Lucky Lemons Slot Review

Lucky Lemons Slot Overview

Lucky Lemons is a casino slot from Snowborn Games in which this Stockholm-based provider tries to attract fans of game series such as Big Bass Bonanza by using the collect mechanic. However, a Lemon Booster and some static Jackpots have been added to spice up the potential.

If you consider Games Global as one single provider, they’d be the leading actor in terms of the quantity of new releases. On average, we see almost one game a day coming out from its studios. But Games Global is more of an aggregator than a standard provider, providing studios with the tools and platforms necessary to create slots. Furthermore, the quality of the games released by Games Global studios differs a lot, and one that often stands out is today's host, Snowborn Games. With slots such as Cat Clans 2 - Mad Cats and Masters of Olympus, Snowborn makes some heavy hitters and tries to stand out in an industry infected by re-skins. Lucky Lemons risks falling into the re-skin category, but we hope to be surprised. Let’s dig in!

Lucky Lemons is a video slot from Snowborn Games with 5 reels, 3 rows, and 20 paylines. Players can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.20 and a Max.bet of 50. The game has a default RTP of 96%, placing it just around the industry average. Its hit frequency of 27.62% implies that, on average, you can expect a winning combination on every 4th spin or so. Lastly, Lucky Lemons is played at medium volatility and can net you a max win of 5000x the bet.

A perk of this game is that it contains plenty of mechanics to keep you on your toes throughout your session. The features of Lucky Lemons are Wild Symbol, Lemon & Collect Symbols, Lemon Booster, Jackpot Bonus, Free Spins, and Feature Buy.

Lucky Lemons Slot Information

While its quantity of mechanics may attract players, Lucky Lemons will be in somewhat of a disadvantage when it comes to the design. The graphics are rather crisp, but it looks awfully generic, with very old-school fruit symbols, and nothing really going on theme-wise. We realize that there’s an audience that appreciates this; it’s just not us.

Lucky Lemons can be played on all common mobile devices and desktops. A winning combination is created by landing 3 or more matching symbols on consecutive reels within the game’s paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. 

The lower-paying symbols consist of J, Q, K, and A. A full line of 5 with one of these pays 1x-2.4x the bet. The higher-paying symbols include grapes, plums, watermelons, and cherries. Five-of-a-kind with these pays 7x-17x the bet. There’s also a Wild symbol that can substitute for any other paying symbol, and if you were to hit a full line with it, that’ll pay 100x the bet. Scatter symbols, 1UP symbols, and Lemon & Collect symbols are also available, but more on that in a bit.

Lucky Lemons Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Lucky Lemons?

You can win up to 5000x the bet.

What features are available in the slot Lucky Lemons?

The features of Lucky Lemons are Wild Symbol, Lemon & Collect Symbols, Lemon Booster, Jackpot Bonus, Free Spins, and Feature Buy.

Wild Symbol

The Wild symbol substitutes for other paying symbols and is also the highest-paying symbol.

Lemon & Collect Symbols

Lemons with 0.2x-50x value can land. Their cash values can be collected by landing a Collect symbol on the last reel. 

Lemon Booster

Above the grid, you’ll see a Lemon Booster meter. It starts with a value of 1x and is increased by +1 each time you land a 1UP symbol. Whenever you land a combination of Lemon symbols and a Collect symbol, the Lemons are multiplied by the current Lemon Booster multiplier, and the Lemon Booster is then reset. 

Jackpot Bonus

The Jackpot Bonus has a chance to be triggered when you land Lemon symbols on reels 1, 2, 3, and 4. You start with 3 spins and a grid which now only has Lemon symbols and Jackpot symbols present. Each time you land a new symbol, the spins are reset to 3. The following Jackpots are available:

Mini = 30x

Minor = 100x

Major = 500x

Mega = 5000x

To win one of the Jackpots, you need to land 3 of their corresponding symbol. If you fill the grid with Lemon symbols, you are awarded the Mega Jackpot of 5000x the bet.

Free Spins

Landing 3 Scatter symbols triggers 10 spins in the Free Spins feature. Each 1UP symbol increases the Lemon Booster multiplier, which doesn’t reset until the end of the feature. Furthermore, each time you reach 4x, 7x, and 10x on the Lemon Booster multiplier meter, you are awarded 5 extra spins. 

Feature Buy

If you want to jump straight into action, the Free Spins feature can be bought at a cost of 50x the bet. 

Lucky Lemons Slot Overview

We find ourselves in a tricky situation trying to decide what we think of these “collect cash values” games. Part of us are sick of them, as almost every single provider has started releasing similar games. But if we take a step back and analyze the situation, we realize that there’s a reason for this flooding. Providers wouldn’t just make these games because everyone else is, but because of how popular they are. In the end, it’s all about demand, so if we want a change, the demand for games like this must vanish.

Now to the positives. Lucky Lemons plays really smoothly, and Snowborn has implemented mechanics that trigger frequently enough to keep players engaged. One thing we like a lot and that we’ve complimented in the past is the 1UP mechanic. It’s a brilliant feature as it builds the potential up and then rewards you. In most games, a dead spin is a dead spin and can’t provide you with anything positive. But when you’re constantly building up for that big spin or bonus and are actually making progress towards it, it feels really good. It makes each spin when you’re up on a big multiplier really exciting, and you’ll sit there begging that the spin when a Collect symbol lands is absolutely stacked with cash values. Most often, it’s not, but the hope is there, and that’s what keeps players playing. Lucky Lemons is a decent release, but we struggle to see it’ll have any longevity. Give us Cat Clans 3, please!

Lucky Lemons by Snowborn Games takes players on a generic journey that has its occasional heart-raising moments.
