Lucky Angler is a 15-payline video slot which operates on the NetEnt software platform. The game features a frozen body of water and its various inhabitants and the Golden Fish Hook is the sticky wild, while the scatter is the Scatter Fish symbol. Players are welcome to test the slot on this page free of charge or pick any of the NetEnt casinos found in the listings to play the game for real money.
To begin finishing in the frozen lake, one should first adjust their wager. The “Level” selector allows players to select the bet level, while “Coin Value” selects the coin size ranging from 0.01 to 0.5. “Spin” starts spinning the reels, “Max Bet” turns them at the highest available wager and “Autoplay” plays the game for a predetermined number of times uninterrupted.
In the base game sticky wilds only appear on reels 2 and 4. During the Free Spin feature, sticky wild cards can emerge on reels 2, 3 and 4. A sticky wild completing a winning combination remains on the reels until there are no new wins with the sticky wild.
3 or more scatters will activate the Free Spin round. 3 scatters trigger 10 Free Spins, 4 scatters lead to 15 Free Spins and 5 scatters will result in 20 Free Spins. Additional Free Spins may be won and they will be automatically added to the current number of Free Spins.
A 2,000-coin jackpot will be awarded to players once 5 Red Fish symbols have emerged on an enabled payline.

Lucky Angler goes around the Fishing theme and fortunately we witness here, too one of the main strengths of this developer – the fantastic graphics. For me this company can provide the best quality in this segment (even better than Microgaming or Playtech) and it always can surprise me with it in a good way. Basically, at Lucky Angler we can’t speak about real background image as the reels dominant almost the entire visible area but the little stripe on top of the screen is really awesome. We can see a snowy land with little wooden cottages and it can create so tempting environment that I almost with I was there. The reels illustrate the underwater world where the superb-drawn fishes, crayfishes, lure baits live their lives or does its job and if I look at the overall picture I must say it’s a very good and honourable product from NetEnt.
This 15-payline slot’s best attribute is the ‘win both ways’ feature when the winning combinations starting from the last reels also result rewards. It’s a fixed feature so unlike other games this isn’t a selectable option to use. The other unique game solution attached to Lure Bait, wild figure. Instead of assigning a multiplying function to it, it got re-spin triggering ability. If a winning combination is occurred by its help it remains on the position while other reels and even the two other figures on its own reel re-spin until the newly shown arrangement doesn’t result a win with it. On the downside, the Wild appears only on the second and fourth reels but neither pays any in itself nor multiplies the wins. The best paying 5 of a kind win is worth 2000 coins which is not bad for this game type and specific Scatters only just activate free spins in the number of 10-20 without own paying capability. The only thing that separate free spins from normal game is the Wild has spread function as it may appear on the third reel, too.
Exactly that’s happened with me at one of my best session when during free spins 3 Wilds landed in middle and they fortunately didn’t move from there until the feature has ended because wins after wins came up and the Big Win label also flashed upon the screen and final I won around €140.
Eventually, it’s a good slot with some interesting and very good, unique features that proved to be very usable and profitable at times and I also appreciate very much the visual effects the game works with. Lucky Angler is a better than average game but lack of high end features. I mean the not having the traditional Wild and Scatter qualities the game still has room for improvement.
