Lucky Firecracker Slot Review

You certainly get to see the world when playing slot games and this time around we’re back in the Orient. This was released just in time for the Chinese New Year by those clever people at Microgaming. They are no strangers to releasing slot games with an Oriental theme with other popular releases including ‘Jewels of the Orient’ and ‘Gung Pow.’

Fireworks Guaranteed

The symbols in the game include sparklers, firecrackers and rockets. The kind of fireworks kids always seem to be setting off at all times of the night from about September onwards. We even had some set off during a bright sunny day recently, not the most stunning firework display you’ll ever see. Other symbols include a paper lantern and then there’s the nine to Ace playing card symbols. The playing card symbols will present you with a fair few wins to help keep your account balance ticking over with some small wins.

The wild here is the Chinese symbol which translates into Lucky Firecracker apparently. It’s only seen on the second and fourth reels. When it does turn up it can substitute for other symbols to get you some winning combinations. It can’t sub for the Chinese dollar which is the scatter symbol in this game.

All the control buttons for this game are down at the bottom of the screen and easy to find. Tasks like setting your stake present you with no problems whatsoever. There is an autoplay feature available allowing you some automated spins of the reels. This can be up to 100 or you can set your own more precise amount.

Before putting some cash into this game, do a bit of research. A few free games are always handy just to see how the game runs. Also take a good look through the information packed paytable.

Sparkling Free Spins

That scatter symbol is one you’ll want to see a fair amount of. That’s because it triggers the bonus game and gets you some free spins. You need at least three of them to appear anywhere on the reels. When that happens you are awarded 15 free spins and during the free spins bonus round all your wins will be tripled. If three or more scatter symbols appear during the free spins, then you’ll be awarded more free spins to try and win some cash with.

As with many slot releases by Microgaming there’s a Gamble Feature here. This appears when you get a win in the base game. Now you don’t have to take up the challenge but if you do there’s the chance to substantially increase the win you’ve just had. It’s the playing card game again and you need to guess the colour of the next card (red or black) to double your win. This can be done five times but just try doing that with a pack of playing cards and see how difficult that is. If you do make a mistake, then you lose all your win. Best be careful with this then and never gamble big wins

Final Words

Another entertaining slot release by Microgaming. The game has a good look to it and an entertaining soundtrack. Lots of chance to get some good wins here and that’s especially the case in the bonus game with those tripled wins. Be careful with the gamble feature and try to keep your wins.
