Sign of Luck Slots
There is something confusing about the theme of this slot. The luck symbols are clear, no doubts when it comes to 4-leaf clovers, ladybirds, shooting stars and black cats. It is the background and music which confuse me. There are rolling green hills and a barn in the background – which immediately made me think of Ireland. At the same time, you’ll find a windmill (not a traditional one, more line a wind turbine) and the music just does not sound very Irish to me. If I had to guess what the stomping, smooth accordion-led tune was, then I’d go for French, or maybe Belgian?
Beneath all of this you’ll find a clean and clear 5 reel video slot, which works well on both computers and mobile devices. Sign of Luck has the usual Viaden hallmarks, an outsized win possibility (for 5 wilds) and a free spins bonus round – this time the wins are tripled. The reels are transparent, showing the rolling hills behind. There is nothing amazing in the graphics or animations; this is a solid and nice looking slot rather than a spectacular one. The key reason to play is to give yourself a shot at that 10,000 coins top prize – which would be tripled if you land it during the 15 free spins.
Setup and Play for Sign of Luck
There are 9 win-lines, which you can select from, and stakes start at just 1c a line and maxing out at 5c per line – making this a bona-fide penny slot. You’ll find the usual gamble after win, which involves choosing either the colour or the suit of a playing card. Auto-play is available, and there are plenty of options in the settings menu which include fast-play (which does not spin the reels, just gives you a new set of symbols).
The black cat with the huge green eyes is the symbol you’ll want to see. First this is the wild symbol, and will substitute for all of the regular symbols (though not the clover (scatter)). Second, this symbol doubles any winning combination is completes. Third (and for me best of all), you can win 10,000 coins for 5 on a line, 1000 coins for 4, 100 for 3 and even a token payment of 10 coins for just 2. No other symbol in this game even comes close.
The regular prizes are headed up by the shooting star, which is worth 600 coins for 5. Next comes the horseshoe (500 for 5), pig (400), pot of gold at the end of a rainbow (200), ladybird (200) and then the playing card symbols in their usual supporting role of providing small wins.
Clovers are the scatter symbol. This means that they trigger a prize wherever they land on the reels, and not just on specific lines. 5 anywhere on the reels gets you a big 250 times your total bet amount, with 20 times for 4, 5x for 3 and 2x for just 2. If you hit 3 of more of these symbols, you’ll separately trigger 15 free spins.
Sign of Luck Bonus Round
There is only one thing different about the free spins bonus round compared to the regular game – all wins are tripled. This puts the top line prize at a huge 30,000 coins (5 cats). The only clue you are in the bonus is that the logo at the top of the reels changes to a count-down. You can retrigger this bonus game at any point during play with 3+ more scatter symbols.
Sign of Luck – Conclusion
Wherever this is slot is based, there is no doubt for me that the pieces all come together nicely. Luck signs are a safe bet for any slot – though few combine these with relaxed traditional music and rolling green hills in quite the way that Sign of Luck does. This is not a high-intensity slot, there is only the single bonus game and the wild + scatter symbols to keep you entertained. For many players, a solid and attractive slot with the chance of a 30,000 coin win is entertaining enough on its own. I’d recommend taking a look – especially if you like the less intensive, more relaxing types of game.
