Lucky 6 Slot Machine
Just what is it about the number 6? A curse for some, a sheer beacon of hope and good fortune for many others, the digit undoubtedly has its very own place in gambling folklore. Perhaps that's why the industry has been so attentively alive and in waiting for the brand new paid or free Lucky 6 slot from the titans at Real Time Gaming (RTG).
Never a team to shy away from any and all of the hype that their releases have received over a well decorated career timeline (whether deserved or not) RTG always bestow a great deal of confidence unto the iGaming community in the run up to their titles' launch. Things were absolutely no different in the time leading up to the release of the Lucky 6 video slot. Anticipation was high and click fingers fully primed to take on this online slot.
A Lucky Theme
There's only ever going to be so much thematic guess work involved in the case of an online casino slot game named Lucky 6'. Just like so many others with similar monikers, this slot bares a theme that falls directly (though make no mistake, very neatly and with much grace) into the lucky charm category. It's all rainbows and shamrocks, enchanted mushrooms and horseshoes. Though all of this and more would typically point towards a game that is truly lacking, in this instance the charming interface and mixture of 2D and 3D graphics create something that can stand on its own.
All mobile compatibility concerns aside, this is a game that will perform at a very high level across all browser types on desktop. Each game feature remains pristine and clear, all of the reels gleaming with life and you can't help but begin to think that you may just have stumbled into the midst of one of RTG's best ever middle-of-the-road, generically themed releases.
It's not the most original and the plastic 'Irish' mood of it all can easily become tiresome (particularly if you have the volume on), but overall it really is no big deal. The software is smooth and the standard of game more than enough to keep players of all experience levels entertained for a sustained period.
What's on the Line?
One thing that probably should have been mentioned by this point is the fact that both the real cash and free versions of Lucky 6 (bar wager capability, they are one and the same game) have 6 reels. This additional reel may not seem like a big deal at first, but after a player has been spinning for a little while, they'll certainly notice the extra weight applied to those pot gains - especially if they're a bit of a high roller.
As well as this extra reel adding to the power of the slot, punters who are out to play for real money will surely take a great deal of joy in knowing that the limits on this little beauty run pretty deep. With individual reel bets ranging in size per line, you can play secure in the knowledge that things can be altered to your liking should you hit the rocks at all.
The Rainbow symbol is the games wild and wild it is. Appearing across any of the 6 reels in no special combination, this symbol will unlock all of the slots real treasures. Functioning in the same way as a standard wild, the rainbow will override everything else upon your reels aside from the scatters (L, C, Y, K, 6).
A Certain Likeness
This game bears a certain resemblance to a couple recently put out by emerging Spanish iGaming talent 'R Franco'. Both of these belong to the Game of Chronos series and are title 'Eagle' and 'Lion'. Any fan of a certain world-famous HBO smash hit series will surely be able to work out what theme they follow... If you've encountered either of these titles then it's highly advisable that you give Lucky 6 a shot. This game mimics many of the same patterns and functions, not to mention wager amounts and payout capabilities.
A Full Stop
There's very little point in trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes and attempt to outline this game as something that is unlike anything that has ever come before. Certainly, it has its quirks, but ultimately, it's the same deal as many lucky charm-oriented slots that have come before - and are yet to come in the future.
That being said, it plays smoothly, competes with the best of the year in terms of looks and offers the chance to land on some decent money. With all of that in mind, there's not much stopping you giving it a go.
