Pastel colours dominate the reels in Lucky Tree - the 5-reel machine is overlooked by a giant money tree and the symbols on the reels maintain the traditional Asian feel. Joining the lower value playing cards are lotus flower, bamboo, fish, tortoise and frog.
The dragon is the most rewarding symbols, awarding 20,000 coins if you land 5 on a payline. The gold coin is the main wild but the Yin Yang and Fortune Cat also become wild too thanks to some magic from the lucky tree. As for features, there are 3 of them with descriptions provided below:
Wild Coin Mystery feature - this is triggered at random and can hit on any base game spin. The tree shakes and drops between 2 and 7 coins onto the reels, turning the symbols they land on into wilds. If it lands on a bonus triggering Yin and Yang or Fortune Cat, they will be both wild and scatters. The Wild Coin Mystery feature hits after every free spin, dropping between 3 and 7 wilds onto the reels.
Free Games Bonus feature - land 3 Yin and Yang or Yin and Yang wild symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 and you'll be awarded 10 free spins. The free spins are played on a new set of reels but the Wild Coin Mystery feature is active and you can re-trigger more free spins.
Pick Bonus feature – 3 fortune cat or fortune cat wild symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 trigger the third feature, a pick bonus. First choose 1 of the 3 spheres to reveal the number of picks. This will be 6-12, 14 or 15. You'll then be shown a grid of symbols, behind which lie a selection of fortune cats. Any matching picks will result in a cash payout - find 8 of the white cat and you'll pocket a cool 5,000 coins.
There's plenty of variety on offer in Lucky Tree - the Wild Coin Mystery feature can help things in the base game but it really comes into its own during the free spins feature when it hits following every spin. Even the pick me round is a little more innovative than what's on offer in most slot games.
As far as design goes, it's a typical Bally affair and has the look of a brick and mortar title - that's no surprise as Lucky Tree is a live casino conversion. It all comes together pretty well though. The money tree story may just be a legend. If fortune is smiling though then this Lucky Tree offers plenty of opportunities to cultivate a healthy amount of coins. I also recommend other Bally titles with Cirque Du Soleil Kooza highly recommended.
