How To Play Lucky Links Mobile Slot
A low risk game that promises lots of wins, but can this Lucky Links mobile slot actually deliver?
There’s not much here not to love; re-spins, locked reels, win both ways, 20 paylines… it’s a good combo of features.
The theme, granted, is a little simplistic, relying on your love of lucky symbols and smooth jazz to appreciate every spin.
Yet, we found ourselves struggling to play more than a few spins on this Just for the Win slot, and here’s why.
Stacked symbols and win both way reels
That’s already a recipe we love.
And when you get wins paying from left to right and right to left, the next best thing you can add is more of the same symbols bunched together.
And overall, you get them, but the symbols themselves don’t pay out a lot, even on a 5 of a kind win, so you need to get all 5 reels covered to get the heart truly racing – and that’s the job of the bonus round.
The Lucky Links lock the reels and symbols into place
One symbol will be chosen before each spin, so if they land, they will lock into place with other of the same symbols next to them.
You’ll then get multiple re-spins where every one of those same symbol will keep locking into place until no more show up.
It’s a little like the sticky wins in games like Moby Dick slot and Mayana by Quickspin.
Where’s the excitement of this Lucky Links slot?
And that’s what we were asking ourselves as we were spinning.
Technically, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this Lucky Links slot. You don’t win huge, but then you don’t lose much either, it’s a nice easy going slot for when you need to stretch that budget. And with a minimum bet of 0.10 per spin you can stretch it quite far.
Maybe it’s the fact that the music and lights just didn’t bring the energy we needed to make the linking exciting.
Instead it felt like the main feature was a little bit of an afterthought, rather than the cherry on top of what should have been a great mobile phone slot.
