Feeling lucky? Prepare yourself to go on a lucky streak with another classic styled slot machine from Big Time Gaming. With flashing lights, arcade sounds and a pixelated logo - the old school style of the Lucky Streak slot machine will be like marmite for most of you – either loving it or hating it.
It boasts a rather dark design that harks back to the good old days of playing fruit machines in the corner of the pub, but land the maximum win of 10,000x and your day will certainly brighten up!
With gears clashing together as the reels are spin, coins clattering together after you land a winning combination, plus the sounds of a very busy pub with chit chat in the background to truly get you in the mood.
Played across 5 reels with 20 fixed paylines, Lucky Streak can be played for as little as 20p up to a maximum of £200 each and every spin – but just ensure you’re aware of bankroll management before upping the ante!
Rather disappointingly, but not surprising for those of you who have played Big Time Gaming slots before, the symbols on the reels are not related to luck. Instead they are traditional symbols with thirteen in total and they all fall in place rapidly to ensure rapid gameplay.
The standout symbol is the horseshoe Wild which can substitute for all others apart from the Scatter and five on one payline pays out the top prize of 10,000x while even four on a payline rewards you with a 1,000x win which is incredible value.
It’s the pixelated Lucky Streak logo which is the Scatter symbol and this is accompanied by three bar symbols (one with three, one with two, and a single one), watermelons, grapes, lemons, plumbs, oranges, cherries, and bells which all have very similar payouts rather than being top-heavy.
Free spins modes are a stalwart feature in Big Time Gaming slots, and Lucky Streak is no different. In order to access it you’ll need to acquire three or more Scatter symbols (the Lucky Streak logo) in any positions on the reels.
To determine the amount of free spins you’ll receive you then need to hit the stop button as it flashes between the various options, but the most generous aspect of the free spins feature is that all wins are multiplied by 3x plus a horseshoe Wild is added to the reels and boosts the multiplier by one each time it contributes to a win – not to mention the fact the feature can be retriggered for additional free spins!
Lucky Streak also boasts a trail feature which is accessed by accumulating symbols with small numbers on them. This accumulation continues until you reach a multiplier value to the right of the reels which is then applied to that spin. It also provides you with the opportunity to win a multiplier on the left of the reels as the aim is to continue advancing to the pinnacle of 10,000x for the largest possible win.
The Lucky Streak slot has the same structure as the Haunted House slot machine and Golden Goals slot machine that have both been developed by Big Time Gaming too which is rather disappointing.
It’s clear that Big Time Gaming kept the traditional symbols of bars, fruit and bells to appeal to fans of fruit machines (which are incredibly popular at online casinos for UK players), however to more experienced slots players it simply appears to be a rehash of the same structure with a different background and logo design used.
Saying that, the free spins mode is generous, and you simply can’t shy away from the potential 10,000x win on offer - but in an age of modern slot machines with animated scenes and complex bonus features it’s hard to recommend Lucky Streak.
