Fortune Day Slot Machine

It must be increasingly difficult for online slot machine developers to come up with something completely new, but Playtech seem to have pulled off the impossible with their Fortune Day video slot, which treats players to improved features over any 5 consecutive days of spinning the reels on this Irish themed game.

Yes, it’s another game filled with leprechauns, pots of gold and shamrocks, which some players can’t get enough of, and others can’t get away from fast enough, but keep reading this review, as Fortune Day is unique enough to appeal to anyone, whether they like the theme or not.

This mobile optimised casino slot machine is a bright and welcoming sight, where the 5 reels each contain 3 symbols and 20 paylines run from the left to the right. Behind them, we see rolling green fields, hills and waterfalls, so all that’s missing to complete the scene is a rainbow, but the traditional Irish-style music that plays along in the background certainly adds to the atmosphere.

A Land o’ Winning Symbols

Although all 20 paylines are active at all times, you can adjust the stake on each from as little as 0.01 to as much as 100.00 giving you a huge bet range from 0.20 to a high limit of 2000.00 per spin, or you could simply test the game out and play free Fortune Day video slots if you wish. There’s an Autoplay facility that spins the reels for up to 99 times, or until the main feature starts, and you could go for Turbo mode if you just wanted to get to the results of a spin in as little time as possible.

Playing card symbols are all in a Celtic font and you will need to land 3 of a kind across a payline on adjacent reels from the left to get paid for a win. Prize range from 3, 20, or 100 times the line stake when the 10 is across the reels, to 15, 75, or 300 for the A, which also awards 5x when it’s on just 2 reels.

The higher-paying picture symbols are also worth prizes when landing on just 2 reels on a line, and these golden items include the inevitable shamrock, or four-leaf clover, that’s worth between 2 and 400 times the line stake, an acorn that’s valued at up to 500x and a gold and purple ladybird, which pays out a top prize of 100x the line bet.

Wild Leprechaun Rewards

Any Irish-themed online casino slot needs at least one leprechaun, so the Fortune Day video slot gives this cheery chap the job of wild symbol, able to act as others to complete win-lines, while also being the most rewarding symbol of the game when he makes up a line on his own.

There’s prizes of between 10x and a massive 10,000x the line bet depending on how many reels he’s on, although the wild won’t be able to replace the scatter or bonus symbols.

Better Rewards by the Day

The scatter symbol is simply a big gold coin and as the name suggests, it can be scattered anywhere to pay out a prize. As usual with these symbols, the reward will be a multiple of the total bet, not just the amount wagered on a line, and in this slot machine, anyone seeing 5 or more scatters at once will be able to cash out a win of 50x the stake.

But the real reason we are looking at Fortune Day is the unique free spins bonus feature. It’s triggered in a perfectly conventional way, by a pot of gold landing on reels 1 and 5 at the same time, but it all gets a little unusual from here. If you are playing for the first time, or you’ve had a break of more than a day from this slot, just 8 free games will be awarded each time you trigger the round.

But play again within 24 hours and every time the free games are awarded, you will be able to enjoy 10 spins, and play on the very next day to get 12 free spins each time. There’s 15 and 18 spins on days’ 4 and 5, staying at the maximum on any consecutive day after, but going right back to 8 spins if you miss a days’ play. No matter what stage you are at, there’s pots of gold to pick before the bonus games commence, with multipliers of 3x, 5x, 6x, 7x or 8x hidden within them, and it’s still possible to retrigger the spins if the bonus symbol stops on reels 1 and 5 again.

The Blarney on Fortune Day

You’ve got to admire Playtech for coming up with something new and original. It reminds us of their Everybody’s Jackpot slot machine which managed the same when it was released, paying a percentage of the progressive jackpot to everyone who had played in the last 24 hours, so clearly this developer is good at lateral thinking.

While some punters won’t like the overused theme, Playtech have made the online casino game to appeal to the widest possible audience, which is something we can’t really blame them for, and it fully deserves the attention.
