Lock a Luck comes off looking pretty basic. It has funky music and the reels move nicely. On either side of the game play, it says 243 ways to win. This seems to be the big draw of the game. There are many combos that can occur in the game with the chance of getting x1,333 your bet.

There aren’t a lot of features in the game but what is available is generous. What may seem like a dull game can be quickly considered exciting when you look at the RTP, which is 96.37%.
There won’t be a long list of features when it comes to Lock a Luck. Symbols you’ll see include the classic Royals. You’ll also see the other classic symbols such as horseshoes, cherries, and clovers. It is the diamonds that is the symbol for a jackpot. In terms of cool symbols, you won’t see that here. It seems that they put most of the effort in Lock a Luck on the locking feature, which we’ll talk about later.

Prizes
Despite the games lack of loads of features, you can still actually get greater wins on Lock a Luck than other games. The most you can win is x+1,333 your bet, which equals $80,000. It is just medium volatility, making it a relatively low risk game. It doesn’t pay out all that often but you’re not going to see the massive ups and downs you might see in other games (in terms of how much is in your wallet in the game). The RTP is 96.37% so you can be sure that the game is going to pay out often enough that it’s worth playing.
Locked Reels
So this is the one big feature in the game you may find it worth playing for. There are none of the usual features you might be used to but what it does have is Locked Reels. For each round, two reels will have their symbols locked down. As the other reels spin and land, the game will show symbols that match in positions that get you winning. This ensures that you regularly get combinations that put money in your wallet. These locked reels may expand as well (up to five reels high).
This gives you the chance of getting a screen full of symbols that match. This is what can get you that big win of $80,000 if the symbols happen to be diamonds. Still, anytime all symbols take up the board, you’re going to get a good payback.
Pros
The medium volatility makes it a game with less risk and allows you to enjoy some nice little wins. It is easy to play and has a nice soundtrack. While it’s basic, the graphics were still thought out and executed nicely. The locked reels makes this game exciting when it makes an appearance.
Cons
All said and done, Lock a Luck isn’t an exciting game. If you enjoy the regular features that are usually in games like this, you may find yourself disappointed. It also doesn’t really pay out that massively.
