Play Lucky Penny For Real Prizes
Lucky Penny Review
Lucky Penny from 3 Oaks is a slot that flew under a lot of people’s radars, but if you take it for a spin, you’ll realise it can be fun and potentially very rewarding!
To sum up the gameplay, this is almost a clone of Gates of Olympus (and its many reskins). With a tumbling scatter pays format, you’re looking to land 8 or more symbols anywhere on the 6 x 5 grid, and every now and then, the leprechaun standing to the side will toss in a Multiplier coin (worth up to 1,000x) to amplify your wins. It’s just like Zeus and his lightning bolt multipliers in Gates of Olympus.
In fact, if you’ve played Santa’s Great Gifts/Forge of Olympus, that is the more accurate comparison. That’s because you get to choose from two levels when you enter the bonus round here, each with different parameters for the Multipliers.
While 3 Oaks has never revealed the RTP for Lucky Penny, we can confirm it’s highly volatile, and there is the potential for some frequent and massive wins, capped at 20,000x – impressive!
Pros
- Bonus game is often very rewarding
- Relaxing and bright atmosphere
- Easy-to-understand rules
- Perfect for fans of Gates of Olympus, Forge of Olympus, etc.
Cons
- Visuals look a little cheap
- Unknown RTP
- Derivative of already existing slots
How To Play
- Adjust the bet size and the game speed to your liking, then hit spin.
- The aim is to land 8 or more OAK symbols on the grid. Multiplier coins appear randomly throughout the game. When you land a win, the winning symbols tumble away to be replaced. All wins are tallied up over the course of the tumble sequence, and any Multipliers on the grid are added up and then applied to the total win.
- Wild symbols substitute for any base symbols. The Leprechaun Scatter symbol can take you to the bonus round when you land 4, 5, or 6, awarding 15, 20, and 25 free spins respectively. Within the bonus round, 3 more Scatter symbols retrigger 5 free spins.
- During the bonus game, Multipliers become more common, and whenever a Multiplier lands on the same spin as a win, its value is added to the Total Multiplier. This builds throughout the bonus round and is applied when you get a Multiplier + win for the duration of the round.
- Players can buy the bonus, potentially landing up to 25 spins. There are two choices available with differing buy-ins:
- Free Spins for 100x the current bet, where Multipliers have values from 2x – 1,000x.
- Super Free Spins for 500x the current bet, where Multipliers have values from 10x – 1,000x.
Bonus Symbols
- Multiplier symbols: These land randomly in both the base game and bonus round and can have a value from 2x – 1,000x.
- Leprechaun Scatter symbols: These land randomly in the base game and bonus round. 4, 5, or 6 in the base game will take you to the bonus round with 15, 20, and 25 spins respectively. Landing 3 more in the bonus round will retrigger 5 extra spins.
- Wild symbols: Substitute for all symbols except the Multiplier and Leprechaun symbols.
Bonus Features
- Free spins round: This plays out in much the same way as the base game, except that Multipliers are more common, and each Multiplier that lands on the same spin as a win is added to the Total Multiplier field. This value builds throughout the round and applies when any further wins land with a Multiplier.
- Max win: Set at 20,000x.
SweepsPlays Verdict
- Fans of Gates of Olympus will be right at home, but rather than a Greek gods theme, we have a whimsical Irish/leprechaun feel.
- Keep an eye on your balance; wins and tumbles come frequently, but they’re often small. In true leprechaun fashion, you might lose a lot of money before you realise it.
- That said, the high volatility of this slot can soon come into play, and the bonus round can present some truly massive sums when the big Multipliers fall right.
- There’s a catchy Irish ditty playing in the background, and the symbols and general look of the game are bright and charming.
- While the buy-in for the Super Free Spins round is steep at 500x, it can pay off with its big Multipliers.
