Lucky Last, a title from RTG, is a slot machine with a focus on all things lucky. The design influence is clearly Irish, with not only characters from their stories being present, but also with the color green being used whenever possible. Add to that the rainbow you see sticking out from behind the reels, and you get the idea. Pretty much all the symbols offered here are from stories with Leprechauns or they are simply considered lucky.
There are plenty of features and special symbols in this game as well, so you will find wilds and scatters inside, along with the typical free spins and multipliers that so many games are offering. There are 25 lines used here, with the number of reels being the standard 5. As far as payouts are concerned, there are the two progressive jackpots, one Minor and the other Major, plus a prize offered by the game itself that will go as high as $50,000.
Features of Lucky Last
You will find the usual set of features here, only in this case the ones getting you the free spins are the two wild coins. Overall, when you add the multipliers and the prizes offered through the scatter, RTG did alright by its players with this title.
First, let’s cover the Shamrock symbol, with scatter abilities and prizes worthy of being mentioned. Get five of these Shamrock symbols in any position during the same round, and the prize will be the equivalent of 200 total wagers (using the amount you’ve spent during that spin as a basis). Even two scatter symbols will be enough to get you a small prize, so unless you get only one of these it’s always great to see them.
The Coin symbol comes in two forms and both of them are wilds with substitution powers. One side of the coin has on it the Leprechaun and is marked Lucky, while the other side has the Shamrock and is marked Last. You can get the Lucky side on the 1st reel and the Last side on the 5th. Those are the only two reels on which the wild can be present. Whenever a wild helps you form a new combo, the prize of that round will double up with the help of a 2x multiplier.
Free Games Feature
Whenever you get the two wilds on the screen at the same time, one of them on the 1st while the other is on the 5th, you are going to be rewarded with 7 free spins. 6 of those spins will have a 3x multiplier, while the 7th spin will have a smaller one at 2x. The 7th spin also gives you a 50% chance of re-triggering the feature, for another 7 spins. This can happen up to 5 times.
Betting options and jackpots
You will find the 25 paylines of the game to be more than enough to gamble on. In each case, you will be allowed the use of a single coin, whose value can be in the $0.01 to $5 region. The result is a betting range that goes from $0.25 to $125, if you choose to use all the available coins.
When it comes to the payouts it has to offer, the game does pretty well, with 10,000 coins turning into cash payouts of up to $50,000. You do get a couple of progressive jackpots as well, but they’re not the kind to make you rich for life (mostly the kind to make you really happy for a week or a month).
Design and symbols
The Irish theme that was used is extremely well done, with small decorations and improvements made in every area. Even the reels have faded drawings that serve as background for each symbol. One thing I’ve appreciated was the absence of playing card symbols, always a plus in my book.
Symbols: Gold Coins (wilds), Shamrock (scatter, 200x the bet), Leprechaun (5,000x), Pot of Gold (2,500x), Rainbow (500x), Gold 7 (500x), Silver 7 (150x), Green 7 (150x), Shoes (100x), Toadstool (100x), Horseshoe (100x), Pipe (100x).
Is It Worth Playing?
If you feel like you can use all the luck you can get, this game is for you. It’s Irish themed, it has lots of gold in it and those four leaf shamrocks should be quite helpful in that regard. It doesn’t hurt that its prizes are above the average amount that RTG usually gives out.
You will find Lucky Last at any online casino which chooses to use software from RTG, playable either for free or for real money.
