Lucky Ladies Slot
Lucky Ladies is a stylish, retro themed game where pinup-type female characters styled for the 1940s are flying and working on small planes from the same era. This game is so reminiscent of the iconic poster ‘We Can Do It’ from the same era, encouraging women to fulfil traditional male roles as millions of men were sent off to fight in the Second World War.
This time played a huge part in feminism and the empowerment of women so it’s cool to see this popular style replicated in an online game. Here the setting is an airfield, and the female characters play a part in mechanics, refueling and even flying the aircraft, just as women were tasked with back in the 40s. Quite an original theme!
This is a 5 reel, 20 payline game with Wild and Scatter features and a jackpot of 1,000 coins, although unfortunately no bonus games.
You Can Do It, like These Ladies Certainly Can
We can’t overemphasise how much we love the artwork of this slot, with our only disappointment being that we don’t see enough of the cool pinup characters while playing the game.
Once you’re playing, the backdrop of the reels is an airport fuelling area, with a couple of plans just in view and plenty of Tarmac. Why they missed the opportunity to add characters at either side of the slot design is beyond us, although they do sometimes feature on the reels themselves.
Generally, the attention to the details of the theme is good, we particularly like the retro radio which appears when you open the ‘Pays’ information. The general background sounds are aeronautical, with the sounds of engines and sometimes pilots speaking on the radio. When spinning, you get a somewhat misplaced 1940s style stage sound but it’s at least in keeping with the era.
There are some nice little effects to look out for, like the spinning propellor of the free spins plane symbol and the passing shadows of overhead planes, but otherwise with the lack of bonus games here there’s little more excitement to be had in terms of graphics and theme.
Maximum 1,000-Coin Payout
This is a 5 reel, 20 payline game offering a maximum payout of 1,000 coins, which we’re pleased to say is higher than some of Cayetano’s other offerings such as Little Red Riding Hood, which give a measly 500 coins. The value of Lucky Ladies could potentially be $/£/€200,000 and coin values range from 0.20 to a 1,000.00 maximum bet.
There are ten regular symbols here and a Random Wild which rotates between the three different female pinup characters. The Wilds are only activated when a box is parachuted in and hits the reels, transforming it into a stacked wild. You’ll need to line up 5 Wilds in order to win the maximum payout.
The Free Spins wild features a small red plane with spinning propellor and when 3 of these appear anywhere on the reels, you can choose one to receive a multiplier, which progressively increases as you continue to play. As with some other Cayetano games we don’t have any further features to mention but you can view the full pay table below.
Fly High with the Lucky Ladies
We’d recommend checking this game out if just to admire the retro pinup-style graphics which we were very impressed with. Unfortunately, for a video slot there’s not much in the way of added interest here; no bonus games and a limited amount of animation.
This game is somewhat style over substance although the 1,000 coin jackpot is more appealing than many other games in its league, giving you the chance to win up to $/£/€200,000 if you play for high stakes. We would have liked to see better use of the high quality artwork here and ideally some more interesting features but if you like good artwork and a simple game format then you may enjoy this slot.
