On top of that, with multipliers, the maximum obtainable win is 4,000x your bet.

Modernizing a retro game isn't an easy task. As a matter of fact, the majority of the time most developers completely fail at this task. Retro games are often more minimal, both graphically and feature wise. That means it is tricky to modernize and have the game compete with a thriving market of heavy graphics, feature-heavy games. However, Lucky Reels isn't your average retro game. For one thing, even the format is unusual. The six reel, three row game is displayed on the top half of the one-armed bandit type fruit machine, and is played on twenty fixed pay lines, rather than one. This game is both nostalgic and innovative all at once.

To dive into the visuals, Lucky Reels is played with a total of eight symbols. These eight symbols are set against an orange and pink background, and are fully decorated with a plethora of bubbles and light strobes. They have fruit symbols, such as grapes, plums, cherries, lemons, and pears which are all suspended in the air. The fruit is designed in a lifelike manner, with subtle design elements that help create that illusion. Alongside standard fruit symbols, this game has a red number 7 which is decorated with stars. The wild symbol is illustrated as a bowl of fruit, while the scatter is designed to look like a shiny diamond. The game has background music, which further adds to the theme quite nicely. They went with synth based space background music, which is both dramatic while at the same time not disrupting to your game process. You can mute all sounds or adjust the volume in the background if you prefer to play in silence.

Symbols and How To Play

Before you begin playing, you should check out the control panel and make all the necessary adjustments. There is a loudspeaker symbol, which allows you to access sound controls. All pay lines are fixed, and you need to choose a total bet per spin. You will need to pick a volatility as I previously mentioned, and you can choose that via the three chili pepper buttons. You can also adjust the speed using the tortoise image. You can spin normal, fast, or ultra-fast. You can also choose to auto play if it suits you, and you can set the auto-play to spin from 10 to 1,000 times without having to hit that space bar once. Limits can be set via advanced options located in the menu.

You'll also need to choose your coins, which will determine your total bet. The wild symbol is the highest paying and awards 2,500 credits for six. The scatter awards 1,000 credits for six, along with activating free spins. The lucky 7 symbol pays out 1,250x your bet when you land a match of six. Meanwhile, the fruit symbols pay out less. Six grapes award 600 coins, while cherries pay 400 credits and lemons and pears pay out 120 to 150 credits.
