Lucky Oak Slot Review

Lucky Oak Slot Overview

Lucky Oak from BGaming drops you straight into a tranquil green forest, with a huge oak tree at the centre and a little leprechaun lurking in the grass. The game was released around St Patrick’s Day and leans hard into that Irish folklore feel. On paper it looks like a classic 5x3 video slot with 10 paylines, but the very high volatility and single-shot Bonus Game give it a very punchy profile.

When I first fired up Lucky Oak, what struck me was how calm the base game feels compared to how aggressive the pay table actually is. You spin away on simple line wins while waiting for the oak Scatter to land. There is no clutter of side features, no free spins loop, just straightforward line hits and that one big Bonus Game that can throw up to 9990x the bet on a single spin.

Lucky Oak Slot Information

Lucky Oak is a video slot with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines, paying left to right. The minimum bet sits at 0.20 and the maximum at 12, which keeps it accessible but still interesting for more serious play. I have run it on desktop and mobile and the layout stays clean on both, with large symbols and a basic, almost retro frame that focuses you on the reels rather than extra clutter.

Wins are created by landing three or more matching symbols on a payline starting from the leftmost reel. The spin pace and hit rate give you a steady stream of small line wins while you wait for the Bonus symbols. There is no separate free spins mode to track, which I actually appreciate here, as the entire maths model is built around regular line payouts and that single high-impact bonus feature.

The lower-paying symbols are the silver coin and the card ranks J, Q and K, which in my sessions tended to land often and pay between 0.5x and 1.5x the bet for five of a kind. The higher-paying symbols are A, the beer pint, the money pot and the leprechaun with his pipe, worth up to around 30x the bet. There is no Wild symbol on the reels, so your key special is the big oak Scatter that triggers the Bonus Game.

Lucky Oak Slot Features

Feature-wise, Lucky Oak keeps things tight. You have the Bonus Game, a Buy Bonus option and the Bonus Scatter, and that is basically the whole package. BGaming list the RTP around 96.17% with very high volatility, and that matches how the slot plays. The max win is stated at up to 9990x the bet, reached inside the Bonus Game when you combine the highest three-digit multiplier with the top entry multiplier from five Scatters.

From a gambling point of view, this setup means long stretches of modest line hits broken up by occasional big spikes when the oak tree comes through. In my play, it felt swingy even at low stakes, so I treated it more like a high-risk punt than a grind slot. If you are chasing that big 9990x outcome, you have to accept that a lot of Bonus rounds will sit closer to the bottom of the range.

Bonus Game in Lucky Oak

The Bonus Game in Lucky Oak is where everything happens. Land 3 or more oak Scatters in one spin and you are taken inside the tree, where the leprechaun fires up a tiny slot machine with a single row. Each of the three reels stops on a number between 0 and 9, forming a three-digit multiplier worth up to 999x your bet. Hit the feature with 4 Scatters and the total win is tripled; trigger it with 5 and it is multiplied by ten.

Bonus Buy in Lucky Oak

For players who do not want to wait, Lucky Oak offers a Bonus Buy that costs 100x the bet and guarantees at least 3 Scatters on the triggering spin. I have used it when I felt the base game was running dry, and it really does throw you straight into the action, but the risk is obvious. With such a volatile Bonus Game, paying 100x for entry can land you a modest multiplier as easily as a massive hit.

Lucky Oak Slot Conclusion

From my perspective, Lucky Oak is all about whether you enjoy that one-shot bonus style. The base game is simple, with just 10 paylines, straightforward symbol values and no Wilds or free spins. That makes it very easy to follow, even if you are new to BGaming titles, but it also means every serious win story you tell about this slot will start with hitting the oak tree Scatter at the right moment.

If you prefer steady bonuses and lower swings, Lucky Oak will probably feel a bit too sharp, even at the minimum stake. If, like me, you enjoy lining up a bankroll, picking a bet level and hunting for a rare but memorable hit, the combination of a 96.17% RTP, very high volatility and a Bonus Game capable of up to 9990x the bet makes this forest worth a visit, ideally in demo first before committing real money.
