This video slot is entitled Lucky Larry’s Lobster Mania but it is often shortened on the web to be called Lobster Mania. This video slot is developed by IGT and can be played for as little as 25p to £500 per spin. Lobster Mania has a marine theme to it, which is evident by the sound effects and colourful graphics. It comes with 5 reels and 25 paylines. It also offers a few special features such as multipliers, wild symbols and bonus symbols.
Theme
The wide ocean spreads across the background of the reels with rocks lined up along the bottom. Long pieces of old driftwood act as the border of the reels, which gives further emphasis to the marine theme of Lobster Mania. This video slot comes with added sound effects and background music, which includes the B52s, hit number ‘Rock Lobster’. The symbols on the reels include a small fishing boat, a buoy, the Lobster Mania logo, a lighthouse and playing card symbols such as J, Q, K and A.
Wild Symbol
The wild is the symbol of the lobster wearing a pair of sunglasses. He is able to replace any other regular icon on the reels and is the highest paying symbol in the main game. If you manage to get five wild symbols on an active payline, you will be given an instant payout that can reach up to 10000x your bet.
Buoy Bonus Feature
Get three of the Lobster Mania logo icons on the reels to trigger this bonus round where you will have to choose a lobster, which will then tell you if you will receive 2, 3 or 4 buoys. Once you have your number, you will be taken to the bonus screen. Lucky Larry pulls prizes out of a big trap, which ranges from 5x your bet up to 250x, your bet. Each buoy you had originally will give you two prizes so if you had 2 buoys you would receive two turns getting prizes out of the trap etc.
