Lucky Koi

Lucky Koi may just be our favorite title in the Chinese-themed genre of slot machines. Developed by Microgaming, it features a fun bonus, generous free spins, and an absolutely gorgeous look that made us want to never stop playing!

The game has five reels and three rows in a floating grid – and this time, we mean that literally, as it's set in a koi pond and the background are the stones at the bottom of the pond. There are 25 pay lines, which you'll see listed along the sides, but their color palette is so lovely you won't mind them being visible all the time.

Icons include a dragonfly, a turtle and a frog, each on their own lily pads; plus a lotus flower, a folding hand fan, lucky gold coins tied together with red string, two koi swimming around a lotus flower, and silver and gold lucky charms. Far from being cartoonish, everything is designed to feel like a summer day in the Chinese countryside.

The Lucky Koi game logo or the WILD lotus flower is the wild symbol, which means it can substitute for any icon you need to make a win except for the scatter. Wilds can pay out as much as 125,000 coins!

The scatter is a beautiful garden setting. Get at least three and you'll get to choose between bonus rounds. If you choose the first you'll win from 10 to 30 free spins with a five times multiplier. Chose the second and you'll be in a pick-me game where you choose between three and six koi to see which cash prizes you've won. You can be awarded additional picks as well to win even more.
