How to Play the Lucky Angler Slot
The Lucky Angler slot is an icy, fishing themed win both ways slot, developed by NetEnt. It has 15 paylines across 5 reels, with bets starting at 30p per spin. With an underwater theme, we can see sea-creatures among the special symbols which can trigger both wilds and free spins in this sub-zero temperature slot game!
Set from a perspective which shows the fish swimming below the frozen-top lake while also catching a glimpse of the angler's hut in the distance, this is a unique design. It is great to look at, so let's see if it is just as great to play the Lucky Angler slot. Perhaps we will get a lucky catch for ourselves.
Cast your Line
All 15 paylines are encompassed within a bet of 30 credits. If it then up to you how much you wish to bet against these.
The coin value starts at 1p and goes up to 50p. You can use the green buttons on either side of the values to increase or decrease this amount. Whichever coin value you choose will be multiplied by the 30 credits to create your coin bet.
If you are happy with this, you can start fishing.
If, however, you would like to add some extra weight to your bet, you may like to increase the level of the bet. It should be automatically set to one but can go up to a maximum of 10.
The amount here will be multiplied by your coin bet to create your total bet, so make sure you’re happy with it before you hit spin. Your total bet will be displayed just below the green spin button.
Fishing for Wins
Wins are paid both ways in the Lucky Angler slot, which means that your matching symbols can start from either the furthest left or the furthest right reel. Match a minimum of three of a kind on a payline, and you will win, but the bigger payouts come from the five-symbol matches.
The red fish is the most valuable, with a maximum prize payout of 2000 times your coin bet for matching five-of-a-kind.
An orange smiling catfish with very human-looking teeth is the next in the rankings. Five of these smiley fish across a payline can award you up to 1500 times your coin bet!
Next up, the bluefish has a top payout of 1000 times the coin bet for landing the full five on a payline.
Amongst the fish, we have a beady-eyed lobster. Five lobsters across the reels can award you a huge 750 times your coin bet.
The last of high-value symbols, and perhaps the most inexplicable, is the boot with a creature popping its eyes out of the soles. While it wouldn’t make up three pairs, five boots on a payline can award you 700 times your line bet.
The Lucky Angler slot’s lower-value symbols are the card values from Ace to 10. Top payouts for these symbols range from 70 to 200 times your coin bet.
Frozen Features
We’ve got two underwater features here to help you reel in your catch.
Sticky Wild
As is the case in most slot games, the wild symbol can substitute for any of the standard symbols in order to create and extend winning lines. In the Lucky Angler slot, the wild symbol is a golden fish-shaped hook.
When a wild is part of a win, you will see it hooking up a fish and pulling it to the surface of the symbol. It will stay put on the reels, becoming a sticky wild.
So long as the symbol keeps creating wins. When no new wins are created, it will drop off.
Sticky Wilds in the Lucky Angler slot can appear on reels two and four in the main game.
Free Spins
The scatter symbol in the Lucky Angler slot is a trio of fish. Landing three of these symbols anywhere on the reels can trigger the free spins feature. The more scatters you land, the more of these free spins you will be awarded.
There is a maximum of 20 free spins up for grabs in one go.
During the free spins, sticky wilds can land on reels two, three and four.
Catch of the Day
Who knew that an underwater fishing game could be so entertaining? We never doubted NetEnt for a second!
With a backing soundtrack of flowing water and some funky effects as the reels land, this is an all-rounder. It’s visually great, fast-paced, light-hearted and has to top features.
Having the benefit of paylines which award wins both ways gives us a feeling of having more opportunities to win, we’re not restricted to just a one-directional payline!
The Return to Player (RTP) value of the Lucky Angler slot is 96.41%.
