Game Overview

The saying goes that you learn something new every day, and today I discovered that there are around 5,000 different species of Ladybugs in the world. Here in the UK, we tend to see the red ones with black spots the most, and a few years back, we had swarms of them here at the coast! Let me tell you, eating a 99 Ice cream on the seafront was impossible. So why am I telling you interesting facts about ladybirds, my fellow Demoslotters? That’s because I’m about to introduce you to the Ladybird Luck slot free Pragmatic Play. This is a 6-reel cluster pays slot that has vital statistics that include an RTP of 96.46% and a maximum win of 5,000x bet.

The game takes place over a 6×6 playfield, and we have a couple of features to tell you about. First, we have the random wild bonus that can trigger on any spin in the base game. When this activates, the Ladybug Wild will be placed in a random position on the reels ranging in size from 1×1 up to a massive 6×6. Your best bet of getting anywhere near hitting a jackpot though comes courtesy of the free spins feature, triggered when four or more scatters appear in view. During this bonus, collecting additional scatter symbols will cause the wild symbol to upgrade, again having the potential to reach 6×6 in size.

Whether it’s Ladybird season in your part of the world or not, you can enjoy all of their pretty colours in our Ladybug Luck slot demo if you wish to do so. It’s available to play below.

Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Ladybug Luck paytable

I got an instant feeling of Déjà vu when I opened up Ladybug Luck, and as it turns out, it is indeed a style of game I have seen before. Have you figured out what it is yet? It’s a clone of another Pragmatic slot titled Wild Hop and Drop, which we scored 7.9 out of 10 when we reviewed it, so at least we know it will be a fairly decent game before we even get to the mods and features section of the article. If you’re interested in looking at another nature-themed game from Pragmatic, then they also released a slot called Frogs and Bugs, although that only received a score of 4.5 from us, yikes maybe give that one a swerve then. Back to today’s offering though, and it’s time to see what the pays section serves, so let’s jump straight in.

Kicking things off at the top of the paytable is the Golden Ladybug Wild, which will award the jackpot of 5,000x bet if you hit the full screen 6×6 symbol. As for the standard pays, we have the Blue Ladybug worth 200x bet for clusters of 26+, followed by the Purple Ladybug at 100x and the Green Ladybug at 60x. The low pays are represented by four royals, with the ace paying 40x bet for clusters of 26 or more, followed by the King at 30x, the Queen at 25x, and finally, the Jack paying 20x bet for winning clusters of 26 and over.

It’s business as usual from Pragmatic Play with the structuring of their wagers. The minimum bet starts at €0.20 a spin, with the maximum bet on the game reaching €100 for those with the funds to high roll. As always, there are countless options within this betting range, making the slot accessible for players of all sized budgets.

Base Game & Modifiers

Ladybug Luck base game

The gameplay on Ladybug Luck is set over a playing grid of 6×6 which totals 36 positions for symbols to appear on. Players will be awarded a win when clusters of 6 or more symbols land adjacent anywhere within the playfield.

Random Wild Symbol

Whilst playing in the base game, it is possible that on any spin, the Random Wild Modifier can be triggered. This will see a wild symbol ranging from 1×1 up to 6×6 in size being added to the grid.

Ladybug Luck Slot Bonus Features

Ladybug Luck free spins feature

The main bonus round on Ladybug Luck is triggered when four or more bonus scatter symbols appear in view, awarding players six free spins to begin the feature with.

Free Spins

The free spins begin with a wild symbol of 1×1 on the grid, which will move to a random position at the beginning of every spin. Additionally, you will see a progressive meter positioned to the right of the reels. Every four scatters that are then collected will award you with more free spins ranging between 1 – 3 and upgrade the wild symbol to its next size, with a maximum of 6×6 being able to be reached.

Players should note that if the feature was triggered with 5 or 6 scatters, the free spins will begin with 1 or 2 upgrades already completed, respectively.

Bonus Buy

Those who would like to skip the base game and are playing from a region where the feature buy facility is active can trigger the free spins instantly at the cost of 100x bet.

Pros

There are not many slots themed around Ladybugs.
The bonus round can be fun.
High RTP.

Cons

Just a clone of a previous title from the provider.
If they were going to copy Wild Hop and Drop, they could have at least increased the max win to 10,000x.

Ladybug Luck Slot Review Final Thoughts

We did score Wild Hop and Drop slightly higher than Ladybug Luck, and whilst that was somewhat of a clone of Push Gaming's Fat Rabbit and Fat Santa in ways, it was at least new for Pragmatic. Ultimately this will come down to whether you prefer Frogs or Ladybugs. After the great ice cream debacle in my local town in 2018, I've still not forgiven the Ladybirds yet, so I'm team Frog. Which one will you choose?
