Lock It Link is a family of slot machines that WMS, now under Light & Wonder, built for casino floors. The demo on this page is Lock It Link Night Life, the online version of the Night Life machine, released in 2017. It is free to play here with play-money credits, with no download and no sign-up.
The theme is a glamorous night out in the city. What sets the game apart is that you choose your own bonus. Three BONUS symbols open a selection screen. You can take six free spins with wild multipliers, or the Lock It feature, where hearts lock in place with prizes and four jackpots are in play.

How Lock It Link Works
Lock It Link Night Life has 5 reels, 3 rows and 50 paylines. A payline is a path across the reels, and matching symbols on it from left to right pay a prize. All 50 lines are always active. Bets run from 0.50 to 45 credits per spin, and you set the amount with the bet control before spinning.
The wild replaces every symbol except BONUS, HEART and GOLD HEART, and any win that includes a wild pays double. The BONUS symbol is the scatter. It lands on reels 2, 3 and 4, and all three in one spin open the feature selection screen. Heart and gold heart symbols matter in the Lock It feature, where they carry prizes.
The RTP, the share of all bets a slot pays back over time, is 96.03%. Volatility, meaning how often and how big a game pays, is medium-high. Four jackpots, named Mini, Minor, Major and Grand, can be won during the Lock It feature. Sources disagree on the overall top win, so no figure is quoted here.
Lock It Link Bonus Features
Feature selection
Land the BONUS symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4 in the same spin. A screen then lets you choose between the Free Spins and the Lock It feature. The choice is yours each time the bonus triggers.
Lock It feature
Heart and gold heart symbols carry prizes, reported at up to 100 times your bet each. Landing more hearts earns more spins in the round. When the round ends, you are paid the total of every heart. The Mini, Minor, Major and Grand jackpots are won here.
Free Spins
You get 6 free spins. Wins get a multiplier that depends on how many wild symbols are on the reels when the win lands. The free spins can be retriggered from inside the round.
Wild symbol
The wild stands in for all regular symbols, but not for BONUS, HEART or GOLD HEART. In the base game, any winning combination that contains a wild is paid at double the normal amount.
