As the Year of the Rat begins in the Chinese calendar, RTG is launching a slot machine which is dedicated to it. The name of the game is Lucky Rat, and it’s a slot machine with a very high RTP, with classic Chinese graphics and good enough top prizes.
Played on 5 reels, Lucky Rat has 3-4-5-4-3 symbols on them, along with 720 ways to win. Those will give you just as many opportunities to get paid, especially since they do that both ways. Up to $330,000 can be paid by the game, which might not seem like a lot (1,320x the stake), but it’s actually very good for a low volatility slot like this one. Even better, the RTP is at a very high level, of 97.50%. The list of features implemented in this game includes the Lucky Rat Wild, Firecrackers scatters and Coins, along with free spins.
You get to play Lucky Rat with 50 coins in the wager, covering 720 ways to win. You select the total bet, and automatically the line bet changes. The range you can work with is between $2.50 and $250, with up to $5 coins possible.
As for the rewards that Lucky Rat will offer, those will go as high as 1,320x the stake per paid spin. For the wagers available here, it means up to $330,000 cash as a prize.
I enjoyed the game’s low volatility, which works rather nicely with the high top payout (for a game of this type). Even better, you get one of the highest RTP levels that you will see these days, its level being at 97.50%.
Three different feature symbols were implemented, including a Lucky Rat statue as the wild, the Firecrackers as scatters, and the Coins which will trigger wins.
Lucky Rat icons, made of gold and with the Wild logo next to them, will naturally be the ones you get to use as substitutes. These symbols are going to contribute to all kinds of winning combinations, you just need them landing in the right spot. You land wilds on the middle three reels only, and you don’t get to use them as replacements for scatters.
You can win the game’s free spins, 8 rounds at a time, and up to 240 total if you retrigger the feature, provided that the Firecrackers appear on the reels. These form combinations of sorts, as scatters but on all reels. You need scatters on all five reels, but then you get 8 rounds for every combo that is formed (multiple scatters per reel are possible). Up to 240 free spins can be played.
The other feature, the Coin scatter, will be used to trigger rewards of up to 50x the stake, when appearing enough times on the reels.
For the theme of Lucky Rat, we have one of the creatures mentioned in the Chinese Zodiac. It’s the Year of the Rat, and so RTG decided to create a new slot machine for it. As some of its symbols, you do get some less relevant intricate designs (better than Royals though), but there will also be Lucky Rats as wilds, Firecrackers to trigger free spins, Coins as scatters, or regular symbols with Gold Ingots, Paper Lanterns and Red Envelopes.
Lucky Rat is a great game to be trying out. It has low volatility, but bigger than average top payouts, and the RTP is also much higher than what a lot of its competitors are giving us.
