Wins of Fortune Slot

Kung Fu meets the animal kingdom in this action-packed Asian oriental theme. Many martial arts styles have derived from various animal movements over the centuries, but this game takes this practice to a different level. Join our primate hero as he heads east in search of a fight.

Every Kung Fu master will tell you that you ought to find inner peace before you fight your fiercest foes, hence the tranquil feel to the game. The serene scenery of towering cliffs, ancient temples and still seascape is supported by gentle oriental tunes, combining pipes, chimes and other traditional instruments.

The symbols all bolster the theme of the slot, with high paying symbols including characters from this legendary epic. These include: The red ape hero, a country farmer pig character, a giant blue warrior with his blade, and finally a red adorned nobleman. When you take a look at the symbols and the surroundings, one cannot help but think of the similarities that can be noticed and compared to ‘The Journey to the West’ online slot, by Genesis Gaming, whose hero is also a round house kicking monkey.

The lower paying symbols are indicative of the fact that there are treasures to be won on the mystical reels. These symbols include 5 coloured gems, in royal blue, sky blue, turquoise, jade green, and pink.

Unlike many other Quickspin games that generally have scatter/bonus symbols and a wild icon, this game only has a wild. This symbol is represented by a maroon tile, with the words, “WILD” embossed on it in gold. This icon will substitute for any of the game symbols to complete combinations and bring in wins to boost your bankroll.

Special Features

At first glance, you may notice that there is no free spins bonus game available in this ensemble. Normally, you would move onto the next title, and we would be okay with it, but not with this game. If you move on and miss the chance of experiencing the ‘kick’ that these mysterious reels can give, then you will be the poorer for it. There is only one bonus feature available in ‘Wins of Fortune’, but it can be quite potent one, as it progresses through various levels of entertainment.

Increasing Reels and Added Respins

Every time that you land a winning combination on the reels, you will set an action-packed chain reaction. A respin will be granted, but first the reels will shift from right to left, forcing the smaller reels into oblivion and replacing them with bigger 5 stack reels on the right. What’s more is that the winning combination symbols will stay in place for each respin. Should another combo be formed, the reels will shift again, forcing the smaller reels on the left to disappear, only to be replaced with a 5-high stack on the right again. By the fourth respin, the reel set will be 5X5 in size, and a full 259 paylines will be registered to grant wins.

Super Re-Spin

Once the fourth respin in a row is awarded, the game will set a ‘Super Spin’ in motion on the 5X5 grid. All previous wins will stay in place on the reels and the respins will continue until there are no more wins to be made.

As the respins take place and the reel set grows, so do the number of paylines:

• Base Game – 76 Ways to win
• First Respin – 90 Ways to win
• Second Respin – 154 Ways to win
• Third Respin – 164 Ways to win
• Fourth Respin – 259 Ways to win
• Super Respin – 259 Ways to win

It is not uncommon to win 15x to 20x your bet if you make it all the way, but that is okay, as the respins will trigger far more frequently than free spin bonuses ever will.

Jackpot

Unfortunately, in this department, there is nothing much to write home about. 5 Monkey symbols across consecutive reels will win you a mere 2.5x jackpot. That means that if you are playing on the maximum wager of 100 coins, your haul will be 250 coins. The lack of juice here is made up for by the respin action offered on the reels. Here a maximum win on a single spin could win you up to 2,757 coins!

Game Verdict

There are few games with fast and furious reels like this game; perhaps a close call would be ‘Reel Rush’ by NetEnt. If you played that game, and enjoyed its pace, then this title is a sure-fire winner.

Once again, do not let the fact that it is missing a free spin bonus game put you off, as the integrated reel rave and respins will keep the heart pounding. We find that ‘Wins of Fortune’ definitely carries great entertainment value.
