Lucky 3 Penguins Introduction
Lucky 3 Penguins is a 5 reel, 20 payline pokie for online play from Casino Technology. This snowy-themed pokie is very simple and cartoonish, with players invited to head down to the South Pole to meet all the wildlife splashing about in the sea and on the snow. With the northern lights flickering about in the background and the twinkly little theme tune playing on repeat, this is a captivating and magical experience all round.
The Symbols
Taking its lead from a number of the other free online pokies, Lucky 3 Penguins follows the traditional casino route of mixing up playing card symbols with their own themed symbols. In this game, the symbols from J to A show up as big, inflated figures and represent the lower value combinations. The crabs, fish and other shellfish all represent the higher value symbols.
Playing and Winning
This is one of those games which asks players to select their denomination before entering, and therefore more of the gaming area is freed up once you’re in the game. Players need to make combinations of 3, 4 or 5 in a row to win great cash prizes. The symbol everyone wants to see is the seal. Land 5 of these to get the maximum possible prize of $30,000.
You can make this combination or any of the combinations using one or more of the wild cards, which are 3 different penguins, hence the Lucky 3 Penguins name. The wilds only appear on reels 2, 3 and 5, so three is the total number you’ll ever land and the game will automatically tell you which combination you’ve made based on the highest pay out.
If you manage to get the first two wilds in the same line, players will also be entered into the free spin bonus round. In this game, whatever your stake and payline selections were when you landed on the prize, they will be repeated for 15 spins. Lucky 3 Penguins also includes a gamble feature. Small wins can be maxed in this double-up game of cards against the dealer.
Simply predict the colour of the dealer’s card before they turn it over to win double your bet. There is also a half gamble option for those who like a flutter but still want to hold on to a little something.
Overall
This is a catchy and enjoyable little pokie game which definitely falls on the basic end of the spectrum. The producers describe the game as a ‘soft’ game designed for all day play with a shot more excitement than the lowest setting. It features free games, stacked symbols and expanded wilds to keep players entertained while the reels are spinning.
The music is lively, but some players might want to hit mute and just listen to the traditional plinking sound effects of the pokie reels instead. All round, a cosy little game coming to you straight from the Poles.
