Lucky 88

Lucky 88 is an Aristocrat slot machine that made history, first as a physical machine and later as an online slot. The latter is the version that we propose on this page, to play and have fun as gamblers have done for a long time in the gambling halls, but from the comfort of your home. Lucky 88 is proof of how a classic bar slot can survive its online migration very well, as it continues to top the popularity charts. Its graphics and above all its features are timeless and fascinate and conquer like the first day.

This is a traditional oriental themed slot machine, with lucky symbols typical of Chinese culture and abundant use of red and gold colors. But it will be above all its gameplay to leave you speechless, since it has extremely original elements, although this game dates back to a few years ago. So let's dive into the varied world of Lucky 88, where the reels and dice will compete for you to get the biggest winnings.

Lucky 88 Overview

We have already anticipated what is the setting of Lucky 88, or the Far East. This can be deduced from the red background, characterized by a pattern that reproduces ideograms. At the top, above the reels, there are indications that remind you which are the main features of the game. The game plan consists of 5 reels, 3 lines and 25 pay lines which are drawn from left to right. This Aristocrat slot features buttons to play on the right side of the screen. It does this in a very basic way, making it extremely easy to play even from mobile devices. In fact, Lucky 88 not only works from desktop computers, but also from smartphones or tablets.

There are essentially only two buttons you need to use: the play and the bet. They are close: the first is for starting spins, the second for betting. The amounts you can bet range from a minimum of 0.01 to a maximum of 0.25. That's all: in Lucky 88 there is not even the possibility to activate the autoplay. On the other hand, however, you find another button above the play, which is used to activate the Extra Choice. Extra Choice is what other slots call Ante Bet: it increases your stake by offering you other additional features which we will discuss shortly. In the meantime, let's find out what are the symbols of the Lucky 88 paytable.

Lucky 88 Symbols: Chinese dragons and lamps

The symbols of Lucky 88 pay a win if they are repeated on one of the 25 paylines 3, 4 or 5 times. However, there are symbols that pay even if repeated only 2 times: for example the number 9, which is the icon that pays less than all the others. Of higher value are 10, J, Q, K and A. Going up, there are the drum and the pagoda, which pay the same way; above still the golden idol and then the dragon and the heron. These are the two standard symbols that pay more than the others, even if only repeated twice.

Lucky 88 also has two special symbols, namely the Wild and the Scatter. Both are paying symbols, meaning they return a win if repeated 2, 3, 4 or 5 times. In addition, they also have additional qualities. The Wild is the symbol that can substitute for all others and helps complete winning combinations. The Scatter instead serves to start the Free Spins, according to the methods that we are going to illustrate.

Free Spins and dice rolls, Lucky 88 Features

The way in which you can perform the Free Spins function changes depending on whether you have decided to activate the Extra Choice option or not. Let's first explain what happens when you keep it off. When 3 or more Scatter symbols appear on the reels, i.e. the lamps, in any position, the free spins function starts. This feature could also activate randomly at the end of each spin. But before the function starts, you have to make a choice. Several scrolls will appear with different game options:

• 20 free spins, each time the Wild ensures a win, it is multiplied 5x or 18x,
• 10 free spins, every time the Wild ensures a win, it is multiplied 8x or 38x,
• 3 free spins, each time the Wild ensures a win, it is multiplied 18x or 88x,
• At this point the free spins start, and the feature can also be restarted.

If you have activated the Extra Choice, when 3 or more Scatter symbols appear the choices become 5:

• 25 free spins, every time the Wild ensures a win, it is multiplied 5x or 18x,
• 15 free spins, every time the Wild ensures a win, it is multiplied 8x or 38x,
• 8 free spins, each time the Wild ensures a win, it is multiplied 18x or 88x,
• 4 free spins, each time the Wild ensures a win, it is multiplied 88x.

The fifth possibility is to choose the game of dice. In the game of craps you get prizes depending on how many times the number 8 appears. Also in this case, the Free Spins could also be activated randomly at the end of any spin of the reels.

Conclusion

Lucky 88 is a free slot on the one hand very simple and essential, on the other very exciting due to the possibility of becoming architects of your own luck by selecting the Extra Choice option or not.
