Lucky Little Gods

Lucky Little Gods is an adventure that takes place in a world above the clouds. A world where fortune comes to those bold enough to look for it.

Right off the bat, it’s apparent that this title packs more than a few redeeming qualities. It all starts with a quality theme, as usual, but it doesn’t end there. The core game itself is a thing of beauty, especially if you appreciate smooth gameplay with no hiccups!

On top of everything, there are also a few interesting, fairly unique special features!

In short, this title has everything you’d want from a quality online slots game.

Theme Packed with Pagodas and Clouds

If that title led you to believe that we’re talking about another ancient China-themed game, you’d be correct!

Microgaming joined that craze with this game, but in a slightly different way. In their usual manner…

… they’ve invested a lot of effort into making this game look good. That is more than some other studios can say when it comes to Chinese inspired titles.

The whole thing takes place in a land above the clouds. The theme is dominated by towering pagodas and clear skies riddled with puffy, white clouds.

As far as aesthetics go, the background image is on point. After all, it is much better than the usual red texture you see in other games with similar themes.

Another thing worth mentioning is that the UI fits the theme. The buttons are a part of the concept and not just stacked at the bottom of the screen. The result is a perfectly functional but aesthetically efficient UI!

Symbol Design

Much like the theme itself, symbols in this game are very detailed and high quality. Designers used a slightly altered Anime style…

… that is similar to what you’d see in Dragon Ball Z. Lower paying symbols feature Chinese pictograms of different colors, while higher paying ones come in the form of several different characters.

The character design is impressive! Each of these symbols looks convincing to a point where you feel like they have a story to tell. That’s not something you often see in slots in general.

Everything we’ve mentioned so far falls perfectly within the whole ancient China aesthetic. That is until we reach the scatter symbol.

It’s hard to figure out whether you’re looking at a pair of firecrackers or a pair of soda cups! Former makes much more sense considering the context of the theme. However, we’d like to believe that they are actually soda cups. It’s more fun that way.

Betting Options and Functions

The first thing you should know about this game is that there are no paylines. This title belongs to the 243 ways to win genre of slot games! In other words, all you need to win is to get adequate symbols in adjoining reels.

The byproduct of this genre is the fact that only the highest paying combo is counted.

As far as betting options go, you can set the bet value and total bet using two simple sliders. It makes budgeting your balance quick and easy. With an RTP of 96.75%, you’re looking at an engaging player experience.

Special Features

There are three bonus features on top of the usual free spin mode. Each bonus mode is triggered by its own scatter icon. That’s right, there are 3 scatter symbols in total as well as a standalone bonus symbol.

The first bonus feature is the Golden Tree scatter mode. If you get the golden tree symbol in any of the reels…

… the coins from the tree fall and double the value of whatever symbol they fall on.

Next up is the Treasure Pot scatter bonus. It only appears in reel 3 at any position. When you get it, all you have to do is select it and you might win anywhere from 20x to 100x of the total bet value on a single spin!

The last bonus mode is the Little Gods bonus feature. It’s fairly similar to the previous two and has the potential to award you with x40 multiplier on your total bet.

On top of all that, you have the free spin scatter symbol, which awards you a max of 8 free spins.

Our Take:

Microgaming has managed to pull off an ancient China-themed game that somehow stands out. They’ve done this by going all out with the theme as well as the special game features.

The end result is a fun game with a decent enough engagement to keep you entertained for a good while. We can’t really ask for much more than that.
