Lucky Links is a 2019 release from 1×2 Gaming that applies the Hold and Spin respin mechanic to a straightforward 5×3 layout with 20 paylines. The studio arrived at this format during a period when the collect-and-lock style of bonus was spreading rapidly across the industry, and Lucky Links represents 1×2’s considered implementation of the system — built on an accessible grid size and a clear four-tier jackpot structure that gives the feature distinct prize targets to chase.

The base game runs on 20 paylines from $0.10 to $100. Medium volatility characterises the regular spinning, with wins arriving at a rate appropriate to a 20-line game, while the feature does the heavier lifting for session highlights. Coin scatter symbols are the key visual element throughout the base game — they appear regularly but the trigger threshold demands a cluster of six or more, meaning near-misses are a frequent experience that maintains anticipation without feeling manipulative.

Landing six or more coin scatter symbols triggers the Hold and Spin bonus. Coins lock in position, three respins are awarded, and any new coin that lands during the feature also locks in place and resets the counter to three. The coins carry cash values that accumulate across the feature, and four distinct jackpot coin varieties can land to award Mini, Minor, Major, or Grand prizes. Collecting the Grand prize represents the top of the game’s pay structure and requires the most ambitious coin accumulation during the feature. Maximum win is 5,000x the bet.

RTP is 96.00% and volatility is medium.

Lucky Links is a competent and honest entry in the Link and Win genre. The four-tier jackpot structure gives the feature clear hierarchy and escalating excitement as higher-value coins land, and 1×2’s clean presentation keeps the mechanics readable throughout.
