Fortune Dice takes place in an abstract universe, with a plain deep red background supporting a set of reels and the command bar. The symbols and ornaments around the reels are definitely Chinese, and the red colour is an auspicious symbol as well. Otherwise, Fortune Dice is as sober as it gets and stays clear from most of the stereotypes associated with this particular type of games. Notice the tiny dice rolling with the reels on the right side of the screen.

As a result, Fortune Dice looks different from most Chinese games but is also much less eye-catching. This time, you are going to see past the rather bland looks of the game and really examine the gameplay to realise that Fortune Dice is actually a very original and highly addictive slot game indeed.

Fortune Dice offers players 50 paylines across 5 reels, with a comfortable betting range starting at 5 and going up to 500 credits per spin. Feel free to change your wager as often as you like, but remember that the more you risk, the more you can win. Hold down the spin button to activate the autoplay mode and the reels will keep on spinning for a while.

Fortune Dice has an average volatility and lets you win big or small cash prizes at any time. Luck is the only factor in play here, but we can tell you that the game is dynamic and full of surprises. The top prize is equal to 750 times your wager, with symbols such as card icons, jade amulets, golden coins and other items available on the reels. But we are only looking at the most basic features of Fortune Dice here.

The most important symbol in Fortune Dice is the dragon. As a wild, it can substitute for the other symbols and create combinations of its own, worth up to 2000 times your wager. The dice shown on the right side will roll automatically, and whenever its number matches one on the reels, the corresponding symbol will turn into a new dragon instantly.

The bonus scatters are a little rare, but worth looking after anyhow. Find 3 at the same time to win 7 free spins, with a new dice appearing on the right side. Whenever the number on the 2 dice match, a corresponding multiplier will be applied to your next win. A double 6, however, triggers the Fortune Chance bonus round; pick 2 dice and try to match their numbers to reveal a surprise reward.

You will find a handful of slot games from Aristocrat that are actually based on the same basic settings as Fortune Dice. Werewolf Wild, for instance, offers roughly the same chances of winning and a very similar setup. Note, however, that the game proves more generous in terms of free spins, with up to 28 free games available to the luckiest players.

Dice can be found in other slot games. Often synonymous of higher difficulty and different gameplay, most dice-based slots are best left into the hands of experienced gamblers. Take 100 Dice from EGT, for example, and you will be facing a large, 100-payline setup with high volatility and only a few free spins available to help you out.

To say the truth, Fortune Dice was a good surprise for us. As mentioned above, dice-based slot games might not be everyone’s cup of tea. But Fortune Dice manages to remain accessible, despite its plain look and ultra classic theme. We were pleased to find plenty of original features below the surface.

The inventive dice bonus is a great way to spice up every step of the game. You never know when extra wild dragons will show up, potentially completing a very high-value combination. This alone makes Fortune Dice worth a try, in our opinion. We wouldn’t have said no to more free spins, however.
