Lucky Barrel Tavern Slot Review

Delira and excira! The craic is ninety! 🤔 (that’s “delighted and excited” and “we’re having a great time” for those of us who speak normal English.)

Yeah, so the Irish 🇮🇪 language is a strange thing. Take this for example: it doesn’t have direct words for “no” or “yes.” Instead, people will respond to the question itself.

Do you want to go? I want / I don’t want. 🤷‍♂️

And they also have a verb-subject-object sentence structure, so instead of saying “I eat food,” they’d say “Eat I food.” 🤣

There’s also no verb for “to have,” so folks wouldn’t say, “I have a dog,” but rather, “A dog is at me.” 🐶

What the actual.

This is Lucky Barrel Tavern slot from Belatra Games.

Gameplay

What do we have here? A splash page with some pointy-eared little bastards carrying barbeque equipment and ale. And the soundtrack is totally The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit or whatever. You get the drift.

When the main page opens, you’ll see that the festivities are well underway, with food cooking on the fire and sheep standing about nervously, watching and wondering if they will form part of the menu.

The grid is a 6 reel 5-row one, and on it you’ll find the various characters, some lobster, chicken, roast beef, fish, and bacon and eggs. Damn, these hobbits eat well. They must be making bank somehow!

The game works on a Scatter PaysWhen a certain number of Scatters land, that can result in a payout that’s independent of a game’s paylines. system and a CascadeOtherwise known as a Tumble, Avalanche, or whatever a studio sees fit to name it. The idea is the same, though; winning symbols get removed, and new ones take their place. This action could result in additional wins, in which case the action continues. feature sees the winning symbols explode.

What??? 🤯 Unbelievable.

Features

BIG SYMBOLS:

You’ll see oversized, identical symbols landing on the reels, which can be 2x2 or 3x3 in size. The large 2x Barrel and 3x barrel symbols multiply the Global Multiplier by a factor of 2 or 3, respectively.

MULTIPLIER SYMBOLS:

You’ll see multiplier symbols – with values of 2x to 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, or 250x – landing during the base game or Free Spins round.

These multiplier values will be added together and shown to the right of the grid, and after the spin, or when the Free Spins round ends, your winnings – displayed above the reels – will be bolstered by the multiplier value you’ve accumulated.

ACCUMULATIVE MULTIPLIER:

In the base game, and at the start of the Free Spins round, the Accumulative Multiplier is 1x. Its value will increase by 2x or 3x whenever a 2x or 3x barrel lands on the reels.

During Free Spins, any visible multipliers will be added to the Accumulative Multiplier at the end of the round, and this value will transfer across to the next Free Spins game.

FLYING BARREL:

Also during the base game and Free Spins round, a Flying Barrel could land and replace non-winning symbols with a multiplier symbol.

FREE SPINS:

Hit 4 or more Scatters to trigger 10 spins, and if you land an additional 3 or more Scatters during the round, you can add 5 to a maximum of 100 extra spins.

HAPPY HOUR:

This round happens when 6 Scatters land in the base game. Now, the initial Cumulative Multiplier goes from 2 to 10, big wins happen more regularly, and the max multiplier is 12,000x.

ANTE BET:

Increase your bet by 25% to score Free Spins twice as often.

BONUS BUY:

There are 3 options to choose from:

• Standard: Buy regular Free Spins for 100x (max multiplier of 5,000x)
• Happy Hour: Buy special Free Spins with more big wins for 600x (max multiplier of 12,000x)
• Mystery: Will you win a Standard or Happy Hour Free Spins round? Who knows, but you’ll need to play to find out

With the Mystery option, you’ll be presented with 3 wheels, each with a red and green portion of varying dimensions.

Your goal is to land on the green, and if you get this right you’ll clinch the Happy Hour Free Spins. If you land in the red, you’ll get the Standard version.

As for what you’ll pay, the amounts are 125x for the most difficult wheel, 200x for the medium one, and 350x for the easiest.

Performance

Everything went according to plan during testing.

Maximum Win

Betting starts at $0.20 and is capped at $20. The max multiplier is 20,000x, and the top prize is $400,000.

Conclusion

You’ll need to get your head around how this game works before jumping into Lucky Barrel Tavern slot, but hopefully, I’ve demystified things a little.

The best place to be is the Happy Hour Free Spins round, and getting there can be an adventure in itself if you opt for the Mystery Buy Bonus. And when those multipliers come on song… Mother of Begorrah, or whatever the Irish say.

I still can’t grasp the awesomeness of the volatility rate vs. potential payout. It’s astonishing. And the game is super entertaining, what with all the graphics and animations.

Booming’s answer to an Irish-themed game about barrels of beer would be Leprechaun’s Lucky Barrel slot. And god, I hate this theme.

Nonetheless, that game only offers a hundred grand as the top prize, despite a highly volatile math model so nah, I think I’ll pass.
