Doggone Lucky - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Doggone Lucky is a dog-themed slots game from the team at Aspect Gaming. It is a colourful and fun slot with straightforward and fast gameplay. It is easy enough for even complete novices to pick up and despite the relatively high number of dead spins, it generally remains entertaining. The real selling point is the free spins round, which is triggered by landing three scatters on the reels of the base game. During the free spins, you play with the same symbols but some will be special split/double symbols to increase your win potential.

All in all, this is a fun slot and you might be tempted to hunt down other Aspect Gaming slot demos after seeing what this game has to offer.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack of Doggone Lucky

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the theme of this slot is dogs! The game's main character - and the highest paying symbol - is a cute chihuahua. The lower paying picture symbols are also dog-related, with collars and dog carriers featuring. The game's lowest paying symbols are the playing cards.

The game has a fun appearance, with a lilac background covered in small pawprints. The graphics are not anything to write home about, but this slot is not really about cutting-edge graphics.

When it comes to the game's soundtrack, there is no music in the base game; instead, it is just sound effects. You will hear the reels slotting into position during a spin and will get a little jingle after every win. Perhaps this slot might benefit from a little more in terms of music. If you enjoy this slot, you might also like Puppy Payday slot.

Doggone Lucky RTP & volatility

The slot's RTP (return to player) is 94.01 per cent. With an industry average of 96 per cent, this is definitely towards the lower end of the spectrum. Many serious online slots players will only play slots offering upwards of 96 per cent; however, as each spin is completely random, decent wins are still perfectly possible in this game. The volatility of Doggone Lucky is medium, which generally means you can expect to win fairly often. Most payouts will be small, but there is still the potential for large wins. During our playing sessions, we did find a lot of dead spins; however, this never became an issue, as wins always appeared before we got fed up.

How to play Doggone Lucky

Doggone Lucky is very easy to play, making it perfect for new online gamers. This is a fixed payline slot with a total of 30 lines, meaning you will always be betting on all 30 lines every time you spin the reels; therefore, your bet will always be a multiple of 30.

Here are some step-by-step instructions in case you need a little help.

1. Launch the game and wait for the intro screens to finish.

2. Locate the bet per line display at the bottom of the screen.

3. Use the arrows to change your bet per line. You will always be betting on all 30 paylines, so any bet will be a multiple of 30. When you click on the bet amount, a pop-up window will appear. Choose the bet size you want and the amount in the total bet display will change accordingly.

4. When you are happy with your total bet size, you are ready to play.

5. Hit the spin button and you are off!

If you want to use the autospin feature, click the autospin button. This is located under the regular spin button. A pop-up window will invite you to adjust the settings and choose how many spins you want to set up. You can halt the autospin function at any point.
