Lucky Rat

Chinese astrology takes the front row in this slot, with a bit of added luck in this RealTime Gaming slot. Bright colors, impressive graphics, and a few added animations make sure that there’s always a bit of action on the reels.

The game comes with a very interesting layout, which also comes with 720 ways of paying wins both ways!

Even if you’re not a fan of rats, there’s more than enough incentive to get you interested in the game.

Take a look at the demo game here and you’ll be surprised for sure!

Theme

As said, the game takes inspiration from eastern influences, but that’s just the theme and graphical side of things. Gameplay-wise there are even more surprises in store. The audio effects, unfortunately, are not on par with the rest of the game. Luckily, the detailed graphics and the individual symbols more than make up for that.

Betting Options and Functions

The game uses a pyramid structure for the reels: the first and fifth have three symbols, the second and fourth reel have four symbols, with the middle reel having five. As the symbols need to connect on adjacent reels to count for winning combinations this all sums up to 720 different ways that you can win on any spin.

The big surprise is that the symbol combinations pay from both ways. As long as three are in line from either side of the reels you are in for a payout. And the wins are worth it for sure, starting with five times and topping out at 1000 times your bet.

Features

The wilds function as per normal, with the exception that they only land on the middle reels.

There are two scatters: the coins and the firecrackers. The coins grant scattered wins, multiplied by total bet. The firecrackers are the real deal, dishing out bonus games like there’s no tomorrow...

Once you have five firecrackers on a paying line, the bonus games start. But before this, you get to sum up all the symbol combinations. The more firecrackers, the more winning combinations they form. Each one pays back your total bet, and each combination also deals out 8 bonus games! Imagine what happens when the reels are full of these symbols, and they all are counted through 720 ways to pay...

Our Take

RealTime Gaming has stepped up their game considerably, and especially the quality of their graphics has improved tremendously over the years. There’s still a bit of work to do with the audio effects, but they more than compensate for this by the way the paylines and winning combinations are set up. Not to mention the bonus games which can have you glued to the screen for quite a time!
