I Love Lucy

Lucy and Ricky and Fred and Ethel are back in this this adorable video slot game. Launched in October 2011, I Love Lucy is part of the Win It Again series of WMS slot games and features actual clips from the popular 1950’s show. This 27-line slot game offers Cascading Reels and a unique Win It Again bonus feature as well as an exciting interactive bonus game.

“I Love Lucy” Characteristics

I Love Lucy is bursting out of the television screen once again. The spin button is design to look like an old TV dial. The symbols are colorful and lifelike with images of Lucy, Ethel, Ricky and Fred including wilds. The audio is reminiscent of that used in the TV series. There is a Win It Again meter at the top of the slot game and big blue arrows going up the sides. We’ll get to the details of that later.

A unique WMS feature is the Cascading Reels. The symbols fall from above which gives the appearance of cascading. Winning combinations are calculated and disappear allowing new symbols to drop into place and a possibility for new winning combinations. This continues until no wins are created.

As with all WMS slot games, there is an Auto Play option on I Love Lucy.

Special Features

The Cascading Reels could be considered a special feature as it continues until no winning combinations are formed and the replacement of symbols doesn’t take from your balance.

After each spin, the pay result is posted into the Win It Again meter. All prior results move one position to the right as new results are posted. A maximum of 5 wins are posted in the meter at once. The total amount of these results is awarded to the player after three or more consecutive cascades.

The Cash Out Chance Feature gives the player the opportunity to win a mystery amount of up to the total amount in the Win It Again meter. After selecting this option, the amounts will clear from the meter. Closing the game will automatically trigger this feature before you exit.

Any losing spin could result in a Win It Again Mystery Boost to be added to the meter. Amounts of 200x, 300x, 400x, 500x, 700x or 1000x the line bet may appear. This amount can be won after three or more cascades or by selecting the Cash Out Chance Feature.

Three or more Feature symbols trigger Lucy’s Pick A Clip Feature. Four symbols award an additional 5x the line bet and five symbols award an additional 50x the line bet.

In Lucy’s Pick A Clip Feature, the players are presented with 20 hearts and will be prompted to select. Each heart reveals a specific clip from the television show which is grouped at the bottom of the screen. Each series of collected film clips awards either 200x, 500x, 750x or 1000x the bet per line. It’s basically a match game. Three, four or five matches award the corresponding prize. Hearts may also reveal a “2x” symbol which will multiply all film clip awards. “All Awarded” will automatically place one clip in each collection of clips at the bottom of the screen.

Conclusion:

Lucy has some splainin’ to do. We recommend reading the paytable and getting a clear understanding of the features before playing this slot game. At first it seems a bit complicated but once you start playing, things will fall into place. The bonus feature can be difficult to trigger but is so worth waiting for.
