Play Lucky Day at the Races for Free

Lucky Day at the Races is an invitation for players to discover another way to play for money: horse races.

Forget about the stuffy image the sport may have, the developers at Top Game made sure that everyone would feel welcome here. The colourful and fun graphics of the game help create such a unique atmosphere. Meet the many likeable characters on the reels and try to line them up to win big.

The sound atmosphere of Lucky Day at the Races consists mostly of nature sounds and is rather quiet. But rest assured that the game itself knows how to keep players entertained with its open gameplay, which we will take a closer look at in the next section of our complete review.

Betting on the horses of Lucky Day at the Races is an easy and straightforward task, which even total beginners will have no difficulty mastering in a short time.

The game features five reels and 20 paylines to bet on. Use the command buttons at the bottom of the screen to personalise your settings at any time. Choose how many paylines you want to bet one, as well as the size of your bet per line, and hit the red Spin button to let the reels spin loose. Winning combinations of symbols landing on activated paylines trigger a corresponding cash prize, which depends on both the type of symbols and the size of your wager. Bet more to win more, simple as that. The Bet Max switch is always there to let you activate all paylines and go all-in with a single click.

You might also want to try out the Autoplay feature in order to let the reels spin on their own for a moment. Skip the settings and enjoy the action, with the possibility to come back to basic play mode at any time.

The paytable of Lucky Day at the Races is split into two parts, containing in total ten different reel symbols.

Part one of the menu contains low-paying symbols directly inspired by playing cards. 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace, these symbols will appear quite frequently on the reels to give you many occasions to score multiple winning combinations with them.

The real heroes of the game come in the second symbol group. The three different Jockeys and two Horses, one visibly in a better mood than the other, are worth a lot more than the card symbols. If you want real big wins, keep an eye out for them but remember that they are much rarer than their cheaper counterparts.

The three last symbols on the reels of Lucky Day at the Races bring more than just some extra cash rewards to the table.

The Cup is a Wild card, and as such it can replace all the other basic symbols on screen. Use it as a joker to help you complete a few more winning combinations.

The Bonus symbol needs to line up on an activated payline; three or more of them initiate the Play the Ponies Bonus game. Bet on a virtual arcade horse race to become the champion and score some extra cash.

Finally, the Scatter can appear anywhere on the reels to award Free Spins. The more of them show up, the more free games you get to play. You can win up to seven Free Spins thanks to the Scatters.

Lucky Day at the Races bets on originality and humour to reach the players’ hearts – and pockets. And it works quite well. The game is fun and quite addictive, with just enough extra features to keep you entertained.

If you are allergic to cartoonish slot games, you might want to consider a game with a different theme though. But otherwise, Lucky Day at the Races has all the necessary ingredients to become a hit.
