LootsaLoot

Another classic progressive video slot from Microgaming, LotsaLoot is also available in a three-reel version, but the five-reel game that we are now reviewing has been around since 2004. For a slot machine that was developed such a long time ago, the visuals seem decent enough, although some gamers will have problems with the fixed coin value and the absence of conventional bonus rounds, with Wild being the only special symbol.

Lots a Loot houses a standard gameplay where icons award instant credit wins if three or more are found on pre-determined paylines, but there are also three game symbols that pay out even when two of these appear on an active line. And while it is hardly surprising to see Wild being one of these, the same cannot be said of Jack and Ten icons. LotsaLoot Game Logo acts as Wild, substituting for the remaining nine symbols without exceptions, and it is obviously the only icon that can help improve your line wins. The good news is that Wild will also award payouts when two or more of these occur on any active payline, so you will want to see this particular symbol as often as possible.

Almost all classic Microgaming progressives come with fixed coin values, and said amount stands at $0.10 here. You are allowed to activate anywhere from 1 to 25 paylines, meaning you will be staking between $0.10 and $2.50 per single spin of the reels.

We have to admit we have been far from impressed with base line payouts, since wins for three and four matching icons are pretty disappointing and chances are you will only hit five identical symbols on a payline once in a while. But, if you manage to acquire five Wilds on any line, you will receive 10,000 credits or $1,000

The game developers have used symbols such as pot of gold and four-leaf clover to suggest there are some big wins to be had while playing Lots a Loot, with lucky sevens, bars, Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten completing the list, together with the aforementioned Game Logo. The bonus hunters may be forced to look elsewhere considering that the Microgaming classic is not equipped with bonus games or Free Spins round, but players do have access to a genuine progressive jackpot. If you happen to receive five Wild symbols on the 25th payline, you will land the jackpot that averages at $15,000.
