Lucky Zodiac

Themed on the Chinese zodiac and the animals representing the cycle of 12 years, Lucky Zodiac slot was presented by Microgaming in September 2015. The five reel, twenty payline game may not come with cinematic graphics, but the clean layout and simple game play, equipped with several exciting features should prove sufficient to create a rewarding gaming experience. With the top payout standing at 140,000 credits, casino gamers also stand a chance of turning a nice profit.

Lucky Zodiac is one of a handful of contemporary Microgaming slots that houses a conventional payline format rather than the ever so popular 243 winning ways scheme. While most icons will award a payout when three or more are found on an active payline, there are several symbols that pay even for two of sorts. Lucky Zodiac Logo is the main Wild symbol, and it replaces any other game icon with the exception of Firecracker Scatter. Meanwhile, Ram is Wild only during the Free Spin round, but it also substitutes for all non-Scatter symbols. This means that two Wild icons are active during the Free Spin feature.

While you can also use + and – to select the preferred bet value, it is probably better to expand the drop-up Bet menu and then make your choices. This way you can see exactly how many coins and paylines you have selected as well as the current bet size. We really like the Win History option available as part of the Win button, which also allows you to view all wins in both coins and credits. All payouts are displayed in credits rather than in cash, at least when it comes to the Paytable. Lucky Zodiac Wild is the game’s most lucrative icon, paying up between 3,000 and 30,000 credits per single line for five matching symbols. The payout obviously depends on your bet per line at the time.

The game developers could have incorporated the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac into the video slot, but they opted against doing so, meaning that the game reels are instead populated by red lanterns, hand fans, intricate vases and lotus flowers, with those boring high cards included as well. Meanwhile, Game Logo, Firecracker and Ram are the three special symbols.

Landing three or more Firecracker Scatters in any position triggers the Free Spins round. Players are then awarded 12 free games, where all wins are multiplied by up to x7. The feature can be retriggered, while Ram symbol acts as an extra Wild during the bonus round. Gamble option can be utilised after each winning spin to double or quadruple your line wins.
