The number 8 is considered to be very lucky in China, so much so that number plates containing it have sold for huge sums of money. This isn’t a modern trend though, because the belief stems from Ancient China. This is where Lucky 8 draws its inspiration with 5 reels loaded with Chinese themed graphics and bonus features revolving around the number 8.
Lucky 8 Theme
Lucky 8 certainly is colourful because the reels are surrounded by hundreds of paper lanterns. The reels use a contrasting beige background that makes the detailed logos stand proud. These include Chinese Warriors, vases, jade statues, emperors, The Great Wall of China and Chinese ladies. You will also find Lucky 8 logos, 10, J, Q, K and A symbols on the reels.
Prizes, on the whole, are paid when two or more matching icons appear from left to right. The progressive jackpots are the major exception here because they can be paid after any spin. This means the minor or major progressive jackpot can be awarded at random after any spin.
Betting Options and More Functions
Bets are very easy to maintain and configure. You will need to choose a bet and lines to change the total bet, which is shown at the top of the screen. After this bets can be made using the spin or auto play mode.
The pay table is hidden within the help menu (marked help within). This shows all the winning combinations and the attached prizes. You can also read up on the features and bonuses within this section.
Lucky 8 Features
The Emperor has a grin on his face for a very good reason, for his icon is wild for any symbol except the lucky 8. Any prize gained using 1, 2, or 3 wilds will also be multiplied by 2, 3 or 8 times respectively too.
Lucky 8 logos play as scatters that trigger the free games feature when three or more appear. Each of these free spins will signal a gong that reveals a multiplier of 2, 3, 5 or 8 times. This multiplier is applied to any, and all, prizes gained on that particular spin.
Players using 25 lines could benefit from the all new win-win feature. This triggers on the conclusion of the free games feature if you fail to win at least 8 times the triggering bet. The prize paid during this feature will range from 8 to 88x your bet depending on the amount won during the free spins themselves.
Our Take on Lucky 8
Chinese themed video slots are all the rage at the moment and we think the classic styling on this slot will be popular. There’s two randomly triggered progressive jackpots and the features are good too. In conclusion we’d say this is a good addition to the already strong lineup of games from RTG.

This is a weird one for me because the graphics are better than decent and I've even hit big on this game before but for some reason it just seems too boring and missing something I don't know what it is I can't explain it it's just I can't find myself playing it too long I have to leave it I get so bored

I agree with most everyone else about this game I did not like it very much at all. I found it to be very hard if not nearly impossible to hit free spins or a bonus and I very rarely found myself even lining any symbols up for a win.

Lucky 8 is definitely unique to say the least so don't take my word for it definitely give it a shot because you never know you might just get lucky and it might just be the game for you. Just be ready to lose some money before you win anything because you might have to spend quite a few times before you see any thing line up.

This game is highly entertaining at times but haven't been very lucky on many occasions. Extreme volatility especially on the mid to high level bets. The freespins feature does take a very long time to hit in my experience and can be quite stubborn at times if you hoping for a big payout. Nonetheless I suggest players...

This game can be a lot of fun when you’re lucky enough to hit the bonuses. Decent pays during regular play and the features are fun. I like the music also. Gives off a good vibe while playing

When I opened Lucky 8 slot firstly I thought that this is a great game because I won big from Free Spins feature but after playing again and again I understand thats this slot has really HIGH volatility and winnings from this game are surprisingly RARE. Is is better to try this slot on practice mode.

Couple of months ago, I tried this game but was disappointed with wins :) The wild pays 2x, 3x, 8x, but, mostly with 2x, 3x, hahaha :) One good point that RTG slots have is Win-Win feature.

I don't like this game.

I like any chinese themed slots with the number 8 in it. Supposed to be good luck and I've had some nice wins on this slot but I don't play it alot. To me it seems the bonus comes up more often than other slots and it has a multiplier after each spin.

This is a very well designed game for RTG. I like games that are well designed like this, the little extra touches I notice and bring me back IF they can pay well, it makes me feel good playing at a game like this. The 8x's in the free spins and the regular games are great, even the 5x's in the free spins if you get this,...

The 8x's in the free spins and the regular games are great, even the 5x's in the free spins if you get this, I have to play this game for quite awhile to see money come most times, there has been times where I just started to play and it payed well. Pleasure to play at a game like this. :)

It is ok but I am bot sure if there are bonus spins or what, I will stick around to see what the game does. Judging by the low ratings people have no patience,

I really love this game. It's really lucky game for me. Had some big wins and big fun playing this game in many different RTG casinos. What i love the most about this game is the "random multiplier" on the wild symbol. So when you are in free spins you can get "random multiplier" wild sign and every win is "randomly multiplied"...

So when you are in free spins you can get "random multiplier" wild sign and every win is "randomly multiplied" max to x8 ( it's logic, according to name :P ). I warm SUGGEST players who didn't try this game so far to try it. Maybe Lucky 8 is your lucky game :D

The paytable features heavily on the eponymous number 8, with almost ever combination being comprised entirely of 8s, or multiplied by 8. It's obvious from the off that this is a very high variance game, so I was looking forward to getting started playing it ! In order to score the big numbers on the paytable your five...
The paytable features heavily on the eponymous number 8, with almost ever combination being comprised entirely of 8s, or multiplied by 8. It's obvious from the off that this is a very high variance game, so I was looking forward to getting started playing it ! In order to score the big numbers on the paytable your five of a kind combination must consist of at least 3 of the emporer wild symbols - just one in the combination receives a 2x multiplier, two a 3x multi, whereas all 3 multiplies the base paytable win by - you guessed it, 8x ! :) Some other niceties - in the free spins mode, each spin receives a random multiplier (Like Avalon from MG), up to 8x, so one of those big five of a kinds in the free spins can potentially receive a 64x multiplier... now THATS CHUNKY ! The game also features RTGs sweet "Win-win feature", so should your free spins round go terribly wrong and leave you with no win, you'll automatically receive 88x your total bet instead. You can't complain about that one! Definitely recommended :)

Awsome new game, but unfortunately without a bonus game! Howerver the game is progressive, and you could win big and up to $35,520 when betting max.

I played once, hitting the feature takes forever or i should say takes all ur money. Even after hundreds of wagering the feature payouts just cannot make it.
