Aristocrat's lucky-number machine — 88x wilds and a dice bonus
The wild does more than substitute — any combination it completes can be multiplied by up to 88 times.
The red lantern pays regardless of paylines, scaling from a small return for two up to a 188x multiplier for five.
Three or more lanterns open a pick screen with three free-spin and multiplier packages — four with the Extra Choice option enabled.
The alternative bonus rolls nine dice in a 3×3 grid, freezing every 8 you land and paying by the count — with a centre die that can extend the round.
Choose up to 25 paylines and your bet per line; wins pay left to right on consecutive reels.
We recommend switching this option on — it adds a fourth package to the bonus pick and is how the game plays best.
Scatter lanterns pay anywhere, and three or more open the bonus choice.
Take a free-spin package with multipliers, or gamble on the dice game and hunt for frozen 8s.
Lucky 88's bonus is really two features wearing one trigger. Three or more red lanterns present a choice: take one of the free-spin packages, each trading spin count against multiplier size, or step into the dice game — nine dice in a 3×3 grid where every rolled 8 freezes in place, the final count sets your prize, and a centre die can grant extra rolls and multipliers. With the Extra Choice option enabled a fourth package joins the menu, and that is the configuration we recommend playing.
In Chinese culture the number 8 sounds like the word for generating wealth, and Aristocrat built a whole machine on that single pun. Eights are everywhere in Lucky 88 — in the 88x wild multiplier, the 888x five-wild line, the 188x lantern scatter and the dice bonus that literally freezes every 8 you roll. Wrapped around it all are paper lamps, dragons, cranes and the famous man in red on a 5-reel, 25-line layout.
It is a more intricate game than most online slots — the pick-your-bonus structure and dice feature genuinely reward reading the rules first — but the underlying appeal is straightforward: a 97% return, high variance, and multipliers that can turn a routine line hit into something dramatic. The dice game in particular is a bonus you will not find in many other machines.
The free version on this page runs on desktop and mobile with no download, and is the sensible place to learn the rules before taking Lucky 88 to a real-money casino.
The return-to-player rate of Lucky 88 is 97% — comfortably above the typical online-slot average.
Yes. The bonus round lets you choose from three combinations of free spins and multipliers — or four when the Extra Choice option is switched on.
Nine dice roll in a 3×3 grid and every 8 freezes where it lands. The round ends once the 8s are counted and pays according to how many you collected, with the centre die able to add extra rolls and multipliers.
