Lucky 3 Slot Machine
Players are always on the lookout for new slot machines to play at online casinos – software companies are constantly updating their portfolios with fresh content, but how do they stand out from the competition? The Lucky 3 videoslot from iSoftBet aims to offer a unique and exciting experience for those who have a low limit to spend.
Lucky 3 is a fruit machine themed slot that is built as a 5x5 grid of reels, but you won’t hit wins via usual paylines – we will explain more about this later in our review. Spin the reels from as little as 0.05 a spin and increase to a max of 5.00 on any device as Lucky 3 is mobile-optimised for punters who like to game on the go. As you play, you will be able to indulge in multiplier values from 1x to 5x as well as a jackpot of 500 coins.
Fruity Surprise
Describing the slot is a little difficult as it’s nothing like a standard slot machine from online casinos – what you have is a 5x5 grid of fruity symbols sitting to the centre of the screen with the usual control panel housed beneath it. Before setting the reels in motion (we know players can be a bit too eager at times), you will need to set your bet via the coin adjuster – this allows bets from 0.05 to 5.00. Paytable is sitting next to the coin adjuster and this list the possible winning outcomes, how to win the jackpot and the rules on the slot game.
To the left of the reels is the paytable of wins and how you can scoop the jackpot. Multipliers of 1x to 5x are placed to the right of the reels and come into play when you hit a win. The only symbols that you will find by playing this online slot are lemons, watermelons and cherries.
Zesty Wins
So, what exactly can you win by playing? There isn’t a big cash reward on offer, but it is worth 500.00 to those playing 5.00 a stake. To get the non-progressive jackpot cash sum, you are required to spin in a full row of lemons on reel 5 where that 5x multiplier will boost the coin value to 20x your stake (or 500 coins). As there are only 3 symbols present on the reels, it’s simple to see how you can win:
- Watermelons award 1 coin for 3 of a kind, 3 coins for 4 of a kind and 10 coins for 5 of a kind.
- Cherries award 2 coin for 3 of a kind, 5 coins for 4 of a kind and 15 coins for 5 of a kind.
- Lemons award 5 coin for 3 of a kind, 10 coins for 4 of a kind and 25 coins for 5 of a kind.
Favourable Features?
We were shaking our heads when we saw the range of bonus features on offer – this is because there are none, but thanks to the multipliers on offer, these will boost your winnings by as much as 5x the stated value. Playing is simple, select your bet and hope to hit a win on any of the 5 rows from the leftmost reel. Row 1 will multiply any winnings by 1x their value, row 2 will multiply any winnings by 2x, row 3 by 3x, row 4 by 4x and finally row 5 by 5x the shown coin prize.
Summary of Fun
Sadly, high rollers Lucky 3 is not for you as the limit of bets is capped at a very low 5.00 a spin but not only that – the jackpot on offer won’t even raise a smile for punters with big cash to splash. However, not everyone as big cash to spend, so players with a smaller budget will benefit from regular wins in this medium variance slot. When we were playing, we managed to hit 5 of a kind on the 5th row on plenty of occasions (but not the lemons sadly), which makes this a high-payingfruit machine.
Unfortunately, iSoftBet have created a basic slot machine that doesn’t offer much – but this can please many players as there’s nothing on offer to complicate gameplay. Graphics are vivid and pleasant enough – as too are the sounds, but you may get bored after a while of playing.
