Lucksome first appeared in 2021 as a part of this move and is based in Malta, although it does employ staff in the UK. Although a relatively new studio, the team involved has decades of experience in the world of game design across land-based machines, the online market and social casinos. Click here to read more.
It was something of a coup to land Bryan Upton, former Director of Games at NetEnt, to head the new start-up. He not only brought years of experience but also a defined strategy for operations. His stated aim is to give players a wider range of experiences, more action and importantly more information on the site to allow players to make informed decisions before they play. This is important since it means players can choose games and bonuses that suit their risk preference.
As the company says, they produce “Games to Treasure”!
Games
We have spoken about the company, so now let’s take a look at some of the games they are offering to the discerning player.
Divine Links
This was the debut slot from Lucksome, setting the bar for what was to come. It is played on a 5x3 reel set with 20 pay lines. The game has an RTP of 95.99% and displays medium variance. With a theme rooted in Greek mythology, it has the Lux Reels feature, which can be triggered in the main game and free games. With multiplying factors and an extra free spins trigger, players also get an enhanced chance to form winning lines. Try Divine Links in demo mode here.
Bon Bomb Luxpots
This online slot has an RTP of 96.20% and displays medium variance. There are six reels with between two and seven symbols on each one, meaning a differing number of pay lines on each spin up to a maximum 117649. The game benefits from both the Luxpots Prize Ladder and Megaways mechanics as well as free spins and multipliers.
Voodoo Temple
A recent addition to the company’s portfolio, Voodoo Temple has an RTP of 96.50% and is a high-volatility slot. There are 243 pay lines on the 5x3 reel set. The high priestess of the game acts as a wild and triggers multipliers. A shadow mode is activated randomly with increased multipliers available in five spins. In free games players can choose volatility settings.
Way of the Tiger
This high-variance game is attracting a lot of attention for both its graphics and features. It has a 5x4 layout which generates 40 bet ways paying left to right. The RTP is an above industry average of 96.50%. Players can enjoy sticky multipliers on the reels, which upgrade after a losing spin. Bonus symbols trigger free games, during which players can adjust volatility to dictate how multipliers grow in this phase.
Joker Maxima
Joker Maxima was the second game produced by Lucksome and was a complete change from Divine Links. There are just 10 pay lines in this game, generated from a 5x3 reel layout. The variance of the game is high, and the RTP is an above industry average of 96.11%. There is a wild symbol with multipliers and free spins triggered by three bonus symbols. Before playing this phase, players get to choose the volatility level, which in turn dictates the kind of multipliers on offer.
