Lucky Angler Slot review
Lucky Angler is a fishing themed game, designed by NetEnt and sporting modern graphics.
Lucky Angler is all about fishing in the winter. Ice fishing is a popular way of spending free time during the winter, though obviously you do a much better job during the summer, when the fish bite more. You see a couple of fish on the reels, and then there are things like crabs and old boots, to mention just a couple of symbols. You will get 15 paylines to play on, and the big prize would go up to $10,000 at most.
The game’s theme is related to ice fishing, so about half of the symbols are actually playing cards made out of ice. The rest are images with various fish and other lake creatures. The design style is closer to a cartoon than to the real thing, but it’s OK enough for the purposes of this game.
The slot’s 15 paylines require that you always have them active. Since the slot also has a system called “Win Both Ways” which doubles the wager, you can’t spend less than 30 coins each round. You can increase the level of the wager if you wish to, taking it as high as 300 coins. With the coin denominations ranging from $0.01 to $0.50, you can wager between $0.30 and $150 per spin.
One of the things to be thankful about in this game is the system which you pay extra for, and which forms combinations going from both the right and the left sides of the screen. It’s not worth twice as much money though, since for combinations of five symbols you don’t need the icons to appear from one side, they occupy it fully anyway.
The Lure is a symbol with the abilities of a wild. It’s actually a sticky wild, which can replace almost any other regular symbol, but not a scatter. The 2nd and the 4th reels are going to be the ones that can get these wilds.
The symbol with the school of fish is a scatter, whose only role is to bring you free spins. It has to be in a minimum of three locations, and when this happens you win 10, 15 or 20 free spins.
It’s a game for the fishing fan, for the angler that’s looking for a game to play when he can’t go out and do the real thing.
