Lock A Luck

There’s no getting around it, this slot’s theme is most definitely  ‘classic slot’. Even the music has a repetitive retro feel that you’re either going to love or hate.  The grid is a standard 5 x 3 job, made up of a series of unimpressive symbols. Players will find A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9 symbols. These haven’t been crafted in a particularly skillful way, but this is probably deliberate because Lock A Luck is going for simple style in every aspect. The remaining symbols are cherries, four leaf clovers, diamonds (which stands in as the jackpot symbol) and horseshoes. These are all either well known symbols for luck, or classic symbols found on all the original slot machines.

The grid and background also take on a very simple look, working with several different shades of blue and a very static display. Aside from a repetitive glimmer of light that crosses the reels at regular intervals, there’s virtually no animation to contend with whatsoever. Lock A Luck’s simplistic approach can be received in two ways. Some players will undoubtedly find it dull and uninspiring, while others will be glad of the lack of flashing features, preferring a return to the original slots.

The good news is that you’re likely to get the gist of Lock A Luck pretty quickly. The bad news is that this is because it’s exceptionally light on features. That being said, with this particular slot, I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Read on to find out if you agree.

And that’s all she wrote folks. So you can either be thrilled by the simplicity of it all, or outraged by the sheer lack of complexity. And because it’s such an opinion-dividing slot, I would definitely recommend that players give it a whirl on free play mode before committing any real cash.

With a bet range that runs between 0.20 and 60.00, even the more recreational players will feel comfortable jumping in. Players who enjoy the thrill of placing big bets might feel a little limited. That being said, playing at the top bet of C$60 per spin does mean that you’re in with the chance for a prize of just under C$80,000.

So how easy is it to get near that win? Well, the slot’s top prize is achieved when you get 2 locked reels to expand across all 5 reels. That means a full screen of matched up symbols. Manage this and you’ll be paid out up to 1,333 times your stake.

As a Medium volatility slot, the individual wins come fairly frequently, though many of these come in at below your bet spend. Every 10 spins or so you will win larger amounts that do fairly well to cover your losses until that point. I triggered a ‘super big win’ twice, each of which paid out over C$100. So while Lock A Luck is unlikely to make you rich, there’s a fairly good chance you’ll make a few hundred dollars and have a fair shot at a bigger win.
