Lock It Link Night Life Pokie Machine
Anyone who has dreamed of driving around in fast cars, sailing in a luxury yacht or looking like James Bond may have to keep on dreaming, but at least they can get a taste of the lifestyle in WMS Gamings’ Lock It Link Night Life video pokie which has all this and more across the 5 richly-decorated reels. It’s already proved to be a success at land based casinos and now developer WMS are bringing it to the online world at the many sites which carry their software range. Now, online players will get to experience the joys of having wins multiplied in a bonus round and wilds wins that double payouts, while they can even pick up progressive jackpots.
There’s 25 paylines running across the game and to get a standard win, 3 or more identical symbols will need to stop across a line running from left to right. While free Lock It Link Night Life video pokies can be used for practice games, the minimum stake is just 0.50 per spin, so it’s suitable for casual gamblers and high rollers can raise their bets to a maximum of 50.00.
The reels spin against a beautifully rendered night time view of skyscrapers and they are all in different shades of blue, which off-sets the colourful symbols quite nicely and adds to the after-dark atmosphere.
Playing Lock It Link Night Life
Like most WMS pokies, the smaller wins occur when playing card symbols J, Q, K and A stop across a line, but bigger rewards come from the themed picture symbols that start with an expensive-looking bag and towel, goes through the bottles of champagne, the yacht and red sports car, until we get to the sophisticated guy in a tuxedo.
All of these will need to be on at least reels 1, 2 and 3 of a payline to be worth anything, but the top wins come from a gold coin which only needs to appear on reels 1 and 2 to pay out a prize. It’s also a wild symbol, so should players see a line of matching symbols across the reels, but there’s a gap in the sequence and the wild is in the right place to bridge the gap, it will substitute for the missing piece and they still get paid.
Not only that, but the win will be doubled from the amount that a line of symbols on their own would have been, while it’s also able to stretch a win across extra reels if that creates a higher value combination.

Lock It Link Bonus
This wild coin symbol won’t be able to act as the Bonus icon, or the red and gold hearts, which are all part of the main features. If 3 Bonus symbols turn up in any places on reels 2, 3 and 4 at once, an initial multiplier award of 5x the stake is paid out and then players can decide whether to enter a free spins round or the main Lock It Link feature.
The free spins round lasts for 6 extra games, although they can be retriggered, along with another 5x scatter win if the Bonus turns up in 3 places again. During these spins, win multipliers can be awarded when the wild symbol is in view and these range from 3x up to 8x if 5 or more wilds are landed at once.
If the Lock It Link feature is picked all symbols will be hearts or blank spaces for 3 free spins. At the start of this bonus game, there will be 3 linked heart symbols that stay locked in place, and any more hearts that land next to them will join the chain, boosting the coin values shown on each, while also re-setting the number of spins back to 3. This goes on until 3 spins have passed without a heart linking up, but as more of the reel positions get filled with heart symbols, it’s quite possible that all 15 spots will become covered with them. Once either of these events has happened, the total number of credits on each symbol is added up and awarded, after which players are returned to the main game.
The Verdict
While the overall design of this pokie is of a very high quality, it’s the bonus features that can really make someone’s day when they are triggered. The free spins with wild multipliers are an excellent side game in themselves, but it’s the unique Lock It Link feature that’s the main reason players come to spin these reels in the first place.
