Asian-themed slots appear to be flavour of the month at the moment. Following on from the launch of Dice and Fire from Crystal Spin Casino comes the latest offering from developer Microgaming, Lucky Koi.The 25-payline slot sends players to 'the tranquil and serene Far East' where they're given the chance to win big with scatters, wild pays and free spins. The Lucky Koi of the slot's name acts as the wild giving players the chance to build winning combinations by substituting for other symbols. A bonus choice is triggered by three, four or five stone lantern scatter symbols with players being given a choice between the free spins feature and the Koi Bonus. A random bonus of between 10 and 30 free spins with a multiplier of up to 5x is on offer if the player picks the free spins feature. Players preferring to try their luck with a Koi Bonus will embark on an interactive fishing trip at the Koi pond. Armed with a bamboo fishing pole, the player is given between three and six opportunities to catch a Nishikigoi fish, which can earn them big rewards. “Lucky Koi is a brilliant new game to bring in the New Year with,” said Mike Hebden, Head of Casino at Microgaming. “The slot’s aesthetic appeal combined with its rewarding features will make it very popular among online players. Lucky Koi is the first of many new and exciting additions to Microgaming’s casino games portfolio for 2014 – there’s plenty more to look forward to in the coming months.”
