Chinese-themed slot, symbolically called Lucky 88, comes from the Australian company Aristocrat. This brand is already known for its creative approach and simplicity. The game has standard 5 reels and 25 pay-lines, but many other advantages which make it fun and exciting!
Theme
The inspiration for this game comes from ancient China, so, not surprisingly, all the elements are related to Chinese tradition.
Whatever associated to China comes to your mind first, it’s there – the golden lions, drums, pagoda, old-fashioned red lamps, cranes, birds, and high card values A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9. Even the letters and numbers are designed in the traditional Chinese lettering style and not unexpectedly…
…the finishing touch is the music in the background which makes you buy the airplane ticket to China and have the real oriental adventure!
Lastly, the name of the game hides the strong symbolic. The number 88 (and number 8 in general) is considered to bring luck so if you believe in old customs and legends, maybe the luck will find its way to you!
Betting Options and Functions
Of course, the most rewarding symbol is the Emperor wild symbol, a Chinese man in his traditional clothing. If you get five Emperors your win will be multiplied by 888 (lucky number!)
The maximum jackpot in coins is 888 and the wagering range is from $0.01 up to $120 11. The Coin bet range goes from $0.01 up to $4. The maximum number of coins per bet is 4.
The highest win is only paid on any active pay-line except for the scatters which are added to payline wins.
Bear in mind that the Paper Lantern and Emperor symbols will get you winning combinations only with two identical symbols.
All pay-line wins are multiplied by the amount staked per pay-line, and the substitute wins are multiplied by 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 18, 38 or 88. Not bad!
Features Explained
Finally, let us introduce you to the special bonuses and features because this game is all about exclusive rewards!
You can boost your winnings up, by choosing the Extra choice! As mentioned earlier, the special feature is the Emperor, the Wild symbol, which can replace all the other symbols except for the Paper Lantern, which is the Scatter.
Namely, 3 or more scattered Lanterns trigger the Bonus feature. You just have to play the maximum lines and to choose the Extra Choice so you could use these features. The wager for Extra Choice is multiplied by the bet per line (5 credits plus the number of lines played).
But that’s not all! You can also roll your Lucky Dice! You can choose from 25 bonus spins – if one or more Wilds substitutes in a win, the pay is multiplied by 5 or 18. If you pick 15 than the gain is multiplied by 8 or 38, for the 8 rounds by 18 or 88 and for the 4 turns, the win is multiplied by 88.
The last but not the least – the Gamble feature! All you have to do is to press Gamble and then select Red/Black or a Suit. The bet will be doubled if Red/Black choice is correct, and quadrupled if the Suit option is the one! These winnings may be played up to five times! Quite good we must say!
Our Take
Even though the graphics and the looks are not the strongest attributes of this game, we have to admit that all the bonuses and special features make up for it! The Emperor, the Lantern, Extra choice, Lucky dice, and the Gamble feature will satisfy any experienced player or the beginner. The game is easy to play and most importantly – easy to entertain!
