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

Lucky Waterfalls Slot Review

Mermaids are elusive creatures at the best of times, let alone when they’re hiding behind a majestic Waterfalls of 5 reels. You’re the explorer searching for this secret cave, and the 20 paylines and multiple bonus features that can be found within, if you’re lucky. It’s very different in tone to the Fat Rabbit slot despite the similar RTP and variance.

At the Bottom of the Waterfalls

Waterfalls are one of those natural features that can inspire awe in anyone. They’re just a perfect combination of beauty and drama, making them the ideal subject for a video slot. Admittedly, the Lucky Waterfalls slot doesn’t exactly show you the tumbling cascades themselves, at least in the base game. It may even seem a bit muted in its graphics. 

Instead, it takes you down and back into the secret cave hiding behind the water, which may make some players wonder where exactly is the fall? Well, for that, you’ll have to find some extended wilds.

In the Hidden Cave

Luckily, the setting we do find ourselves in is a captivating one. The reels are wrapped safely amidst the rocky walls of the cave, their translucent nature allowing you glimpses of the sky and trees outside (this is a tropical land) even as the vivid blue water continues below. Even the card symbols have a watery tone, sitting alongside fish, ducks and most intriguing of all, a beautiful mermaid. The music, while bouncy, isn’t so obviously linked to the theme.

Lucky Waterfalls RTP and Variance

What sort of RTP do we normally recommend when choosing modern slots? 96% or more. What is the RTP of the Lucky Waterfalls slot? 96.25%. No promises, but that’s a good starting point.

One reason we always recommend demo play for new slots is that they can be very unpredictable, even with a good RTP and variance. Even in the Lucky Waterfalls slot, where the variance is balanced at medium, suggesting wins are reasonable in size and frequency, demo mode is important so you can get to know the slot.

How to Play Lucky Waterfalls

Shall we dive right in? (Pardon the pun).

1. This is a fairly standard format for the base game in a Big Pot Gaming free online slot, starting with the menu button that leads to settings, game history and game rules.
2. It’s followed by the info button, which is where you go to find out the win multiplier and payout potential of every symbol.
3. You should have had a budget in mind before you loaded, and that’s what you should consider before making a bet using the stack of coins button.
4. Now you can play, whether by hitting the spin button or setting up continuous spins though autoplay. What’s going to be more fun for you?
5. Also part of your budget is the setting of limits, the points at which you can walk away relatively happy and without chasing losses. However you play, remember those limits and stick to them.
6. Stay responsible, stay in control, and have fun.

How to Win at Lucky Waterfalls

There's nothing particularly surprising here. Most slots involve matching winning symbols from left to right, and the Lucky Waterfalls slot is no exception. It’s even played on a familiar 5-reel format, and with 20 paylines, it’s not too confusing trying to determine where your winning symbols would fall. Just make sure there are at least 3 symbols in your combination. 

Top Symbols

Your total win will depend on a combination of your bet and the values on the paytable. As in many slots, the card symbols are the lowest-paying icons, while the themed symbols are worth more. That does up to the top regular symbol of the pearl, with a win multiplier of x20. Of course, then there are the scatter symbol and the wild symbol, which can pay in addition to triggering the Lucky Waterfalls bonus features. The max win is x400.

Bet Range

There is a bet range of between 0.2 and 200 in the Lucky Waterfalls slot.

Lucky Waterfalls Bonuses

We won’t say we’ll play slots with a bad base game just because they have amazing bonuses, but having an impressive set of features can certainly make any set of reels more attractive. That includes in Lucky Waterfalls, which doesn’t just have a free spins round, but extended, fixed wilds in those free spins.

Free Spins

Most slots with a free spins round require you to find a bonus scatter symbol at least three times, and Lucky Waterfalls is no exception:

• 3 scatters = 8 free spins
• 4 scatters = 15 free spins
• 5 scatters = 30 free spins

Extended Fixed Wilds

Other slots may call them expanded sticky wilds, but you get the general idea. During free spins, the Waterfalls wild symbol doesn’t just sit in one position for one turn and then disappear again every time you spin. Instead, it’s released, forming a Waterfalls down the entire reel that will remain in place until the free spins feature finishes.

Lucky Waterfalls Review - Our Verdict

We’ve tried to use our Lucky Waterfalls slot review to sum up the good and the bad of this slot, and we definitely think that the good side wins. The purpose of the title may not be immediately apparent when you enter the cave setting, but we love watching the Waterfalls burst free during the free spins round. It’s an intriguing slot where you need to play for yourself to really experience all it has to offer.
