The design here is a bit of a mixed bag. The reels feature pastel-shaded A to 9 royal values alongside a pyramid featuring an all-seeing eye, a face mask, a lion and a bull. The best paying symbol is the purple diamond. Land 3, 4 or 5 of these in combination and you’ll receive a payout equal to 10, 20 or 100 times your total stake.
Appearing on the middle 3 reels only is the silver star which is the wild. This substitutes for everything apart from the horse shoe.
Land 6 or more of the horse shoe on the same spin and you’ll trigger the Free Games feature. You’ll notice that the horseshoes come with a cash value attached. This amount is paid and you’ll then go on to play 5 free spins. The amount from the horseshoes from the triggering spin becomes the repeating win amount during the feature. Each star that lands during the feature awards the repeating win amount. This comes on top of any standard payline wins. You’ll also see 1 extra free spin added to your total every time a star lands.
Lucky U is a rather strange slot game. The simple visuals are decent enough but the theme seems all over the place. The gameplay here is very straightforward too. The key to success is triggering the Free Games feature with a healthy value from the horseshoe scatters then hitting multiple repeating wins. As far as volatility goes, we’re in the medium range.
It’s not something we’ll be rushing back to play again and again but there’s a little curiosity value in Lucky U. If you’re a fan of Playtech titles though, they have many alternatives with Big Shots and Anaconda Wild worth playing.
