Triple Lucky 8's Slots
Triple Lucky 8 Slots is a Betsoft slot, and this lucky game features lucky numbers and fruit symbols, very much paying tribute to the earliest days of slot games. The number 8 is considered lucky, especially in ancient China where it's considered the luckiest number of all. I'm not sure how 8 also became a lucky number in casino culture, but it's been used time and time again to represent fortune and prosperity, along with the number 7. This game is played on five reels and three rows, and features up to 25 total pay lines. This game is a medium volatility slot, and the return to player percentage of this game is slightly above average, and is 96.26%. Despite the classic appearance and theme of this game, it was actually released in 2023.
Theme and Basics
Betsoft is really taking players back to the earliest days of retro, Chinese inspired slots with the visuals. The backdrop is simplistic and features a deep red wallpaper with a subtle design. It contrasts well against the bold fruit symbols that are found throughout the game grid. At the bottom of the game grid you'll find a transparent control panel. You can use the control panel to spin or auto spin. You can also use their control panel to adjust your bet, using the + and - buttons. You can press the 'I' to pull up the information page or press the sound button to mute the game if you want. You can customize certain aspects of your gambling experience by pressing the settings button. Everything is laid out conveniently, and if you've played other Betsoft slots before it should be easy to grasp the mechanics of this slot. The minimum bet you can place on this slot machine is 0.10 per spin, while the maximum bet is $200.00 per spin. Obviously, this is a very wide betting range that could suit super high rollers who don't even like playing without betting several hundred of dollars. It's also a suitable betting range for your average player who might have a specific gambling budget they need to adhere to each month.
Symbols
The flaming triple 8 symbol is the wild symbol for this game. This wild 8 will substitute for other symbols to complete winning combinations! Three or more wilds anywhere will trigger something called the Wild Respins Mode. It'll award you 1 respin, and additional Wild Respins can be triggered during this mode. You can land up to five consecutive respins in a row. Wild symbols can also make an appearance on all reels. The top paying regular symbol is the ming vase, which awards 30.00 credits for a match of five. The gong symbol pays out 12.00 credits for five and the watermelon pays out six credits for five. The plum pays out 4.80 credits for five and the orange pays out 3.00 credits for five. The lemon pays out 1.20 credits for a match of five, and the cherry pays out 0.60 for five. The game pays from the left to the right.
Summary
Overall, Triple Lucky 8s slots is a stylish, one of a kind game incorporating the culture of China, retro slot machines and not so retro special features. This game harmoniously combines themes and visuals I wouldn't necessarily associate with each other, but it thematically looks iconic. While Triple Lucky 8s is lacking a free spins bonus round, the wild respin feature definitely makes up for it. This game is available to play in demo mode, and is mobile optimized! That means it's useable on smartphones, tablets and other devices. What isn't there to love about Triple Lucky 8s?
