Lucky Angler Slots

Lucky-AnglerLucky Angler is themed around fishing, as you probably guessed already, but not around just any type of fishing. It’s an ice fishing themed slot machine, perfect for those of you that are stuck inside during the winter, without being able to do your favorite thing in the whole world, fishing and enjoying the beauty of nature. The snow covered view at the top is just the intro, the ice of the lake hiding schools of fish that are ready to be caught. You can see them all on the reels.

Fans of fishing will find up to 15 paylines on the 5 reels of Lucky Angler, the prizes they can pick up inside being worth a maximum of $10,000. You can take advantage of the win both ways feature, of sticky wilds, free spins and scatter symbols.

Features of Lucky Angler

The game has a couple of good features, like the win both ways option, the free spins, scatter symbols and the sticky wilds.

Win Both Ways will cost you twice as much when the bets are made, but it will also increase your chances of getting a combo formed. Instead of only forming combinations with symbols that are starting from the leftmost reel and going towards the right, the symbols can start from the rightmost reel as well and going towards the left.

The sticky wild is one of the more special features of Lucky Angler, something that can’t be said about all of them. Showing you a picture with a golden artificial lure, the wild symbol sticks in place when it appears on the 2nd or 4th reels, the only ones where it is allowed, but only if it manages to help you form a new combo. If it doesn’t do that, it doesn’t become sticky. Sticky wilds remain there until no more new wins are formed with their help.

Free Games Feature

The school of fish symbol acts as the only scatter. Whenever you have randomly positioned symbols of this type in the game (though they can be on the same line as well, it doesn’t make a difference), you’re going to be rewarded with free spins. A minimum of three scatters will get you the minimum of 10 free spins, with 5 spins added for each extra scatter present.

While using free spins, the sticky wilds appear more often, now available on the 3rd reel as well, in addition to the 2nd and 4th reels that the base game uses for them.

Betting options and jackpots

The bets in Lucky Angler go from $0.30 to $150, so the line bet is worth between $0.01 and $5. With the Win Both Ways feature always active, the wager is worth twice as much as the line bet would indicate, when you use up to 10 coins of values going up to $0.50. The smallest denomination available is at $0.01.

The $5 line bets that you place here will get you up to 2,000x back, so the upper limit is at $10,000, or 20,000 coins.

Design and symbols

Fans of fishing tend to be people that can recognize beauty when they see it, they do spent quite a bit of time in the middle of nature after all, with plenty of time to enjoy it. You’re going to be happy to hear that Lucky Angler manages to provide you with a very nice design. You see the ice covered surface of the lake in the top area, while most of the screen shows you what goes on underneath. The background picture seen behind the reels is the lake itself, with animations of fish moving around. The reels have various cartoon style underwater creatures, from fish to crabs.
