Lucky Stars

Count your lucky stars before trying out this 5 reel video slot released by 1x2 Gaming. It is themed around the constellations of the Zodiac and has reels illuminated by neon lights. You don’t really need to consult the horoscope in order to play this game, just go ahead and enjoy its unconventional and entertaining features.

Lucky Stars theme

The symbols in the reels are based on astrological signs and designed in the humorous, cartoonish style. In the background you can see blue fogs of the Milky Way and the planets of our solar system revolving around the sun. Everyone is familiar with the 12 signs of the Zodiac: Aries the Ram, Taurus the Bull, Gemini the Twins, Cancer the Crab, Leo the Lion, Virgo the Virgin, Libra the Scales, Scorpio the Scorpion, Sagittarius the Archer, Capricorn the Goat, Aquarius the Water Bearer and Pisces the Fish. Developers made all images animated. They move and change colors, especially when in a winning combination.

Betting options

You can play Lucky Stars with 9 pay-lines total. You will notice while playing that the lines are positioned in a different way than what is usual when it comes to slots. There are 5 reels, but the fifth reel contains only multipliers and no other symbols.

Below the reels you will find a few options that you can customize in order to determine your desired bet. You can choose to play with the number of pay-lines from 1 to 9. There are 5 coins total you can wager on one win line, with coin sizes ranging from $ 0.01 up to $ 0.50.

The lowest amount that can be staked per spin is $ 0.01, and with all options maxed out the highest bet you can play with is $ 22.50.

Special features

Lucky Stars is one of the most interesting installments coming from 1x2 Gaming, at least when it comes to structure and mechanics of the game. You will not find any free spins features, instead the gameplay is based mostly on juggling different kinds of multipliers.

All symbols hold the same value, and in addition to the Zodiac signs, there are Wild and Bonus symbols included on the reels. There are only 4 active reels throughout the game, and only these will have images appearing on them. Reel 5 contains only multipliers with values ranging from x1 up to x4, and one Bonus symbol. Many of the Zodiac signs also have added multipliers with the same values as those in the 5th reel.

Essentially, all you have to do to win is have two or more matching symbols land on one or more win lines determined by the pay-table. If one or more symbols making the winning combination comes with a certain multiplier, their value will be added together to calculate your prize.

The best outcome would be to have all 4 symbols with multipliers land in the first 4 reels, and also get a high value multiplier in the 5th reel to complete a high prize combination. Keep in mind that Wild symbols may also come with multipliers. The highest prize possible is x324 your win – that is 3x 3x 3x 3x 4x.

To activate the bonus game you only need one Bonus Star to land anywhere on the 5th reel. Choose one sign and you will be awarded with random bonus prize.

Our take on Lucky Stars

This is a very engaging game where almost every spin is a win. Maximum cash prize and base game wins are excellent when compared to the amounts you need to stake to spin the reels.
