Slot Overview: Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe by Novomatic

Novomatic’s Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe has enjoyed a renaissance thanks to developer’s impressive work, and it’s a divisive title between pro-players and sometimes-players alike.

This is a fair and comprehensive review of the slot and its mechanics, features and our opinion as to how it holds up in an overcrowded market place.

We are going to take a little closer look, providing some valuable information, which is ideal for both the novice and the veteran slot player.

Our journey is on a hands-on level as we got to test out the game extensively to provide you with a close up look at what to expect.

This isn’t regurgitating specs, this is sharing a real player experience with you.

Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe Details, RTP, Payout & Volatility

The heart of any slot review is knowing its underlining numbers.

Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe returns an RTP (Return to Player) of 95.13%, which if we’re honest is a little low down these days where slots tend to pass the 96% rate as a rule. Translated this means that the slot is programmed to return $95.13 for every $100 wagered in the long-term. It is a statistical average, and you should not take it as a guarantee for any given gaming session.

The slot machine is also very volatile. That is to say, wins may not come as fast or as furious, but when they do hit, they tend to be larger. This feature is better suited for players that like the adrenaline of chasing possible high wins and can withstand a fair share of dead spins.

The maximum win from Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe is 95.13% and this is also calculated into the maximum win that can be won from a single spin, or from the bonus game as a total from all spins, divided by any bet amount.

It’s worth noting that the bet range in Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe is very flexible and usually sits between $0.10 and $500. This range is accessible to casual players who like to play with smaller fees, as well as to high-rollers looking for some wild thrills.

The game features a traditional 5x3 reel layout and all ways pays, adding more excitement and action to the gameplay.

Theme, Audio & Symbols

In addition, the all ways pays format (as opposed to standard paylines) means that matching symbols can land anywhere across the reels to make a winning combination, as long as they are found on adjacent reels, beginning from the leftmost reel.

This leads to even more potential wins than the amount that is available for fixed paylines.

This configuration really ramps up the possibility of multiple wins on one spin, as long as the matching symbols fall into place across the reels.

It is important to know between RTP and volatility.

A lower RTP with high volatility means you riskier game where you need patience and a decent bankroll.

If they are looking for something with smaller and more consistent wins they may not find this slot as exciting.

Bonus Features

On the visual side, Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe has a luck and fortune theme.

You will meet horseshoes, ladybugs, four-leaf clovers and, of course, the Lucky Lady herself, who is the wild symbol.

The look and feel is bright and a little old school, much like traditional slot machines.

A screen shot with wild symbol and 4 leaf clover would look fabulous and go with the theme of the game.

Its sound is also vintage, with basic chimes and cheers for wins.

The sound effects also get the job done but are not as captivating as the features found in newer slots.

It’s the sound of set-piece-designers not drawing attention to themselves, doing workman-like effects that successfully sound good but don’t add a jot to the game-play.

The animations are nothing special: you see symbols light up and flash when they create winning combinations.

It’s not super detailed, but there is enough to express the action on the reels.

Mobile Experience

The symbol design blends playing card values (9, 10, J, Q, K, A) with talismans of good fortune.

The lucky charm symbols are visually appealing and represent higher winnings.

The color palette, featuring pinks and purples, reinforces the game's stereotypically feminine design.

The visuals are decent but simple, which some find charmingly nostalgic, while others may find them lacking in modern, 3D graphics.

A visual update would benefit the game, though it doesn't require an extravagant budget.

Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe prioritizes gameplay and bonuses over visuals and sound.

The theme is well-developed, but it lacks the polish expected of a cutting-edge online slot.

Pros & Cons

The main extra in Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe, is the free spins round.

You’ll activate this when you land 3 or more of the scatter (the crystal ball) anywhere in view.

When this occur, you are given 15 free spins but those wins during the free spins are all multiplied by 3.

This 3x win multiplier can help rack up those winnings and turning a profit in the bonus round which is more or less the way to the bigger payouts in this game.

In my test runs, I noticed that I triggered the bonus game about every 100-150 spins which is kind of what you’re to expect from a high variance slot.

The thrill to set off the free spins is certainly one of the best thing about this one.

A clip providing a demo of the free spins (ideally showing some wins) would be a very welcome addition to this part of the review.

Our Verdict

Unlike most other games, the free spins feature is great in Elvis the King Lives slots game, and that is due to the five features that are awarded, which can be re-triggered.

Should you hit another three or more scatters while spinning for free, you’ll be given an additional 15 free spins. This can trigger a cascade of free spins and multiplied wins that could be worth their weight in gold.

There is also an interesting feature to the game, which is the Lucky Lady symbol. As a wild, it will replace all symbols except for the scatter.

Then, during all pay outs, if the Lucky Lady symbol makes up a winning combination, the win will be doubled! In turn, this creates even more potential for more base game winnings.

For me, I discovered that the wild (Lucky Lady) symbol landed quite often, and it added more winning combinations.

Play Responsibly

The risk game is yet another of the features of Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe.

Gamble: You can gamble your prize at the end of any winning spin by guessing the colour of a face down card, red or black.

If you guess right, the money from the current hand is doubled, while an incorrect guess loses it.

This brings an element of added risk/reward to the game, which may appeal to those who like to roll the dice.

That said, the gamble feature is highly volatile and it is also very easy to lose all of your winnings if you get a bit too carried away.

I usually also stay out of the gamble feature, as the odds are against the player, by the time long time comes around.

In other words, it’s a straight up 50/50 proposition, but the possibility of losing the spoils of your victory makes it riskier than that.
