Squid Game: Red Light, Green Light – £500 Jackpot Arcade Slot Review
The brutal tension of Netflix’s Squid Game meets the flashing lights of a UK arcade in Squid Game: Red Light, Green Light from Light & Wonder. It’s a licensed £500 jackpot slot that takes the darkly playful themes of the hit series and turns them into a surprisingly slick and entertaining B3 game, packed with features, gamble options, and familiar cash-pot excitement.
Base Game and Symbols
The base game runs with 10 winlines and pays for any adjacent wins left to right, giving a bit more flexibility than traditional line-locked formats.
The symbols feature recognisable Squid Game characters, each with decent payouts — the top symbol pays up to £100 for five of a kind, with several tiers below ranging through £30, £24, £20, and £10 wins for other characters.
The Wild symbol substitutes for everything except the coloured glass pig symbols and the scatter icons. All prizes and jackpots are capped at £500, as expected for UK Category B3 machines.
RTP and Premium Play
At standard play, the return percentage ranges from 88% at 25p up to 92% at £2, while activating Premium Play at £2 boosts that to 94%. Premium Play also enhances the feature potential, linking in with the game’s main bonus mechanics for a sometimes faster route to the bigger wins.

Squid Game Main Features & Bonuses
There’s a lot going on here — multiple coloured Glass Pig symbols act as keys to different mini-games and bonuses:
-
Red Light Bonus – Triggered randomly during any spin. The famous doll from the series appears, and the reels light up as the Red Light/Green Light sequence plays out. Cash values will stop on the reels, and be awarded at the end of the spin. Six or more glass pig cash values will automatically trigger the Red Light bonus for a guaranteed win.
-
Mystery Cash Bonus – Green glass pigs add mystery cash values that can trigger and award random prizes during spins.
-
Cash Pot Bonus – Purple glass pigs spin a prize wheel to determine which of the game’s five cash pots (Mini, Minor, Maxi, Major, or Grand) is awarded. The Grand Pot is the top £500 jackpot.
-
Squid Game Bonus – Blue pigs trigger the main event. This plays out on individual reels, with symbols locking in for re-spins, similar to a hold-and-win feature. Each locked symbol reveals either a cash value or a pot award. Fill all positions with pigs, and you’ll claim the Grand Cash Pot (£500).
- Dalgona Candy Bonus – Playing at premium play will activate the possibility of a side bonus of multipliers up to x5, or free spins. The Dalgona Candy Bonus is triggered with reel wins or Red Light Bonus wins of £5 or more. Once triggered, a grid of 12 biscuits appears, each hiding a value. There are three x1, three x2, one x3, one x4 and one x5, plus three free spins positions. So, visually you have a one in four chance of triggering the free spins bonus.
These mechanics combine to create an intense, edge-of-seat experience — every colour carries weight, and you never quite know which bonus might land next.
Free Spins Bonus
Landing three or more scattered Squid Game symbols awards Free Spins, where the Red Light/Green Light mechanic returns in a more volatile setup.
Locked symbols, re-spins, and the potential to fill the screen with glass pig symbols make this bonus one of the more rewarding features. The bonus can also be retriggered, giving you multiple shots at the Grand Cash Pot.
Bonus Super Gamble™
After any win or feature, you can enter the Bonus Super Gamble (a regular slot machine gamble that has been renamed)— The gamble features the familiar Light & Wonder five dials, each with varying odds. You can gamble for free spins or cash, or you can collect your prize. You can also choose to bank part of your win to play it safe.
Gameplay Feel and Design
Light & Wonder have nailed the look and feel of Squid Game — neon pinks, geometric symbols, and chilling sound effects straight from the show. The famous Red Light, Green Light doll appears frequently, adding tension even between spins. Despite the serious theme, it feels polished and accessible, designed for arcade play rather than online realism.
The pacing is tight, animations smooth, and the constant mix of features keeps things moving quickly. It’s one of the more modern-feeling £500 jackpot slots on the market, clearly designed for both casual players and those chasing the thrill of chained features and high volatility slot play.
Verdict – Tense, Slick, and Rewarding
Squid Game: Red Light, Green Light captures the spirit of the series perfectly — tense, unpredictable, and packed with risk/reward moments. With layered features, five cash pots, and a strong gamble ladder, it’s got plenty of depth while still feeling fun to play in short sessions. It’s a very well produced slot from Light & Wonder.
If you enjoy high-energy B3 slots that blend branded visuals with smart mechanics, this one’s a standout. Check out my YouTube videos to see some of the slot in action.
