Lucky Shot Slots
Lucky Shot is a slot by Microgaming, with a golf theme. So grab your golf clubs and get on that ever-expanding green field! Actual golfing takes time, effort, energy, and money. With Lucky Shot, you can golf and potentially win money instead of losing it! Who knows, you might win so much you find yourself in a private country club, rubbing elbows with the wealthy and famous. This slot is best aimed at fans of golf. This game is formatted with five reels and 20 pay lines. You can play with up to 10 games, with a coin range anywhere from 0.01 to 0.50 credits. This slot comes with a maximum bet of 100.00 credits.
The high-paying symbols on this board are the golf players, while the lower-paying symbols are elements of the basic game of golf, like a golf club, a ball washer, and a bag. Uniquely, this game doesn't feature a wild symbol, but it's not necessary either thanks to the amount of bonus and scatter symbols, plus multipliers and free spins available. The bonus symbols are the golf cart and a gopher, which triggers the bonus game worth up to 300x your bet, plus free spins. The trophy and Lucky Shot logo are the highest paying symbols on the board, and they reward anywhere from 2,000 to 15,000 coins. The first scatter symbol is the golf cart. Plays can even win up to 50x the total bet.
Bonus Features
The two scatter symbols each activate two different bonus features. The first one is triggered when you score 3 to 5 cart symbols and will pay out 9 to 18 free spins. Each free spin round will automatically apply a 2x multiplier for the payouts. If you get three scatters during the free spins rounds again, you'll receive 10x your total bet! If you are lucky and trigger four scatters, you'll earn 50x your total bet, whereas five scatters reward 200x your total bet. The second bonus feature to play is the gopher bonus game, which is activated with three of these gophers sticking their heads out on any position on the adjacent reels. Players will be awarded, then another screen overlaps the initial base game. This bonus game starts with 15 gophers, taunting the users with 15 targets. You'll need to pick a certain number of targets, and that's dependent on how many scatters triggered this feature. Depending on what targets you hit, you'll be awarded a variety of cash prizes.
Graphics and How To Play
There is a retro, almost nostalgic quality about these slots. Plus, the cartoonish graphics have an endearing quality and a late 90s technology feel. It's set up in the way most slots are - all of the navigation buttons are located at the bottom of the screen. Playing is simple - spin the reels to try and trigger matches. You can adjust both how many lines you decide to play, and how many coins you decide to play with. You can manually spin and even use the shortcut button to bet max.
Summary
I think despite the golf-focused theme - some users who don't actively play golf might enjoy this slot, especially those attracted to general sports-based slot games with cartoonish graphics. While there is a lack of wilds, the bonus game makes up for this absence. So do yourself a favor and try to hit a hole in one- just keep an eye out for stray gophers on the golf field, because they're one of the best features in this entire game. I enjoyed the playfulness of the slot.
