Lucky Shot is an exciting new slot game offering from Microgaming, the world's leading company when it comes to designing and manufacturing online casino software. This is a five-reel game, with twenty pay lines, and allows for a maximum bet of 200 coins. The theme involves the game of golf, which, like the game of slots and the game of life, is something one may never fully conquer.

Microgaming has invented some innovative functions that make playing at an online casino a higher level of experience for its players. It developed the PlayCheck and CashCheck functions in 1999 and 2000 that allows players to track their gaming and financial histories in real-time.

In 2003, Microgaming began using its Viper software. This software has helped Microgaming to push the boundaries of online slots games by increasing the casino's usability and simplicity, at the same time as providing optional functions that improve the player's gaming experience.

HOLE IN ONE

As a leading developer of online casino software, Microgaming offers an impressive diversity of slot genres and themes. Lucky Shot combines two extremely relaxing, yet serious and potentially profitable pastimes such as golf and slots into one entertaining, lucrative video slot game. It features cartoon-like golfers, plenty of golf-related accessories, and a funny gopher character who probably secretly lives in holes and tunnels under the golf course. The standard 5×3-reel grid is set in the middle of this green golf course, the design is beautiful, and the soundtrack is very lively.

This is a colorful, light-hearted video slot with a positive atmosphere. However, it is not available for practice play and punters need a real-money account at their preferred casino in order to play.

PAYTABLE EXPLAINED

This is a non-progressive amusing golf-themed video slot by Microgaming which is played over 5 reels and 20 adjustable pay lines. It can be played with up to 10 coins per line and players can choose a coin denomination from 0.01 to 0.50 credits in the currency they use. The maximum bet reaches 200 coins or 100.00 credits, but those who are on a budget can wager as low as 0.01 credits per spin.

The AutoPlay function is available if you want to minimize your interaction with the actual casino software. And you speed things up in the game, getting more action across the reels in a shorter amount of time, by using Quick Spin.

SPECIAL ICONS

• Interestingly, this Microgaming release does not feature a Wild icon. At first, slot players may find the lack of a Wild frustrating but to balance it out, developers have added two Scatters.
• The first Scatter symbol is represented as a Golf Cart which, unlike typical Scatters appearing anywhere on the reels, pays whenever three or more carts land on adjacent reels. The maximum payout for 5 carts on adjacent reels is 50x the total bet. In addition to the Scatter payout, players receive free spins.
• The game features another Scatter symbol that triggers a second bonus feature. Surprisingly, this is the cartoonish gopher. Depending on the number of gophers landing on adjacent reels, players can win up to 50x the total bet. The gopher symbol also triggers the Gopher Bonus Game.

REGULAR SYMBOLS

• The slot has various golf-themed symbols such as a Ball Sasher, a Golf Bag, and a Golf Club hitting a ball. Those icons will bring between 8 to 12 coins for just three matching ones on the reels to 100 and 300 coins for five.
• There are several Golfers as well – male and female, old and young. They offer from 400 to 800 coins for five of the kind combinations.
• The Trophy and the Lucky Shot logo are the highest paying symbols, bringing prizes of up to 2,000 and 15,000 coins, respectively.

BONUS AND ADDITIONAL POSSIBILITIES

The two Scatter icons in the game activate two different bonus features. The first one is triggered whenever 3, 4, or 5 cart symbols fall on adjacent reels and players receive randomly either 9 or 18 free spins. These free rounds come with a 2x multiplier and the payouts for a cart and gopher icons are different than they are in the base game. Players who get 3 matching Scatters during the free spins will receive winnings worth 10x the total bet; 4 Scatters will earn them 50x the total bet, and 5 Scatters bring 200x the total bet.

The second bonus feature is the Gopher Bonus Game which activates after 3 or more gopher symbols land on any position but on adjacent reels. When this happens, players are immediately awarded the corresponding gopher payout and then, the reels are replaced with a second screen. An animated game starts, and 15 gophers hold 15 targets. Players need to pick a certain number of targets, depending on the number of Scatters that triggered the feature. When the golfer hits the targets, they will reveal different cash prizes. The maximum prize in this bonus game is worth 300x the total bet.
