history to online players across the US and Canada. This is a full-scale network rollout supported by the industry’s largest operators, featuring a roadmap of subsequent legendary titles,” Aristocrat Interactive CEO Dylan Slaney said.

Lightning Link is a global phenomenon that revolutionized slot play when it premiered more than a decade ago and has been a leading land-based game family ever since.

This launch underscores the company’s commitment to delivering world-class online gaming by bringing the best performing content from the casino floor to regulated iGaming markets.

“Lightning Link is synonymous with gaming around the world. By translating this tried-and-true land-based game family for the online RMG space, we deliver a product with proven performance data. This is the definition of omni-channel excellence: taking this global sensation and optimizing it for the digital frontier,” Slaney continued.

Renowned for its intuitive gameplay and the legendary Hold & Spin feature, Lightning Link remains one of the most recognised brands by slots players and casino operators alike.

Lightning Link High Stakes entertains players with a vibrant, Las Vegas-style lounge that features classic Vegas-style imagery, including roulette wheels, poker chips, and luxury cars.

Using the iconic Hold & Spin mechanic as a base for play, other key features include multi-denomination play, Cash-on-Reels, and the “Big Reel” feature during Free Games, where center reels merge into one giant symbol. Shared progressive jackpots including a Grand Jackpot add to the fun.
