Lucky 3 Penguins Slot Machine
Everybody loves penguins and in this Casino Technology video slot game, you will probably learn to love them even more!
Lucky 3 Penguins is a take on the somewhat classic Arctic theme, with its icy surrounding and many endearing inhabitants. This game is apparently no exception to the usual elements of the genre, which generally settles around an animal theme, with some specific elements of gameplay that deserve a more thorough explanation.
Read on to find out more about those Lucky 3 Penguins and how they can help you become rich…
Take a Trip to the Pole
As expected, Lucky 3 Penguins takes place on an ice-covered ocean far away towards the polar latitudes of our planet.
The background features a vast expanse of still, ice cold water under a starry night sky. The occasional aurora lights up the heavens in a vast array of colours. The infamous penguins are floating on a block of ice, side by side.
The reels appear frozen as well, with each symbol neatly contained in a little ice cube. The symbol design is rather simple and cartoonish and, quite frankly, a little creepy at times. Some polar creatures end up being not as endearing as one would expect, perhaps. There is not much to say about the music either, which would not be unusual if played in an elevator. Overall, the atmosphere of the game is classic, nothing exceptional and a few elements are a bit of a let down. It certainly doesn't offer the very best experience in the genre, players of cute slots like Polar Riches would be a little disapointed for sure.
How to Play
Once you have determined your preferred coin value thanks to the red button at the bottom of the screen, you are ready to modify the settings of your wager itself.
There are five reels and 20 potential paylines to bet on in Lucky 3 Penguins, which is a classic setup. All the commands that you will need are located right below the reels. Click on the appropriate switches to activate as many paylines as you would like, and to bet between one and 25 coins on them. Hit the blue Start button once you are satisfied with your settings, and wait until the reels come to a stop in order to collect your wins. Winning combinations occur on an activated payline and pay from left to right, triggering a corresponding cash reward depending on the amount of your wager. If you feel lucky, you can use the optional Gamble feature in order to try and increase your earnings. Guess the colour of a hidden card to double your latest win, and guess its suit to quadruple it! Repeat as much as you would like, while keeping in mind that a single mistake will end the mini game and take away your coins.
Alternatively, use the Autoplay option to let the reels spins several times in a row (you can choose how many autospins you wish to bet on). Your wager will remain the same throughout, an ideal option if you like playing uninterrupted.
Seafood on the Menu
The paytable of Lucky 3 Penguins offers very little surprises for the players and remains classic and rather predictable.
We start as often with the Jack, Queen, King and Ace. They come in colourful, rounded fonts with a little snow on top. They constitute the least valuable symbols of the game.
Moving upwards on the paytable, we find an array of marine creatures such as a Crawfish, a Squid, a Fish and a Crab. The last one of them is a Seal, arguably the friendliest looking of all, worth 1,000 times your bet for a five-of-a-kind winning combination. Now we are (finally) talking!
Wild Penguins at the Ready
There are three more symbols in Lucky 3 Penguins, and the whole game is named after them.
Unsurprisingly, three different sorts of Penguins await the players at the very top of the paytable. However, they do not have any value on their own but are all Wild symbols instead, able to replace any of the previous symbols to form winning combinations.
We have a Blue, a Yellow and a Purple Penguin, appearing respectively on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th reels. They can randomly transformed into stacked Wilds, covering their whole dedicated reel to trigger even more rewards. Moreover, finding both a Blue and a Yellow Penguin at the same time initiates a Bonus of 15 Free Spins for you to bet on.
A Classic Theme with Few Innovations
Lucky 3 Penguins uses a classic slot game theme and brings little more to the table, besides perhaps an abundance of Wild symbols and the generous Free Spins rounds. The graphics and general atmosphere are nothing to shout about, however, which is a shame given the “cute” potential of Arctic creatures.
