Leander Games keeps improving more and more, and at this point, they are at the forefront when it comes to modern slots with the other big companies of the field.
Lucky Strike has clearly been influenced by the gem games of yesteryear, both in the online casino sphere and in video games in general.
Is that enough though?
Obviously not, as a theme alone is not enough content to carry a slot. It does add a certain level of entertainment, especially when everything else about the game is attractive and interesting.
What awaits you are some interesting reels, pay systems and wins that will surprise you.
Theme and Symbols
The background reveals an elaborate mining network, so we all know where the gems come from and why they are so plentiful on the reels. All the symbols are different sort and different colour gems, be that diamonds or emeralds.
The sound effects and especially the music is of matching level, and both really bring out the enjoyment of the action in this game. The game is a bit light on animations, but there seems to be no need for them either.
Betting Options and Functions
This is the interesting part, for sure!
The game comes with 21 reels, which in effect means that each individual symbol position is its own reel.
This is because instead of normal paylines, the game uses scatter wins. You know the scatter symbol, right? Well, in this Leander Games slot each symbol acts as a scatter.
There’s a special center symbol, which we talk about more in the next section about specials. The payouts for the remaining symbols don’t offer all that big of a scale, with the smallest possible payout being 0.60 times your bet, and the largest 28 times your bet.
Volatility seems to settle somewhere in the middle, with the RTP being a tad bit above 96%.
Features
The central feature, so to speak, is the massive diamond found in the central position of the reels. Flanked by all the smaller ones, it acts to launch the one special feature that this game comes with: whenever the big symbol matches with smaller winning symbols, a respin is in order.
The re-spin will be done with all matching winning symbols held in place. If a new matching symbol drops, a new resin is awarded. Meanwhile, the multiplier count will keep ticking up with each such win, going all the way to five. Wins are counted after every spin. Technically, this could happen sixteen times in a row.
Our Take
Lucky Strike is an interesting combination of a sort of a classic theme - diamonds are forever after all - simple features and the interesting concept of scatter pays and individual reels.
Perhaps not the first time this has been done, but certainly one of the first times everything is put together so well. Thumbs up from us!
