Lucky Apocalypse Review

Yggdrasil Gaming has chosen to miss out on St Patrick's Day by a couple of weeks with their latest Irish slot release that goes by the name of Lucky Apocalypse. Strange timing on their part but what's even stranger is the storyline which depicts a murderous leprechaun and various souls which are hell-bound. It's an odd concept and an odd grid slot, so get over it!

Gameplay & Features

Trying not to get distracted by the strange theme is quite difficult I have to admit. The little ginger chap spinning his gun at the top of the grid does draw your eye away from the symbols! However, if you centre your gaze on the 6x5 grid, you'll notice that wins land in a strange format. This is a scatter pays slot and in this game, it means that you must land 8 matching symbols anywhere on the grid to pick up a win.

The low payers are worth up to 2.50x and the high payers can deliver up to 25x. These are the figures for a group of 15 matching symbols. The most frequently seen bunch is 8 or 9 matching symbols and the best you can get for these is up to 6x. 

Wild symbols come in the shape of a hand grenade, because why not, and these will substitute for all other regular payers. 

Each time you land a win, the winning symbols disappear and new ones populate the grid. This is considered a winning sequence and if you match another win, the sequence continues and you add points to the Progress Bar. 

The Progress Bar is important as not only will it add modifiers to your base game, but it can also trigger the bonus round. 

After four consecutive wins, you'll see a random Gigablox appear on the grid. This is a large symbol made up of individual symbols. The largest Gigablox is 4x4. After 6 wins, the game delivers up to four wild symbols and after the 9th win, you play free spins. 

Bonus Game 

Completing the Progress Bar isn't the only way to trigger your free spins bonus – 4 or more scatter symbols will also do the trick. You get 8 free spins and with each spin, you're guaranteed to see one of those famous Gigablox. 

The main attraction, apart from the large symbols, is the increasing multiplier which grows after each consecutive win. If you see enough winning sequences joined together, you'll have 50x applied to all your wins. 

Outside the UK, players can enter the free spins game straight away by paying 100x the bet amount.

Progress Bar

Each time you land a win, you build up points along the progress bar. After 4 wins, a giant Gigablox arrives and after 6, you get up to 4 wild symbols. The best of the bunch occurs after 9 consecutive wins – you trigger the free spins bonus.

Free Spins

Trigger this game via the Progress Bar or by landing 4 scatter symbols and you'll get 8 free spins and guaranteed Gigablox. The Progress Bar now helps you grow your multiplier levels up to 50x.

Win Potential

You might think that landing 8 matching symbols is quite tricky but despite the high volatility, it happens quite often in this game – at least that was my experience. Most of the payouts will be fairly low and won't always exceed your bet amount but they go some way towards keeping your balance protected as you wait to hit the bonus game. 

I managed to trigger the free spins by landing 4 scatter symbols after just a handful of spins and thanks to the Gigablocks, the multipliers began to build quite quickly. It's a shame that they reset between spins but regardless I still managed a 55x win

The top payout of 6,250x might be achievable if the luck of the Irish, Chinese dragons, Lady Luck, the stars and a few horseshoes all align at the right moment.

Design

I haven’t seen an Irish slot this messed up since last year when Shamrock Saints appeared on our screens. Whilst waiting for the end of the world, you get to watch an angry little man smoke a cigar and threaten you with a gun and several of the symbols look like souls that have been lost to the underworld. 

As you move into the bonus game, you head inside the bar and the music suddenly turns into a heavy thrash riff. The odd comment from our main character might offend some of our Irish readers and I'll let you decide how authentic you think his accent is.

Our Verdict

I can always get on board with a weird creation that threatens the status quo! In terms of gameplay, you've got a reasonably fun base game with some decent modifiers but it's all going to depend on how often the wins land as to how much joy the Gigablox and wilds bring you. The free spins bonus is pretty hectic and can be quite rewarding at the same time, so it seems like a fairly well-rounded game – if not a bit nuts.
