Review of Lucky Koi

Lucky Koi is an online, oriental themed slot game brought to you on the Microgaming platform. This slot yields 5 reels with 25 different paylines, and offers a generous maximum payout of 125 000 coins. This is one of those games that combines great features with outstanding aesthetics to provide a well-rounded bit of entertainment.

Slot Theme

The key to the theme of Lucky Koi is found in the name of the slot, and is evident the moment you switch on the screen. The aim: Catch the lucky koi. The transparent reels allow us to enjoy the beautiful backdrop of the moving koi pond. The animation involved in the background is really captivating, and promotes an extremely relaxing atmosphere in game. This slot game is set in the orient, and is sure to captivate the keen fisherman in a more mystical and traditional way.

Symbols and Soundtrack

The oriental theme of this game is really given life when the music starts. The unmistakable eastern tunes offer a peaceful and ambient setting with a slight lilt in the tempo once you enter the special bonus features of the game. Enough time spent in this game may cause you to want to adorn a sash and komodo, tie your hair in a topknot, and eat your food using chopsticks, all while wondering to yourself if koi would make good sushi or not.

The symbol images of this game pay homage to the orient with their perfectly fitting characters. We have a dragonfly, terrapin on a lily pad, toad on a lily pad, lotus flower, inscribed Chinese fan, lucky coins, gold and silver ornaments, and of course the beautiful koi, themselves.

The ‘wild’ is represented by the ‘Lucky Koi’ logo, and the ‘scatter’ by the unique scatter garden tile.

Bonus Features

There are two bonus features in this game. The fantastic thing is that they are both triggered in the same way. Roll 3 or more scatters on the screen, and you will be able to choose whether you would like to engage the free spins bonus game, or whether you would like to activate the ‘Koi Bonus Game’.

Free Spins

Should you select the free spins round, you will be allotted anywhere up to 30 free spins, with a multiplier allotted to the wins in this feature of up to 5 X. In this bonus feature, the ‘Wild’ becomes expanded on the reel (stacked wild) for the entire duration of the free spin segment to increase the chances of landing a winning combination. Great news is that the free spins can be re-triggered during the feature.

Koi Bonus Game

Should you accept this feature rather, you will be taken to a koi pond, to go fishing for not only koi, but the gold coins that they carry. You will be presented with 12 koi fish, of which you will be able to select 3-6 of them to catch with your fishing rod. Random bonus amounts will be paid for each koi captured.
