Lucky Stars Microgaming

If I'm not mistaken, this Lucky Stars is the only game from Microgaming that has a zodiac theme, but maybe there are one or two more, I cannot be certain at this point in time. It doesn't matter really, and there aren't many zodiac-themed games around anyway. Being an old game, the graphics in Lucky Stars are not that good, the icons of the four elements are not nicely presented visually, and the orb really needs to be more visually pleasing, rather than just being shown as a round boring ball like that. But okay, so it's an old game, with old graphics, so can't complain much on it.

The Orb is the Wild symbol, 5 of which pays 10,000x the line bet, and doubles all wins with it. Thank god it's not another true blue dumb Wild symbol, although it almost is. It also substitutes for other symbols except for the Scatter symbol. The Zodiac Wheel is the Scatter symbol, 5 of which pays a higher than usual 200x the total bet, which is good, and getting 3 or more of these Scatters trigger the Lucky Star Feature, with 7 free spins awarded initially, followed by a spin on the zodiac wheel for either a Bonus game or more free spins with a multiplier. The other symbols in the game pay from 1500x the line bet down to 100x the line bet for 5 of each kind. Can be considered a good paytable although the other symbols do have slightly lower values.

After getting that initial 7 free spins after triggering the Lucky Star feature, pick one zodiac sign, spin the wheel and see where the wheel stops. If the picked sign is won, a choice of either a Bonus or a Free Spins game is awarded. The number of free spins and multiplier would be shown, so pick which you would prefer. In the Bonus game, pick 5 Constellations to win cash prizes. Pick the Free Spins game and the free spins amount and multiplier shown would be added to the initial 7 free spins.

For me, I have picked one of each game on separate occasions, to see how each one would play and pay. Both games could pay well and both could pay quite poorly too. The lowest win that I've got was 16x my bet amount, the highest was 67x. Not a lot and not too high a win, but the best have still not been achieved yet, that's for sure. The good paytable do provide for much bigger wins that what I had gotten, just haven't been lucky enough so far. But then again, I have very seldom been lucky on any of Microgaming games. Strange but true.

Lucky Stars Slot is another game coming from the Microgaming software. I will try to be positive about this game, because to me it is a very simple slot that can really surprise you with some good wins. I really liked the fact that you can trigger the bonus feature very easy. I got the free spins very easily and you can make a choice to get free spins or to open the bonus round. I did not have the chance to trigger the feature twice, so the first time I chose the free spins, so I had 7 free spins plus 15. In 22 free spins with 3 x win you can do quite a lot.

This is a 5 reel 20 pay lines slot and the game is all about the four elements and the zodiac. If you are into astrology you might quite enjoy this game. Some of the symbols are Wind, Earth, Fire and Water of course and then Zodiac Wheel, and poker cards from 10 through K. The Globe is the wild and it helps in completing a winning combination and all your wins will be doubled if you land a winning combination. You will get the jackpot of 10 000 coins if you land 5 wilds on an active pay line, and this is the main reason I play this game or any game in general. The Wheel is the scatter in this game and 2 or more scatters give payouts while 3 or more open the Lucky Star Bonus. Initially you get 7 free spins and then you have to spin the Zodiac Wheel where you have 12 signs. You have to select a star sign before you spin the wheel. If the wheel stops at the sign you have chosen you can choose between free spins and bonus prize. It is somehow like a bonus in a bonus.

Lucky Stars is my very favourable 20 paylines video slot. I like it based on what it can offer and the fact that it has proven to be very successful from my first few tries, from before to now has always steered me in the right direction when it comes to creating winnings. $0.60 bets are pretty awesome for this slot as well as $0.80 bets.

Another reason why I like this slot a lot is because astrology is to my liking also so this slot alone and myself have something in common. What sums most of my experiences is that of the bonus feature. When I hit 3 scattered zodiac wheels I get a chance win more extra free spins or the bonus round for my chosen star sign along with the 7 Free spins already won from the start of the trigger. So I picked out a star sign, Gemini, and when the wheel lands on it then my decision will follow. It's sweet to make a choice of Free spins or the bonus! Either 15 extra Free spins (7 Free spins + 15 Free spins = 22 Free spins at 3x total) or the bonus game is preferred so I have to decide with one or the other. I'm pretty neutral with both so any of them does the job. One of the best combinations I landed for were 5 Air elements, 5 Fire elements, not much for the Water elements and 4 Zodiac wheels. The 5 Earth Elements are pending which hopefully I will come across soon.

The biggest win I created for a trigger is $123.11 on an $0.80 bet...sometimes it's got to be the extra free spins over the bonus! It's a very good slot to play with!!! I like it for the bonus round....assuming my chosen sign will hit of course ;) .
