Play Lucky Larry's Lobstermania 3 for Free

As to be expected we get a lot of aquatic imagery here! The game reels themselves are back-dropped by a fishing town styled beach, covered in the flotsam and jetsam you would expect in a working fishing village. The reel frame is barnacle and sea salt encrusted wood with a variety of ship buoys hanging from the sides. Standard reel pay symbols range from Tuna and Starfish to a lighthouse and speed boat, a quick flick at the game pay-table will outline your rewards for each symbol.

What has really improved in the new game is the inbuilt features, stacked wilds still appear but there are new bonus triggers and a new scatter. The scattering lobster pots appear on the reels and grant you extra credits, free spins or features on your next spin such as multipliers, wilds and stacked symbols called King stacks which can combine very nicely for larger wins.

Land 3, 4 or 5 ships wheels on your reel symbols to initiate the big wheel bonus and get 1, 2 or 3 spins on the wheel of fortune style bonus wheel, this can grant you a credit prize, one of the progressives or can trigger the buoy bonus feature, which can also be trigged with the correct bonus symbols in the base game.

The buoy bonus can be played in two modes, classic in the format of the previous games or in a new 7 free games format. In the latter you pick from one of three of the original lobster Larry characters who will grant you a number of buoy bonus picks, up to four picks are available. For each pick you make Larry will hoist in a buoy from the back of his fishing boat, you can win spins, wilds, king stacks credits or multipliers for your 7 free spins!

The buoy bonus round is full of animation series and seems to last forever even though it is only 7 spins to begin with, you also get a lot of optional interaction here and you feel much more immersed in the game outcome than in a traditional free spins round, this is definitely the highlight of the game overall.

The new version is great fun no doubt about it, it has a unique charm to it which is both cheesy and cute at the same time, player interaction is good and with two progressives there is potential for big rewards to occasionally be fished out of the water. I don’t think you will see too many big wins in the base game however, as that did appear to have a very low volatility aspect. Overall we like it and at least it wasn’t deafening me like the Brittany Spears slot next door!
