After previous expeditions across Nepal and the Amazon, Slotmill’s recurring heroine steps into a new setting inspired by Mesoamerican legend. Lucy Luck and the Quest for Coins places the explorer among jungle-covered temples and cascading waterfalls as she searches for fabled Aztec riches. The release builds on mechanics seen in earlier Slotmill online slot titles while introducing additional systems tied to coin collection and hidden rewards.

When players enter the game, a greeting appears: “Lucy, let’s get lucky”, followed by heroic music that sets the tone for the adventure. The backdrop shows dense greenery and ancient stone structures, with a towering temple partially hidden beneath vines. The presentation aligns Lucy Luck with other well-known slot adventurers such as Cat Wilde, Rich Wilde, and John Hunter.

6×6 Cluster Gameplay and Core Mechanics

The slot runs on a 6×6 grid using a cluster-pays format. Wins require five or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically. Instead of fixed paylines, clusters determine payouts. Avalanches, also referred to as cascading wins, occur after each successful combination. Winning symbols disappear, remaining icons fall into empty spaces, and new symbols drop from above. The sequence continues as long as new clusters form.

Each position on the grid begins covered by a stone block. When a winning cluster forms, the related blocks break apart, potentially uncovering treasure chests hidden beneath. Blocks can also be removed by scatter symbols and Extra Spin symbols. However, non-winning matching symbols do not clear their underlying blocks.

The paytable includes gemstones as lower-value symbols and adventure-themed items such as machetes, compasses, binoculars, and journals as higher-value icons. Lucy’s portrait sits at the top of the hierarchy. Clusters of 18 or more matching symbols can award from 12.5x up to 200x the stake, depending on the symbol. Wilds substitute for most symbols except scatters and can contribute to multiple cluster wins in a single sequence.

Players may wager between 0.20 and 100 per spin. Activating Xtra-Bet doubles the stake and increases the chance of triggering free spins by 4.1 times. Burst Mode allows automated play at two rounds per second. The title comes in two RTP configurations: 96.01% and 94.02%. The volatility is rated very high, and the maximum payout reaches 20,000 times the bet.

Coin Cluster, Collect Meter, and Treasure Chests

A defining mechanic in the game is Coin Cluster. Coin symbols carry values ranging from 1x to 500x the active stake. When at least five coins connect in a cluster, their displayed multipliers combine and pay out. Afterward, the total merges into a single coin placed back onto the grid before new symbols fall. Coin Clusters do not generate wilds during this process.

Alongside coin collection, the Collect Meter tracks symbol explosions. Each removed symbol adds one charge. When the meter reaches 30, it triggers a feature that places additional Coins and Wilds onto the reels and increases the win multiplier by +1. If the meter climbs to 60, an overcharge version awards a larger quantity of Coins and Wilds before resetting. Charge symbols can appear randomly and add +5 to the meter before transforming into another symbol.

The Multiplier Boost may activate at the start of a round. When it does, the Collect Meter fills instantly with 30 or 60 charges, and the win multiplier increases by a random amount before the meter feature triggers.

Treasure Chests appear beneath cleared blocks. Once fully uncovered, a chest unlocks one of several modifiers. The Earth Mask adds 7 to 20 charges to the Collect Meter. The Fire Mask increases the multiplier by +1 to +3. The Water Mask places 2 to 5 wilds on the grid, while the Lightning Mask adds 3 to 5 Coins. During base play, a chest can also reveal a Scatter symbol. In bonus rounds, it may grant +1 Spin.

Free Spins, Super Free Spins, and Fast Track

Landing three scatter symbols during the base game awards eight free spins. Destroyed blocks carry over between bonus spins, and the Collect Meter along with the multiplier continue to build until the feature concludes. If all treasure chests unlock, the grid resets with new blocks and newly positioned chests. Extra Spin symbols add +1 spin, while a Bonus Upgrade symbol converts the feature into Super Free Spins and grants +2 additional spins.

Four scatters trigger eight Super Free Spins directly. In this enhanced round, coins that do not form clusters remain on the grid and accumulate at the bottom, increasing potential value on subsequent spins. Other mechanics from the standard free spins remain active, except Bonus Upgrade symbols do not appear.

Slotmill also includes a Fast Track menu, allowing players to purchase specific features. Options range from Super Xtra-Bet at 7x the stake to Super Free Spins at 500x. Other selections include a Multiplier Meter Boost at 40x, regular free spins at 100x, and a gamble option at 180x the stake.

Lucy Luck and the Quest for Coins combines cluster gameplay, progressive modifiers, and layered bonus systems within a high-volatility framework. With a top payout of 20,000x the bet and multiple feature triggers integrated into the base game, the latest installment expands Lucy’s ongoing search for hidden treasure.
