easter luck theme, stakes, pays & symbols

I find it really quite strange that I barely even noticed Easter go by this last year! Most years, I’ll make sure to buy myself at least a couple of my favourite eggs; this year, however, I just seemed to miss the event entirely. That’s not so unusual, but I’ll tell you what most certainly is – I only spotted two other online slots with the word ‘Easter’ in their titles in our review library! Those were Eastern Emeralds Megaways (well, I guess it’s “kind of” in there) and A Winter’s Tale. Hmmm, I'm not sure what’s happening with that last one, but I think the point is that there seems to be a dire lack of Easter-based slots – unless we’ve also been missing those too! If you really did want to play an Easter-themed slot, then, I guess you wouldn’t have too many choices; on the bright side, this one – Easter Luck – is well-presented, bright, and colourful. It’s just a shame that the jackpot is a little on the low side.

Games with huge numbers of payways typically suffer from heavily restricted payouts on their paytables. It’s obvious, really – if it’s theoretically possible to win on thousands of payways simultaneously, there is no way for a developer to attach anything significant to even a six of a kind win. The more valuable symbols in this game feature various coloured eggs – there’s a pink/blue one with a top payout of 3x the total bet, a fluorescent green one at 2x (appetising!), and one that almost looks like it's on fire at 1.7x for all six symbols. At the bottom end of the table are four animal symbols – a frog at 0.5x, a dog(?) at 0.3x, a rabbit at 0.3x, and a sheep at 0.24x for a six of a kind combination.

The minimum/maximum permitted bets offered in Easter Luck are €0.50 and €50.00 per round, respectively. I can live with that, even if the minimum is a little on the high side for those with smaller bankrolls, but only offering five other bets in between this huge bet spread is just inexcusable.

base game & modifiers

The playfield used in Easter Luck features six reels; reels one and six have three symbols, reels two and five have four symbols, and the middle two have a full five symbols. This creates a diamond-shaped reel set and explains how the game gets its unusual payway count of 3,600. There are only seven different symbols on the reels plus the wild, which helps you win more frequently and increases your chances of lining up matching symbols on either side when you have lots of wilds in the centre of the reels.

easter luck bonus features

There’s no full-on bonus round included in this game, which seems like a bit of a missed opportunity – I’m sure a little bit of RTP could have been found for something simple such as a simple free spins feature. 

Nevertheless, the expanding sticky wild symbol feature present in the base game does act as a bonus of sorts – it’s certainly possible to win much more from it than any old regular spin! As I said in the opening paragraphs though, it’s going to be up to individual players to decide if that one feature is enough to hold their interest.
