Like Lucky Larry's first outing, the sequel has a light-hearted feel and comes with cartoon-style graphics. Look out for buoys, lighthouses, boats and beach houses on the reels as well as a playing card symbols.
Triggered when finding 3 or more Bonus symbols, Lobstermania comes with 2 different features. Choose from Lucky Larry's Buoy Bonus 2 or Lucky Larry's Free Spins.
Opt for the Free Spins and you'll be awarded at least 5 free spins, complete with stacked wilds which will give your winning opportunities a real boost. Bonus symbols are important as 3 will give you an extra 5 free spins with up to 240 in total to reel in.
Lucky Larry's Buoy Bonus 2 is a two stage, pick me bonus game. First pick a buoy from Larry's boat and you'll be awarded a cash bonus. You'll then have the opportunity to go to Brazil, Australia or Maine.
Head to Australia and you get to pick from a group of kangaroos. Find the kangaroo holding the golden lobster Down Under and you'll win the Kangaroo Bonus which awards a cash prize of between 200 and 800 times your coin value.
Head under the waves for Brazil's Octopus Bonus. Find the treasure chest containing the golden lobster buoy and you'll win a prize of between 200 and 1,000 times your coin value.
Head to Maine and it's the Pelican Bonus. Find the buoy with the golden lobster and the prize is anywhere between 160 and 625 times your coin value. You'll have 3 picks in all - you can choose to accept or refuse your first 2 picks. You have to accept the third though. If you're lucky enough to pick the golden lobster with the first or second picks, the round will end automatically with a tidy little payout.
It's not just the bonus rounds that offer opportunities to win big. On each spin, the Jackpot symbol may appear over any symbol apart from the bonus. If the Jackpot appears on 3 or more consecutive reels on any spin, you'll be in line for a jackpot.
3 symbols and the Light Trap Bonus and 2,500 times your line bet will be yours, four and it's the Full Trap for a 10,000x payout. Find five and you'll have found the Mother Lode and with it a bumper payout of 50,000 coins. The jackpot cannot hit during the free spins round though. Look out too for the multiplier symbols which will boost your win by 3x or 5x if they feature in a winning payline.
All in all then, there's plenty to go on in the features department, which is a definite improvement on the original. Lucky Larry's Lobstermania 2 may have a comic feel but the water's here can be a little choppy - this is a medium to high variance slot. There will be plenty of times when all you'll find in the cashier are tiddlers. Big catches of coins are certainly possible when the wins do come though.
We're pleased to see a second outing for Larry and his lobster boat. IGT has kept largely to the same formula as the original, namely amusing visuals and a decent of features. I would also recommend Pharaoh’s Fortune by IGT which is a land based classic but if you like the sea, the volatile Pacific Paradise is well worth playing.
