Play Lucky & Wild for Free

When we say that this slot machine has a classic theme, we should really say that the game by EGT has a classically inclined theme. That is because, in reality, this slot does play lose with the visual conventions of true arcade traditions, certainly enough to make slot machine purists consider it as a video slot rather than a pure vintage game.

However, that isn't to say that Lucky & Wild isn't a pleasure to behold, because the 5 reels are nicely designed with 3D graphics and stocked with a greengrocer's worth of ripe and juicy fruits, such as cherries, oranges, watermelons and grapes. Other traditionally retro icons in the game include a golden bell, a big red lucky number 7 and a star.

However, the game also brings in a few new symbols into the classic spin-o-sphere, such as a four leaf clover and a golden horseshoe – both of which will hopefully bring some luck to your spins!

With 20 paylines permanently placed over the 5 reels, spinners of this game shouldn't need too much luck in order to be on the winning end of a successful spin. In fact, all players need to do is line up at least three or more matching symbols from the paytable below and they will receive a line bet multiplier prize. The available line bets work out as 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 credits.

As you can see, the golden horseshoe symbol in Lucky & Wild acts as a wild symbol, meaning that it will substitute for all of the other icons in the paytable to complete winning lines. That is very lucky indeed!

There are two icons which will not be affected by this horseshoe wild, however, and they are the star and four leaf clover. First of all, the star symbol is a standard scatter icon that will appear all over the reels to award total bet prizes worth 5x, 20x and 200x (this makes for the game's biggest single win jackpot of 80,000 credits if a total bet of 400 credits is placed). The clover icon, on the other hand, is a little bit more interesting. That is because this symbol – which only appears on reels 2 and 4 – will stretch to cover all of the neighbouring positions when it appears. Those blocks of clover symbols will then act as wild symbols, potentially offering some absolutely mammoth sized wins.

If you are familiar with EGT software slot machines, then you will be well aware of the various side games that come with every title in their collection – namely a Gamble game and a Jackpot Cards game. The first of these side games can be initiated by the spinner whenever they find a win which is less than 35x the value of the total bet, offering them a chance to double the win by correctly guessing the colour of a turned over playing card.

As for the Jackpot Cards game, players will have to hope that their luck is in, because the feature is only awarded at random. However, the bonus round is worth waiting for since it offers a chance to win one of four progressive jackpots. All players need to do is match up three card suits to win the corresponding jackpot prize.

If you're a fan of retro slot machines and you fancy trying something with a bit of a modern twist, then you won't go too wrong with Lucky & Wild by EGT software. The 5-reel game is designed to a high modern standard, offering some 3D graphics and fiery animations to captivate the spinner. What's more, the slot machine is optimised for mobile play, making it an ideal option if you want a quick spin on the move.
