About Lucky Angler
Fishing isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. We’ll admit, we lack the patience to sit and endlessly wait, hoping for a bite. Which is funny, when you consider the similarities between fishing and slots. In both cases, you can only cross your fingers and pray that you get lucky. So, if you’re hoping to combine your two-pass times, NetEnt comes to the rescue!
There’s no music playing – just the ambient noise of water, and the sound of reels spinning. Lucky Angler’s RTP is 96.41%, slightly above the current average. Every good fisherman knows that you need bait to attract fish! In this case, the bait are the three special features: Sticky Wilds, free spins and playing both ways. Not the most exciting bonuses we have ever seen, but they get the job done!
For a game released in 2012, this NetEnt release looks marvelous. Obviously, it cannot compare to modern slots. But the animations still look smooth, both for symbols and the background image. The special features are also quite basic. Great news for Indian casino players who are hoping for something simple and enjoyable.
How to Play Lucky Angler
The game has a medium variance, with a simple gameplay loop. Spin the reels, and pray to the deity of your choice that you win free spins as quickly as possible! The fact this NetEnt release pays both ways is a huge help in creating small prizes. But if you plan on winning something more substantial, you’ll need the Sticky Wilds and free spins to fill your wallet.
You can set your coins between ₹1.00 and ₹50.00 per spin. By adjusting your coin value and bet level, gamblers are able to change their total bet. You can wager between ₹30 and ₹1500 for each spin. This is an awesome betting spread for mid-range players and high rollers.
Symbol design is a mixed bag. We’re not big fans of playing card royals, though we like the fact NetEnt froze them solid. You can also find an old boot, a crab, and various types of fish swimming about the playing field. A golden fish is the Wild, while a flock of fish is the Scatter. Keep a lookout for the bright redfish, as he’s the fastest way to secure the 685x jackpot.

Special Features
- Sticky Wilds: Wilds can only appear on the second and fourth reel during normal gameplay. When they are part of a win, the Wild will freeze, and remain in place. So long as the Wild continues to assist in creating winning combinations, it will remain sticky. However, if there are no new wins that include the Wild, then the ice will thaw and the fish will escape.
- Free Spins: Collect three, four or five Scatters at the same time to win ten, fifteen or twenty free spins, respectively. During free spins, sticky Wilds can appear on the second, third and fourth reel. This is an upgrade over only being able to land on the second and fourth reels.
- Pays Both Ways: Winning combinations can be completed both left to right and right to left. It makes earning a cash prize that much easier.
What's our Take?
It looks good for a video slot from 2012. But it is still just a game from 2012. The animations and symbol design held up quite nicely, but they cannot compete with modern NetEnt releases. You won’t have any trouble playing Lucky Angler, but it won’t blow your mind either.
The same can be said for its gameplay. Sticky Wilds and free spins are a tried and true combination. It’s very enjoyable, especially if you land a big win! If you’re looking for something that’s simple, but can still net you a decent prize, then this slot is for you.
