Fortune House Slot

The slot is played on a reel set containing 5 vertical columns and 3 horizontal rows. 20 paylines are structured in various patterns over the reels. To win in this game, you will need to land 3 or more matching symbols over one of the pay patterns, from left to right. The betting scope is very broad and allows you to play from as little as 0.20 coins. The 500-coin maximum cap means that players with any sized budget can take advantage of the Chinese luck packed into this game offering.

The game sports a return to player rating of between 95% and 96% and is set to play out with a low to medium variance. This means that you will not have big gaps between wins, but the value of the rewards are on the lower side.

Game Controls

Red Tiger Gaming has a name for free and uncluttered gaming interfaces. The focal point is always and should always be the reel set.

Basic functions available at a quick glance, is your bet adjusters, an autoplay function, turbo function, and spin button.

The Turbo switch allows for faster gaming. When toggled, the reels will spin faster and halt with a much shorter delay. This is very handy when you are in a hurry to play. The auto spin function will take the reigns from you so that you do not have to click on the spin button after every roll. Now, the machine can be pre-set to automate continuous spins. Fine tuning can be done to limit losses and to stop when wins of a certain amount are made.

Fortune House Theme, Soundtrack, and Symbols

This visuals in this particular Red Tiger Gaming title are a little simpler than many of the other games from their stable. There are no fancy graphics or backgrounds. Red and gold are the dominant colours on show, which always speak of fortune and luck.

The graphics presented in the game belong to that of the reel symbols. There are therefore no distractions to draw your eye from the place where all the action comes from. Each roll of the reels intros a gentle Asian styled melody which is quite in keeping with the theme of the game.

Of course, the game symbols hold all of the enchantment in the game, and there sure are a lot of them. The lower value symbols are represented by common card deck icons (10, J, Q, K, and A). This wispy Asian style of design is used by the game maker in several of their slot games.

The higher value standard symbols include pure gold items, such as a Golden Buddha, Golden Shield/Medallion, Golden Koi Fish, and a Golden Dragon.  The highest paying symbol here is the Buddha, who offers up to 300 times your line stake if landed on a payline in fives.

The Wild symbol is a red and gold logo with Chinese writing on it and the word “WILD” embossed over it. This symbol has the unique ability to substitute for all of the standard game symbols in order to assist in completing winning combinations.

The game symbols don’t end here though. There are 4 special bonus symbols. The icons include the Fortune Tree icon, Dragon Wheel icon, Mystery Win icon, and Fortune Respin icon. Each of these symbols is key to triggering a special base game feature and is represented by Asian imagery to fit in with the overall story of the slot.

Special Features

As stated above, there are 4 special features made available in this game, which are randomly triggered in the base gameplay. Unfortunately, there is no dedicated free spin bonus round, but the Fortune respins can offer you wins that are just as exciting.

Fortune Respins

This feature is triggered when landing the 2x2 fortune respin symbol on the reels. The icon will freeze in place and the reels will respin a random amount of times (most often twice) to yield extra wins.

Mystery Win

This is triggered when the golden frog tile arrives on the reels. The game will then add extra symbols to the reels to try and make bigger wins for you.

Dragon Wheel

If the wheel lands on the reels a pointer will spin and stop. Wherever the pointer lands will reveal a win multiplier that will apply to your stake in order to boost wins to your bankroll.

Fortune Tree

When the tree dressed in coins lands, random symbols will be replaced by others over the reels for a greater chance at winning big rewards.

Jackpots

A good jackpot/jackpot-slots is often a good indicator of decent payouts throughout the game. The top prize in this slot title is 500 times your line stake. This is won if you land 5 WILD icons over one single payline. If the maximum bet of 500 coins is in play, your 25 coins per line wager will win you a 12,500 coin win.

Fortune House Slot Verdict

This game is designed expressly for beginner slot players, as the low variance will not appeal much to high rollers and veterans who are on the prowl for bigger winning opportunities. The graphics are good, though the simple background is a little bland in this case and could have benefited from some additional design modifications.

Though there is no free spin game on offer, it is not missed very much because of the fact that there are 4 pleasing features available to keep the level of entertainment up. The wins that are ushered through by these features are nothing to turn your nose up at.
