The wombat says: What’s up Wombat fans? Lucky Riches Hyperspins slot from Microgaming, that’s what.
This shiny new slot is an upgrade on the original Lucky Riches game just with better graphics and a new ‘pay to play’ feature. The result is a mix of old and new. It’s time to spin… All of those symbols remind me of the Super Burning Wins Respin slot and other traditional games
Look and Feel
This is one glitzy game! Your reel action takes place in a high-end casino, while the blurred-out backdrop to the reels is a glittering and glamorous city at night. Is it Vegas? Or Montecarlo? Who knows! It could even be Bognor Regis…
Game Play
Lucky Riches Hyperspins slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win. Instead of pay-lines (head to the 3D Gems of Adoria slot if that´s more your bag), you’ll land a winning combos here by matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1.
Bets begin at 0.25 and go up to 125 per spin.
Your symbols on the reels are made up of casino chips, 7s, bars, golden bells and dice, and the most valuable icon in the game is the triple 7 symbol – which can pay you out 160x your bet for 5. But, you can also get a win with 2 of a kind which is a nice little touch… Sometimes, a bit of traditional styling just works, right? Take the Reel King Megaways slot for example. I rest my case!
The lowest-paying icons are represented by the standard A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 playing cards, while the game logo acts as a wild. It will land on reels 2 and 4 and substitute for all other icons on the reels to make extra a winning combinations.
The shiny bling-bling diamond acts as the Scatter in the game, and is the key to the bonus round.
Free Spins and Bonuses
Free Spins
Land at least 3x scatters on reels, and you’ll trigger off the Free Spins feature.
Next, you will be awarded with 15 free spins – with the ability to re-trigger the bonus round indefinitely by landing 3x more Scatters! It could literally go on for hours Wombat fans…
But, that’s not all! During this feature all your wins will be multiplied by 3x. This is one bonza bonus.
Hyperspins Respin
Hyperspins are a cool new mechanism from Microgaming that gives us players the option of paying for unlimited re-spins on one reel.
After any spin, you’ll be offered the chance to spin a reel again. For example, if you hit 3x of the chip icons on reels 1, 2, and 4, you could respin the third reel to try and scoop 4x matching symbols. Get it?
How much it will cost you to re-spin depends on whether you’re close to a big win or not, but the price is shown on each reel.
The best thing about this bonus is there’s no limit to how many times you can respin a reel – so you can keep chasing the Scatter symbols for as long as you want! Although it could seriously deplete bank balance if you’re not careful…
Conclusion
Not bad. Lucky Riches Hyperspins slot offers up some decent low variance action and a x3 Free Spins multiplier is always welcome. But, if you want to up the ante, part with your cash for the Hyperspins feature – and hopefully watch the wins roll in!
