Lucky Ox Demo – Play Game for Freeby Pragmatic Play

Lucky Ox review

Theme and Style

Pragmatic Play is really upping its game when it comes to mobile-first slot games. Lucky Ox has been designed for play in portrait mode, so the game grid fills your entire screen.

The style is similar to what you might have seen before if you’ve played Asian-themed games. Join the cool ox character as he tries to get lucky, by landing matching symbols. And if luck is really on your side, you might just find yourself walking away with up to 5,000x your bet.

Visuals and Soundtrack

This Asian-themed game is set against a gentle backdrop of traditional temples, but if you’re playing on mobile (like most people), you won’t see much of that. The actual grid takes up the vast majority of the screen. At the top, there’s a friendly ox character, and the symbols to look for on the grid include fireworks, lucky red envelopes, and a green treasure chest.

The soundtrack has a traditionally Asian vibe, with the usual chimes and strings, but it’s a little more cheerful and upbeat than other slots, which fits well with the quirky animal theme.

Gameplay and Key Statistics

The gameplay on Lucky Ox is a little different from most other slot games. The majority of slots are built to be played on a desktop, but this one has been designed to fit a mobile screen. That’s why there are only three reels. Reels one and three contain three symbols each, while reel two has four symbols.

To trigger a win, you need to land three identical symbols on adjacent reels, on one of the 10 specified paylines.

You can set your stake by adjusting your number of coins, and coin value. The lowest possible spin value is $/€/£0.10, while the highest is $/€/£250 per go. Lucky Ox has a medium volatility, so wins tend to be pretty evenly spread.

Lucky Ox has a theoretical Return to Player percentage (RTP) of 96.55%, so over a long period of time, it’s likely to pay out a little better than average.

Bonus Gameplay and Special Features

The Wild symbol can appear on any reel, and it substitutes for all regular symbols (not the Money symbol), to complete winning combinations.

Whenever the Money symbol lands, it takes on a value of between 0.5x and 100x your total bet.

The Hold & Spin feature can randomly be triggered on any spin. When this happens, all Money symbols lock in place, and other symbols disappear. The round begins with three Respins, and every time a Money symbol lands, the Respins reset. Fill up the entire grid with Money symbols and you’ll bag the Grand jackpot of 2,000x your stake amount.

Conclusion

If you’re a mobile player and you’re looking for a slot made specifically for phone screens, then this game is a good option. If you prefer to play on a desktop, we probably wouldn’t recommend Lucky Ox, but we’d still advise having a go at other popular Pragmatic Play games like Big Bass Bonanza or The Dog House.
