Lucky Neko (PG Soft): How the Slot Works

Wins cascade, and the game also has Wilds-on-the-Way: framed symbols that win turn gold, and gold symbols that win turn into 2 to 4 Wilds.

RTP is a long-run average over a very large number of spins. It does not tell you what will happen in one session.

How a spin works

The grid has 6 reels of 5 rows, plus one extra row on top of reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. When every symbol is single size, that is 5 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 x 5 = 32,400 ways. On reels 2 to 5, some symbols are 2 to 4 spaces tall and count as one symbol, so the number of ways drops. The current number is shown above the reels.

A win needs matching symbols on neighbouring reels, starting from the leftmost reel. The row does not matter. Winning symbols clear and new ones fall in. If they make a new win, the spin goes on. It ends when a round has no win.

The features, in plain words

Cat Symbol Multiplier. Whenever one or more Cat symbols land, the win multiplier goes up by 2 for each Cat, before the wins are paid. In PG Soft's screenshots one Cat in the main game shows x2. More Cats on the screen mean a higher multiplier.

Wilds-on-the-Way. On reels 2 to 5, some tall symbols (2 to 4 spaces, never Wilds or Scatters) land with a silver frame. If a silver-framed symbol is part of a win, it changes into a random symbol with a gold frame. If that gold-framed symbol is part of a win too, it changes into 2 to 4 Wilds, one for each space it filled.

Wild. The Wild replaces every symbol except the Scatter. It appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only.

Free spins. Four Scatters anywhere start 10 free spins, and each extra Scatter adds 2 more. During free spins every Cat again adds 2 to the multiplier before wins are paid. PG Soft's free-spin screenshots show it at x12 and x24 part way through, so it builds up as more Cats land. Free spins can be retriggered.

Feature buy. The Feature Buy button shows a price to start free spins straight away. The price depends on your bet and is shown in the game before you confirm.

PG Soft's game sheet splits the 96.73% RTP into 75.34% from the main game and 21.39% from free spins. So most of the return comes from normal spins.

Lucky Neko vs Treasures of Aztec

Both games use the same PG Soft grid: 6 reels, a top row and up to 32,400 ways, with silver and gold frames. In Treasures of Aztec the multiplier rises by 1 after every winning cascade, and a gold symbol becomes one Wild. In Lucky Neko the multiplier only moves when Cat symbols land (+2 each), and a gold symbol becomes 2 to 4 Wilds. Lucky Neko's top simulated win is lower (5,527x against 9,071x).

Practical notes before you play

• How the bet is built. Total bet = bet size x bet level x 20. PG Soft lists bet sizes 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 and levels 1 to 10, so the default range is 0.20 to 20 (in EUR). Your account currency sets the steps you see.
• Pick a stake you can hold. PG Soft's sheet puts a win of some size on about 28% of spins (27.56%), but most are small. Free spins trigger far less often (0.32% hit rate in the provider's figures).
• Set Auto Spin limits. Auto Spin can stop when your balance falls or rises by an amount you choose, or when one win passes a value you choose.
• Check History. The History button lists past rounds by date.
• Ignore "patterns". A random number generator decides each spin. No time of day or spin count changes the odds.
