Lucky Reels Slot

Slot machines don’t get much more classic than this 3-reel vintage slot machine by Playson. Lucky Reels is slick, smooth and simple to the core with its limited range of game symbols and even more limited range of bonus action.

So, depending on which way you look at it, this is either a timeless classic, or a time-wasting bore. However, players who opt for this retro game will surely get some adrenaline pumping with the chance of a 100,000-credit jackpot behind every spin of the reels.

Simple Spins

Online slot machines have it all – extravagant slot themes which take players to every corner of the world and beyond, amazing graphics with entertaining animations, not to mention narrative arcs and bonus gameplay features. Lucky Reels, on the other hand, goes right back to the basics of the slot machine gambling format by presenting a casino style slot machine. No frills, no gimmicks, just straight up spinning action and the chance to win some thrilling prizes.

As such, the aesthetic of the game is designed to emulate the good old land-based slot machines that you might find in a Las Vegas Casino. The reels are a cool chrome colour while tints of green frame the slot machine to add a bit of sophistication. Even the game’s control panel is presented as if it were a real life series of buttons. What’s more, the game uses a funk jazz backing track as well as some faint chatter to place players straight into a virtual casino environment.

Place Your Wagers

Even though you won’t be able to hear the sound of real coins dropping when you make a winning combination, this slot machine is still an exciting game to play with a series of rewarding prizes up for grabs. All wins are rewarded whenever three matching symbols fall into place on any of the active paylines. There are 5 paylines in total to play with and spinners can opt to play with as many or as few as they like.

Essentially, each will award a multiplier value which will apply to the size of the bet on that winning line – the wagers available are 1, 2, 5, 6, 8 and 20. The least lucrative of these line bet multipliers is given whenever three blank reel positions align, offering a simple 1x multiplier to give the stake back. You will get a 4x multiplier whenever three bar symbols of any size align while three red 7s will times the line bet by 10x. A row of single bars will fetch 25x, double bars will get 50x and triple bars will pay 100x.

Double Jackpot

The wins don’t stop there, because there is one special icon involved in Lucky Reels which will multiply the coins on the line by 5,000x. This symbol is the “Double Jackpot” icon, three of which could potentially turn a maximum line bet of 20 credits into a whopping 100,000 jackpot. Kerching!

Plus, this symbol also acts as a wild icon. This means that it will fill in for all other icons in order to complete winning combinations. And when it does that, it will double the normal value of the win to reward even more prizes to the player.

Go for the Gamble

There aren’t any other special or unique bonus elements to this Playson slot machine apart from a generic gamble card game. This side feature can be activated after any winning spin, even during a round of “autoplay” spins if you’re quick enough to click the golden gamble coin that appears in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Once you are on the gamble screen, you will see a series of playing cards along with a few options. All you have to do is guess the qualities of the next face down card an you could boost your winning prize from the qualifying spin. If you correctly guess the card’s colour then you will double the win and have a chance to gamble. Or, if you really want to take a risk, then you could go for a quadruple win by guessing the card’s suit. It’s as easy as that. But do remember that any incorrect guess will result in the loss of accrued wins from the qualifying spin and subsequent successful gambles.

Sophisticated and Slick

Lucky Reels may not be the most impressive slot machine in terms of bonus action or even visual aspects, but it still serves up some timelessly classic spins with some very handsome winning potential. So, if you are in the market for a classic 3-reel game that is sophisticated and slick, this Playson slot might just be the one for you.
