Several of Novomatic's Gaminator slots are available to play here at Games & Fruit Machines, among them the
Lucky Lady's Charm slot (Deluxe version above), the very popular
Book Of Ra, the gradually disappearing Columbus slot
and Sizzling Hot Deluxe, all of which appear on their "Super V+ Gaminator" machines in
terrestrial casinos around the UK and Europe.
Lucky Lady's Charm bears similarities in gameplay to both Egyptian Experience and one of my
own favourites, the volatile Dolphins Pearl Deluxe. In fact, Lucky Lady's Charm
is probably even more volatile as those games but the online version dis have a slightly better RTP of a shade over 97%
last time I checked. The free spins bonus is 15 at 3x, triggered by 3 or more scatters in view.
Retriggers are relatively common as more scatter symbols are added to the reels during the free
spin bonus.
In pretty much all respects, the online version of the Lucky Ladys Charm slot machine is identical
to the version you find in land based casinos but, as with all online slots, it has a better
expected return (in the region of 97%). Being volatile means that all the big wins generally
come from the free spin bonus rounds and it's hard to walk away with a profit unless these occur.
No better example of that than in Novomatic's Katana slot if you think this
one's bad!
If you are familiar with the Gaminator slots then you will instantly recognise Lucky Lady's Charm -
the sounds and graphic style of Novomatic games retain an old-skool but nonetheless appealing feel to them,
unlike traditional UK-oriented slot games such as Rainbow Riches.
The most popular Novomatic slot in the UK is probably Reel King, followed
closely by the aforementioned Book Of Ra.
Where Lucky Lady's Charm is more Vegas than Fruity, another Novomatic game,
Sizzling Hot Deluxe, has the same sounds and familiar
Novomatic feel but is more reminiscent of the fruit machine in symbology. It's part of Novomatic's
Hot Slots series and is very popular in Eastern and Cnetral European land-based casinos.
The Novomatic slots .org website has a wealth of
information on all the Novoline slots that are currently avaialble to play online, along with videos
and details of who has them or the Lucky Lady's Charm slots site goes into more detail on the game
and also features a video of the free spins bonus in action.
