Play Lucky 88 slots online free

The number 8 stands for good luck and auspicious events according to Chinese philosophy. You will be amazed to know that the Beijing Olympics of 2008 opened on 08/08/08 at 8 pm China time! That is why this Oriental themed Lucky 88 brought to you by Aristocrat has adopted this number in its name. They have taken the analogy further by giving you the opportunity of an 88x multiplier as well.

You will love the look and feel of this game which is replete with Chinese imagery. But the icons chosen for symbols in the Lucky 88 game are much better than those you are used to seeing in China-themed slots at casinos online. There are three rows in this 5-reel and 25-payline slot. Don’t expect a full suite of background music on this one, but once in a while, a few soothing tones of Chinese tunes do come in. The Lucky 88 might not offer very huge jackpots but it has enough opportunities for you to win good money. You will find very attractive visuals on Lucky 88 Slot accompanied by attractive returns. Let us look at the gameplay features.

Main Features of Lucky 88 Slot

Each Chinese symbol is well etched out and gives you the feel of being in a martial arts film. These are the ones you are likely to encounter:

• Card values 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace
• Lion
• Pagoda
• Lantern
• Crane
• Swan
• Golden monument
• Golden conical tower

The man with the moustache is actually a Chinese emperor with a Fu Manchu moustache, and this symbol acts as the wild. It can substitute for all other symbols except for the scatter. The wild also comes with a series of multipliers starting from 2x and going right up to 88x. The Chinese Lantern symbol is the scatter when you play Lucky 88 casino slot online.

Some Simple Winning Strategies

When you play Lucky 88 for real money the 88x multiplier is a huge attraction. The gambling strategy or tips which you can use are not numerous as the gameplay is very simple. Take care not to bet too low amounts which will make the 88 seem smaller than it is, or bet too high to make the bonus opportunity too far away. In order to get the betting amounts just right, you can try the Lucky 88 free version before you begin to wager real money.

The Final Word

The RTP of 97% won’t make you feel the absence of a hefty jackpot in the Lucky 88 slot. The fun theme of Chinese martial arts will keep you hooked for hours, and the numerous bonus options will keep filling up your pockets with wins. What`s more, no cheats ever take place here. Overall, we would recommend this slot by Aristocrat.
