ABOUT PRESS YOUR LUCK SLOT GAME
This super popular American game show has seen several incarnations on television through the years and players can now take their shot at big bucks – and hopefully no whammies – in the slot version. Players will instantly recognize the up-tempo theme song as they check out the Press Your Luck Big Board from the show located above the reels. The studio serves as the backdrop and players really get the feel of being in a real game show.
On the slot reels, players will find symbols that are synonymous with winning prizes on the show – dollar signs, palm trees, question marks, and more. There are also three contestants that spin on the reels as well, and the player with a star on his T-shirt pays out the most among the common symbols, with a player earning 1,000 credits for five symbols, 150 for four symbols, and 30 for three.
The dreaded whammies also show up but can actually help you out when they show up on the reels, serving as the wild symbol and substituting for other symbols on the reels to complete more winning combinations. The “Press Your Luck” logo symbol serves as the game’s scatter to trigger the Big Board Bonus game. Give the game a spin and those big bucks may be heading your way soon.
BONUSES AND GAME FEATURES
This is Press Your Luck and these slot developers made a good move in focusing on what all fans of the game show will want to play – the Big Board. Here’s a look at what to expect.
Big Board Bonus – This is the ultimate goal for players – and can be quite a rush for fans of the game show. Land the “Press Your Luck” scatter symbols on reels one, three, or five to score at least five spins on the Big Board. A big red button will then appear on screen and you can stop your square on the BigBoard, hopefully finding some prizes instead of the whammies. Winnings will accumulate in the center of the Big Board.
Extra Spins – Just like in the game show, players have a shot at big prizes and extra spins along the way. The whammies also show up and mean a losing spin, but you won’t lose any prizes. Any free spins you win apply to the reels and player out after your play on the Big Board has concluded.
Not everyone gets a chance to appear on a game show, but the Press Your Luck slot may be the next best thing. Big bucks! No whammies!
HOW TO PLAY PRESS YOUR LUCK SLOT
Players will find the 3x5 reels at the bottom of the screen with the Big Board at the top. Adjust how much you want to bet per line at the bottom of the screen.
The spin button is located at the bottom center of the screen. Tap or click to get those reels in motion.
The reels will slow to a stop and register any winnings. If a player finds any “Press Your Luck” logo scatter symbols, the action will shift to the Big Board.
Players will click on the red button to stop the lit-up square from moving around the board. Players win whichever prize the square lands on.
Players earning extra spins will see those commence on the reels when the Big Board Bonus comes to a close.
After that, the game returns to normal play and you can once again determine how much to wager and spin the reels again.
SYMBOLS & PAYOUTS
Press Your Luck is an immersive game that should keep players interested. Here’s a look at some key symbols to watch for.
Key Symbols | Payouts |
|---|---|
Whammies – These are helpful on the reels (unlike in the TV show) and serve as the game’s wild symbol. But that changes during the Big Board Bonus. | These can substitute for other symbols to complete more winning combinations. However, these end your spin as a loser in the bonus game, but at least you won’t lose your prizes like on the game show. |
“Press Your Luck” logo – This is the game’s scatter symbol. | Look for them on the first, third, or fifth reel to trigger the Big Board Bonus, where you’ll have a chance to win even more with a minimum of at least five spins. |
Star T-shirt contestant – Highest payouts among the common symbols. | Pays 1,000 credits for five symbols, 150 for four, and 30 for three. |
PRO AND CONS
PROS – This is a great rendition of the original game show, with some excellent sound effects and graphics. The Big Board makes players feel like they are taking part in the real thing. In general, expect plenty of fun.
CONS – One additional bonus feature might have been nice, but not necessarily a must either. The Big Board is what this game is about.
