The proverbial Asian hospitality is based on kindness and giving - which is what this game is all about. Atomic Slot Lab, a Bragg Gaming's in-house studio, captured its essence perfectly with this bubbly new game that uplifts players' spirits and entertains them with unique mechanics that keeps them on the edges of their seats. In Happy Lucky, all that glitters is gold indeed!
Happy Lucky is, in this sense, a game that truly keeps on giving, often literally so. And not just with cash prizes, there's a lot of value in the general look&feel of the game that establishes a cheerful atmosphere and significantly uplifts a player's mood.
This is in part thanks to amusing animations of the main character of the game, the Happy Emperor, ruler of a glorious empire in which money grows on trees. He is more than glad to share his good fortune(s) with the players, rejoicing over their wins and creating strong positive undertones to what would normally be "just a slot game". Well, this one, once you get to make a few spins in it, isn't "just that" at all.
Replicating Reels
The first thing to get happy about in this medium volatility game with 25 paylines and max multiplier of 5430x is a fairly decent 28,71% hit rate that provides a relatively dependable stream of hits to keep the players happy - and eventually lucky, too. The second one would be the Replicating Reels feature. As we all know, money attracts more money and the same principle applies to luck, too. Good luck in this game can snowball very quickly with reels that replicate across the grid. Landing a full stack of identical high-paying symbols on the first reel replicates that reel two to five times. This can lead to anywhere from three to five fully stacked reels of identical symbols - not too shabby for a simple and pretty ordinary game event! However, this is just the start of all that's good about the game: we're just scratching the surface here.
Happy Lucky feature with Jackpots
The principal money maker in this game is quite the opposite of the replicating reels feature which we can find in other videoslots as well. Happy Lucky shines with its unique main feature that never fails to deliver a sense of great things ahead and that sweet sweet expectation of great wins. As is the case with many other games created by the seasoned slotsmiths at Atomic Slot Lab, the main feature can be bought with 100x your current bet. Normally it's triggered by landing 6 Golden Scatters - or, in this game, this means 6 worth of Scatters since they come in two versions: Single and Double Scatters. This means that three Double ones are enough to trigger the feature, which then replaces the 5x3 base game grid with four 5x3 grids, each tied to one of the four Jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major and Grand.
All Scatters that triggered the feature get distributed among the 4 grids to occupy positions on them which helps you land Jackpots. The player starts with 8 respins and all positions become independent reels on which 3 different types of Bonus Symbols can appear: random instant Cash Rewards, Dragon Multipliers that multiply a random previously landed cash reward value by 2, 5, 10 or 25, and Extra Spins. The endgame here is about filling all positions on a grid - or all four of them! - with Bonus Symbols since this is how you win the corresponding Jackpot.
Final impressions
The creators of the game provided an authentic musical backdrop for the game that works really well in combination with extremely pleasing animations, be it the Happy Emperor cheering on your wins or the Golden Dragon delivering win multipliers. On top of that, there is a certain appeal in watching the Tree of Money, which is the Wild symbol, swaying and shaking about as if it's coin harvesting time.
The game is undeniably a mood enhancer by itself: even if struck by bad luck, any player will be rewarded with a rousing rush of happy hormones; and thus veritably lives up to its name. And sometimes, if you're happy, that's all the luck you need. However, if you happen to be lucky as well, the game will definitely make you even happier. Any way your game session goes, it's always a win-win happy-lucky situation. Or, as the Happy Emperor would say: "Yay!"
