Play The Fates for Free

Whether you believe in fate or not, this mystical slot machine is a pleasure to behold thanks to some stunning visual design from IGT's software team. To match the theme of fate and destiny, this slot machine is set within a cosmic environment, sparkling with stars and clouds of interstellar matter. The reels are presented within a magnificently ornate frame while the symbols feature some amazingly captivating elemental gems. Plus, as the reels spin, players will be treated to a serene series of musical sounds to transport them far away into a new galaxy of winning opportunities.

The game also incorporates three female characters – The Fates themselves. These three lucky ladies aren't featured within reel symbols, but they do come into play with the slot machine's special “Lucky Spot” element. On the central reel of the game, players will find a looking glass style icon. You can slide this up and down the three reel positions in an attempt to catch the golden orb icon, which only appears on the third reel. Should players successfully capture the orb with the Lucky Spot symbol, then the whole of reel 3 will become an extended wild while one of the following three bonus features will be played:

Now that you know a bit about how this slot machine works, we had better give you a low-down of the game's payout schedule. Each win is awarded whenever a series of three or more of the same symbol appears on one of the 27 fixed paylines. This will award a multiplier prize that is applied to the value of the wager on the winning line, as you can see in the table below:

As well as providing the highest paying wins in the base game, the wild icon will also help players to fill in those winning sequences by substituting for all normal paying icons. Plus, the golden orb symbol, which appears on reel 3, will take on wild characteristics whenever it appears but doesn't land in the “Lucky Spot” position.

The Fates is filled with unique bonus perks, but players can also benefit from some classic video slot features such as some good old free spins. This bonus round will begin whenever three or more “Bonus” scatter symbols appear in any reel position on the reels. Players will then be asked to select their “Lucky Spot” on reel 3 for the duration of the free spins, allowing players to catch more golden orbs. Plus, should a “Bonus” scatter land in the selected position, an additional orb will be made available, improving your chances of triggering on of the three lady luck bonus elements.

For a video slot with such a simple theme, The Fates sure does provide a lot of entertaining spinning action. The game is designed to a very high standard with plenty of spectacular imagery to captivate the imagination. What's more, players can take fate into their own hands with a chance to capture the lucky orb for bonus rewards.
