Lucky Nugget Casino
Summary
Lucky Nugget is a classic Microgaming casino, and that means a record number of cutting edge games with an old-school US-style presentation.
There’s an enjoyable brashness to casinos like this one that too many more recently-launched sites are lacking: A decent casino should have a slightly illicit air about it, making you feel as though you’re playing hookie from school; it should give you a buzz from the moment you open it up, and in that sense Lucky Nugget hits the spot every time.
As per usual you can choose to download for 500-plus games, or use instant play for around 200; either way there are loads and you’ll still get the very latest if you don’t download.
Whilst it would be impossible for the hundreds of sites that use Microgaming’s software to all have the same unimpeachable reputation, Lucky Nugget has an extra card to play in this area as it’s a member of the Belle Rock Casino Group, owner of popular sites like Gaming Club – the first ever casino launched online way back in 1994 – and the hugely popular Jackpot City. These casinos benefit from shared resources and economies of scale not found at other casinos, giving them access to promotions, payment processing and customer service facilities that you won’t find at most casinos.
Software
It was great to see a demo mode on offer at Lucly Nugget: Too many sites either don’t offer this but Lucky Nugget will let you play a classic, pub-style full-screen pokie to give you an idea of what to expect in terms of resolution, sound etc – although in reality this game is a starting point: All the others are more complex in every way imaginable.
Most if not all Microgaming casinos encourage you to download and Lucky Nugget are no exception; however you will find a section in their ‘Getting Started’ area that explains how to play using online Flash technology, which we really appreciated . Not everyone wants a 600-game casino installed on their machine but too many casinos make it difficult to avoid going down that route so thumbs up to Lucky Nugget for making it easy.
Games
Where do we start? Microgaming offer everything in abundance, but their strength still lies in progressive jackpot games and selected popular titles from the rest of their collection that have emerged as household names over the years.
The top progressive game will always be the mighty Mega Moolah: This safari-themed legend looks like a fairly standard 5 reeler with a contemporary safari theme, soothing pastel shades of orange, brown and yellow and a fairly ordinary set of features – until you trigger the random bonus round. Rather than just awarding you a jackpot, Microgaming amp up the excitement by taking you off-screen to a wheel of fortune that has four levels of jackpot. Each jackpot has a number of segments on the wheel assigned to it, with more segments allocated the lower the jackpot level is. You then get to sit, heart in mouth, as the wheel spins and lands on your jackpot – and numerous players have found themselves becoming millionaires over the years with top hauls recorded in excess of 5 million dollars.
The more retro-looking Major Millions offer similar levels of top prizes, whilst better odds can be had no the smaller games like Tunzamunni, King Cashalot and Treasure Nile, though it’s worth putting these into perspective as they’re capable of generating six-figure jackpots.
Among the non-progressive games you’ll find certain slots’ names seem to keep coming up:
Avalon is a big game, and the best King Arthur slot on the market with a misty, dreamy style that avoids the cartoon-style clichés that other Round Table-themed slots resort to - which is probably why it wins out.
Tomb Raider and its sequel Tomb Raider II: The Secret of the Sword both deliver all the Lara Croft action you could possibly want. The first game was an enjoyable adventure and pleased the franchise’s fans immensely but the follow-up took Lara all over the world with a wide assortment of off-screen features that turned the game from a regular slot into a gripping cross-continental adventure.
A similar success story has occurred with Thunderstruck: Based on Greek legend Thor, the first slot in this series went down a storm with its bold, macho theming but once the second game was launched they set the bar even higher with 243 ways to win and The Great Hall of Free Spins, a ratchet-style feature allowing you entry into rooms containing successively more elaborate free spins features. It’s still the single most impressive free spins feature in the industry and has consequently put the game into the instant classic category.
