Part of the Broadway Gaming Group that is made up of 7 sister brands, Lucky 247 is a Microgaming casino regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and licensed by MGA. As other virtual casinos powered exclusively by that provider, Lucky 247 offers a complete collection of games, from vintage pokies designed back in the 2000s to the latest pokie editions. The bonus program is not bad, though the number of bonuses could be increased, because there is certainly a lack of reload (deposit match) deals. Anyway, the bonus department consists of a powerful welcome pack and permanent tournaments with no fee to join.
At the first glance it becomes clear that the site is primarily focused on mobile users as most menus are hidden under a three-line button sitting at the top left corner. When viewed on desktop, webpages look half-empty with great spaces between text and image blocks. This unclutteredness is perfect for mobile browsing of the online casino. Publication of Payout Rates for all their games is another aspect worth player’s attention. A respective link is found at the site bottom and it leads to an extremely long list of game titles with percentage payout values stated for each game – this information can be of great help in picking the most unstinting pokies.
Banking in Lucky 247
A registered user residing in New Zealand finds the following methods on the My Account – Banking page: Cards (Visa, MasterCard), Skrill, Neteller, Rapid Transfer (this is used to transfer money through paysafecard) and Instant Banking. At the stage of signup, a player is asked to select one of three currencies, GBP, EUR and CAD. New Zealand dollars are also accepted but they are automatically converted into the initially selected currency that will be displayed for all bets and prizes. The min deposit amount is $10. Bitcoins (and other crypto) are not accepted.
When a player creates a withdrawal request, it is assigned a pending status until it is processed by the casino, which normally happens the next day. Withdrawals under $20 are subject to a $2 fee to cover reasonable administrative expenses. All other withdrawals in excess of $20 are usually free but there may be fees for some methods. The max limit is not envisaged, therefore a player is entitled to withdraw any positive balance on the casino account, however high it may be. The available methods are Neteller, bank transfer, Skrill and Visa debit card. Similar to deposit options, bitcoins cannot be used for betting or other casino activities.
Lucky 247 mobile casino
Most Microgaming games perform flawlessly on most mobile devices (iOS and Android smartphones). Some of the oldest pokies from that company are not mobile-friendly but all recent releases are made in HTML5 from scratch so they are supported by mobile platforms. All pokies have sleek and large control buttons for easy tapping and managing the gameplay – this also relates to table games, which are also playable on a wide range of screen sizes. Bonuses and many other major sections of the casino are also accessible on the go.
Video pokies in Lucky 247
Presenting games from just a single provider is not a problem if this provider is Microgaming. The point is that this internationally renowned company manages to appeal to almost every NZ user, because it has a stunning variety of pokies. The reviewed casino has all pokies ever released by Microgaming.
As for five-reelers, they are of different level of bonus availability. Some games, especially these produced many years ago, tend to be very simple. For example, Soccer Safari (2010) has Wilds, free spins and Expanding Wilds (reels 1 and 5) that become sticky during free spins. Another old game, Break da Bank Again (2012), has a then-revolutionary and now-iconic Megaspin engine that clones the same reel set four times so a user actually plays 4 pokies at a time. Features are free spins at x5 and a x5 (x25) wild symbol. These and other pokies that Microgaming generated 5-10 years ago are usually less complicated than contemporary creations.
Among the newest titles in Lucky 247, an NZ gambler will find the following:
- A Dark Matter. A Sherlock Holmes-style detective story with Wild symbols, Stacked wilds, trademarked Invading Wilds (a fully occupied Wild reel will invade a neighboring reel and turn it into Wild), Scatters and Free Spins
- Treasures of Lion City. Familiar Rolling Reels have gotten an unusual twist in this pokie. On every second consecutive win (1–3–5 etc.), a high-valued symbol will turn wild for the remaining Rolling Reels session
- African Quest: Hyperspins. The African savannah theme is added by exotic paid Respins (with only one reel respun at a time), Stacked Lions and Free Spin selection
- Electric Avenue (released in 2020). Neon lights and deliberately simplistic 80s style design intertwine to deliver a 5×4 pokie with Wild reels (each featuring a unique multiplier), Free Spins and a chance of getting up to $205.000 in a lucky spin.
This casino section (Five-reel pokies) is a full-fledged catalogue in which New Zealand players are almost certainly to track down many games based on their preference.
Lucky 247 pokies basically have five reels but there are also a few classic titles with a 3-reel scheme. Some classics have five lines on board (Captain Cash, Cool Buck, Flying Ace) and a jackpot hike for line 5. Another subgroup is made up of one-line machines such as Rock the Boat, Sizzling Scorpions and Thousand Islands.
Progressive jackpots in Lucky 247
Lucky 247 is a treasure island for jackpot chasers, because the venue has all progressive games ever produced by Microgaming. Top titles by an average jackpot win are Mega Moolah pokies, Major Millions, King Cashalot and other pokies with smaller progressives. Alongside pokies, there are two table games, also featuring a jackpot addition. Triple Sevens Blackjack pays out a progressive if the player has 3 Sevens of diamonds in the hand. Roulette Royale awards its pooled progressive if the same number stops on the wheel for five times straight. All games of this kind have been proven as reliable over the years.
Table games in Lucky 247
There are very few providers to have produced so many blackjack variants as Microgaming has. New Zealand users can pick from classic (Atlantic City, Vegas Strip, Vegas Downtown) and rare tables (Double Exposure, Super Fun 21, Multi-Hand Bonus Blackjack). Rules of play always sit inside each BJ.
Roulette is represented by 10 tables produced in different years, starting at June 2002. Along with classic products, a player would be interested in at least two titles: Multi-Wheel roulette and Multi-Player roulette. The former has 8 regular European wheels (with one zero slot) rotating independently and yielding different results. Finally, other table games include several baccarat titles, craps, Red Dog and instant scratchers.
Bonus program in Lucky 247
By betting ($1 wagered gives 1 point) or depositing ($1 deposited earns 15 points), a player collects Reward points and unlocks a host of bigger bonuses by climbing in the Loyalty Program that consists of 5 levels.
A traditional welcome offer is comprised of a 100% first deposit bonus up to $150, which is credited automatically – unless the player opted out – on depositing the minimum of $20. As a rule, Lucky 247 reload bonuses including the welcome offer have the wagering requirement of 50 times.
Tourneys are another bonus component in the promotional program designed by Lucky 247. They are called “Slot Sprints” and run on selected pokies for a limited timeframe. Prizes are normally awarded for wins in pokie rounds, not for mere wagering.
