Lucky Firecracker Slot Review

How to play

The Lucky Firecracker slot features typical gameplay with five reels, three rows, and no paylines. The tweak to the gameplay is that, instead of payline, the slot features 243 ways to win. The ways to win gameplay means that, as long as you land matching symbols in any position on adjacent reels and from left to right, starting with the leftmost reel, you will form a winning combination. The wins don't have to land in specific patterns or lines.

Since there are no paylines, all wins are multiplied by the coin bet instead. So, before spinning the reels, you have to select your number of coins between one and 10. You also select the coin size, which is between 0.01 and 0.50. To calculate your total bet, you multiply your number of coins by your coin size and then multiply all of that by 25. The total bet range is, therefore, between €0.25 and €125, so it is attractive to all different types of players regardless of budget.

Symbols and payouts

The symbols on the reels of the Lucky Firecracker slot fit the theme ideally, mostly being firecrackers and rockets used to celebrate Chinese New Year. The Asian-themed slot features some special symbols like the wild, the slot logo, and the scatter, which is the gold coin. The scatter offers a reward of 100x, 10x, 2x, and 1x your total bet for landing five, four, three, and two symbols on the reels.

All wins are multiplied by the coin bet, which is calculated by multiplying the coin size by the number of coins. The highest paying standard symbol is the rocket, which will give you 3,000, 300, 30, and 12 coins for landing five, four, three, and two symbols. The red symbol will then give you 2,000, 200, 20, and 7 coins.

Next is the paper lantern with a reward of 1,500, 150, and 15 coins, while the firecrackers will give you 750, 125, and 12 coins for landing five, four, and three symbols on the reels. The fireworks will also give you 500, 100, and 10 coins.

The lower paying symbols of the game include A and K, which offer 200, 30, and 8 coins; Q and J that will reward you with 150, 20, and 5 coins; and finally, 10 and 9, which will give you 100, 15, and 2 coins of a kind for landing five, four and three symbols.

RTP & volatility

The Lucky Firecrackers RTP is set at 96.19%, and so it is slightly above the average for most online slots. It also offers medium volatility, which means decent-sized wins are coming in often as you spin the reels, while massive wins and unlocking the free spins round will be rare.
