Australia was discovered by the Europeans in the 17th century when the hardy seafarers set sail to chart unknown lands. Lucky Eggsplorer slot game from Microgaming recreates this spirit of discovery. Because of its name it is also popular around Easter time which falls on April 5 this year.
Captain Chook, a comic rooster, is the lead explorer in this slot game. You can join him on his voyage aboard his ship the Endfeather. Discerning online casino players will note the resemblance to Captain Cook and his ship the Endeavour. Other symbols on the reels include the ship’s wheel, treasure map, rooster and hula dancer, all crafted in a comic style adding to the spoof nature of Lucky Eggsplorer. The usual high value card symbols are also used.
Captain Chook is the wild symbol. When it helps to form a winning combination, land is spotted through the telescope he carries. Captain Chook also awards the highest line payout of 6,000 coins, when five of these symbols appear on any of the 30 paylines. The treasure map is the scatter symbol. Five of these symbols appearing anywhere on the reels offer the highest scatter payout of 100 coins, which is multiplied by the total bet.
The main feature of the Lucky Eggsplorer online slot is the Journey Bonus game. It is a combination of a second screen bonus and free spins, which is triggered by three or more map symbols appearing on the reels. The second screen appears first and displays a world map. The map shows five chickens in different parts of the world like Africa, Australia, Asia, Pacific and South America. All of them are in their native dress. You choose three of the chickens and are awarded bonus credits or free spins. You are also given five extra free spins. Then the free spins are played out. All payouts are tripled during these free spins. The free spins are played on the same set of reels as the main game, but the background changes from a day scene to an evening scene, as is the case in so many Microgaming online slots. Unfortunately, the free spins in this exciting bonus game cannot be re-triggered.
Lucky Eggsplorer can be played at all Microgaming online casinos such as Casino Mate, Royal Vegas and Ruby Fortune. Casino Mate is a brand of the popular Vegas Partner Lounge group and offers a welcome bonus of AUS$ 1500 to new players.
