Have you ever bet on sports online? Sports betting is a very popular pastime for millions of people around the world. That’s exactly what Expanse Studios was aiming for in its latest slot, bringing sports betting into the slot industry.

Available only in Meridianbet casino, Lucky Betting Shop is a fun and rewarding slot machine with a sports betting theme. Not online betting, mind you, but betting in shops. It nicely replicates the atmosphere of said shops, including betting tickets that serve as wilds to form lucrative winning combinations.

Lucky Betting Shop is an excellent slot for all sports fans. This isn’t your typical slot game. Instead, it has managed to incorporate the process of betting in slot form, creating a very unique machine.

Fill Out the Bet Tickets

The Lucky Betting Shop slot has 1,024 paylines. Bets start at a minimum of 25 coins. All wins are multiplied by coin bets and pay from left to right. The only exception are scatter wins which pay any.

The Lucky Betting Shop symbols include sports betting paraphernalia. The action takes place in a lucky betting shop where you can win on a wide range of sports. The card royals are low-win symbols, while the punters and employees pay more. The betting ticket is the wild, substituting for all symbols in winning combinations except for the scatter.

The symbols offer mixed pay. They can appear in full and half-size. When they appear as half-size, they pay according to the paytable. The lady behind the counter pays the most – 250x your stake for five of a kind. The punter is right beneath in the pecking order, paying 100x for the same combination.

In the base game, random multipliers can be added to the reels, varying between 50x and 250x your stake. There’s only one winning position on the multiplier reel. The same feature is active during the free spins round, where you can win staggering bet slips.

Bonus Features

The Lucky Betting Shop slot has a free spins round that is triggered by three scatters anywhere on the reels. You’ll get a total of 15 free spins that can be retriggered. The slot game uses special reels during this round. The free spins are played at the triggering bet.

There’s another feature which will surely excite sports betting fans. It’s called Bet Ticket and can be bought by clicking on the bet slip in the lower left corner. This is a side (optional) bet that can only be purchased during idle base gameplay. You can have up to two betting slips active. To activate the feature, you first choose one of three symbols and the number of spins.

For example, you can choose the employee or punter to appear 21 or 25 times in 12 spins. You then select your bet on the right and start spinning. If you manage to get your chosen symbol a certain number of times in the following 12 spins, you win your betting ticket with a solid multiplier.

Absolute Sports Fun

If you’re a fan of sports betting, you’ll surely have fun with Lucky Betting Shop. Try your luck at the betting ticket and you can earn stunning rewards thanks to the active multipliers. It’s a pretty fun slot machine that will delight sports fans, so give it a try at Meridianbet and enjoy the betting action.
