How lucky are you feeling in 2025? If you want to try and get lucky, particularly in the casino, we can help with that! Although online gambling outcomes are literally all about luck (thanks to the Random Number Generator controlling the results of every game), that doesn’t stop players from trying to exert a little control, either in the form of lucky charms, rituals, or other superstitious beliefs.

While having a rabbit’s foot or a four-leaf clover with you while you gamble can be kind of adorable, do these tokens and symbols actually work? Can a horseshoe really help you get lucky and can a lucky cat really attract prosperity? Well, let’s take a look at some of the most popular good luck charms used in online gambling. And see how effective they really are.

Get Lucky with Four-leaf Clovers

It’s pretty much one of the most globally recognized symbols of good luck. And it’s at this iconic status for a reason. With its roots in Irish folklore and tradition, the four-leaf clover was historically thought to have protective qualities, with druids believing it had the power to ward off evil spirits. Each of its four leaves is said to represent a different blessing: faith, hope, love, and luck.

Never mind using a four-leaf clover as a lucky charm. Even just finding one is a great way to get lucky, as the chances of finding a genuine four-leaf clover are approximately 1 in 5,000, making it a rare find. Small wonder its reputation for luck soon spread beyond Ireland’s borders to the rest of the world.

Now for the million-dollar question though – do they actually work? As you’d imagine, there’s no scientific proof to show that four-leaf clovers are actually lucky talismans, but if you believe in the power of the clover and carry one with you when you gamble, you might just get lucky. That same positive energy could translate into positive outcomes too. All it takes is a little luck, and a little clover!

Get Lucky with Horseshoes

We know that horseshoes are lucky charms. But why, exactly? Just like the four-leaf clover, the lucky origins of horseshoes trace back centuries, to ancient Europe and the art of blacksmithing.

At the time, iron was a protection against evil spirits. With iron horseshoes said to be especially lucky due to the protection they offered to horses, which were hugely important to survival in agricultural societies.

Today, horseshoes are still lucky. With their shape and placement associated with good fortune to this day. Just remember to hang the horseshoe in the shape of a ‘U’. Otherwise all the luck will spill out! If you’re hoping to get lucky, having a horseshoe keyring or symbol with you while you gamble might be worth a try.

The Number 7

Ever heard of the phrase ‘lucky number 7’? And ever wondered why the number 7 often shows up on classic fruit machines and retro slots? It’s because the number 7 is traditionally lucky across a wide range of cultures. Bringing with it specific spiritual and mystical significance.

In Western culture, its roots can be traced back centuries, to the traditions of having 7 days in a week, 7 colors in the rainbow, 7 wonders of the ancient world, and more. Similarly in Christianity, the number 7 appears often in the Bible, said to be linked to divine perfection. And in numerology, the number 7 represents wisdom and spiritual awakening, amongst other things.

With so much history and legend behind it, it’s no wonder that the number 7 is the one that was chosen to appear in traditional slots games. Finding a triple 7 on the reels could be your chance to truly get lucky. If 7 feels like your lucky number, embracing it while gambling could bring the confidence you need to make the most of your gaming session.

Maneki-Neko (Lucky Cat)

You’re probably more familiar with the Maneki-Neko than you think you are. If you’ve ever seen a golden cat waving or beckoning to you with one paw in a store or someone’s home, congratulations. You’ve encountered the Maneki-Neko. And it might help you get lucky!

As a traditional Japanese charm, this waving lucky cat brings wealth and prosperity. A belief dating back as far as Japan’s Edo period (1603–1868). The cat raises a paw, and it brings more customers. While its right paw brings wealth. Even its actual color represents different meanings. With gold for prosperity, black for protection, and white for happiness.

While it’s impossible to prove whether or not the Maneki-Neko actually brings luck. It’s such a cheerful symbol on its own that having it in your home or as a talisman could help you channel the positive energy you’re looking for. If you’re ready to get lucky, this waving cat could be the perfect partner for your gambling adventures.

The Role of Superstition in Online Gambling

As we’ve said with every entry, while there’s no verifiable proof that good luck tokens or rituals like wearing specific clothing or playing at a specific time can actually increase your luck. They can give you a significant confidence boost that can be very welcome at the casino. If you’re looking to get lucky, bringing your favorite rabbit’s foot, horseshoe, four-leaf clover, or other lucky charm into a gambling session can be a fun way to channel positive energy. Remember, the more positivity you bring, the better your gaming experience could be. Good luck!
