Big Time Gaming is known for its innovative slot games with unique gameplay. Their upcoming release, another title in their collection, is expected to impress players and offer an exciting gaming experience. Despite their reputation for creating games with new engines like Megaclusters and Megaquads, Big Time Gaming has included classic fruit-themed slots in their portfolio, which makes the release of another such game, with revamped gameplay, inevitable.
Lucky Streak Mk2, the sequel to the popular old school fruit-themed slot, Lucky Streak, has maintained the essence of the original game’s DNA, without any drastic changes to the gameplay or the game’s visual appeal. The only significant change in this sequel is in the math model, particularly the Return to Player (RTP) value, which has been increased significantly to 96.32% from the industry average of 96%. The game’s volatility has also been adjusted to medium-high from medium, making winning slightly more challenging.
The betting range has been expanded, allowing players to set bets from $0.4 to $40 per spin, catering to both high-rollers and less risky players. The maximum payout has also doubled, allowing for a potential win of $400,000 on a single spin. The jackpot remains the same as the first Lucky Streak, with a winning potential of 10,000 times the bet.
Although the design remains similar to the original game, reminiscent of a classic fruit slot machine, the game interface has been reimagined, ensuring a more immersive gaming experience. The game features seven regular symbols, including various fruits, bells and bars, and a Wild symbol represented by a horseshoe. Winning requires at least three similar symbols on a line, with the highest rewards for landing five-of-a-kind combos.
Lucky Streak Mk2 offers two unique features, identical to those in the original game — a multiplier trail and the Cash Stoppa feature. The former awards instant cash prizes, while the latter allows players to accumulate multipliers. The bonus game can potentially award up to 500 times the total bet or 10,000 times the bet per line.
The central feature of the game, the Lucky Streak feature, is activated by landing three or more Scatters during the base game. Players can also win Scatter pays by landing at least two Scatters. The number of Free Spins is determined by a bonus wheel and can be extended by landing more Scatters during the bonus game.
Despite its exceptional design and exciting features, Lucky Streak Mk2 is identical to its predecessor, barring the changes in the math model. The potential for winning remains the same, and the only way to hit the jackpot is through the Cash Stoppa feature, which is a letdown. However, the frequent triggering of this feature can be a draw for players.
In conclusion, Big Time Gaming’s upcoming game is expected to be more than just a remake of their classic slot. Given the company’s history of introducing innovative mechanics like Megaways, it will be interesting to see what they have in store for their next release.
