Play Fantasy Mission Force for Free

RTG (RealTime Gaming) has built a reputation for no-nonsense online slots and games over the years. You won't find too much in the way of 3D graphics or slick animation in an RTG slot. But what you do get is lots of action and some decent bonus games. Players tend not to find branded titles in RTG's back catalog, but all that has changed with Fantasy Mission Force. And as far as movie-themed slots go, it's not a bad effort.

The free Fantasy Mission Force slot machine is squarely aimed at the martial arts and action film fans. It's played on a set of 3x5 reels and has 20 paylines to bet on. Coins start at just 0.01, but the top bet of 5.00 – or 100.00 with all 20 paylines – caters for all gamblers.

Fantasy Mission Force works through a standard desktop browser, but the instant-play game also runs smoothly in a mobile browser. We found the game worked slightly better in portrait rather than landscape orientation.

If you've played a lot of RTG online slot games, you'll know that they usually contain at least one bonus feature. As in the Asian-themed slot Fu Chi, wild symbols also play a significant part in this game. They replace all regular symbols other than the scatters. Not only that, but wilds will double any regular win when one completes a win line.

For regular symbols, players get to see lots of weapons plus images of characters from the film. The telescope and knife pay 5-100x the line bet when you land three to five of a kind. The revolver and crossbow are a little more generous, dishing out 5-200x the line bet. The mortar shells and iron ball complete the low-limit icons, each paying 10-250x.

The high-limits payers in Fantasy Mission Force are all represented by film characters. They all pay out whenever you line up at least two matching symbols on a win line. Jackie Chan as Sammy pays 2-500x the line bet, as does Brigitte Lin's character, Lily. The army commander pays 3-1000x for three to five of a kind, while the Amazon Leader – looking more like a 1970s disco champion – pays the jackpot of 2500x for five of a kind.

Some of those big payouts are decent, but if you can hit a wild or two among the paylines, the jackpots can become absolutely huge.

Watch out for the dynamite scatter symbol. It pays a real cash prize wherever it lands on the reels (1x your line bet for two, up to 200x your line bet for five). One scatter on reel 1 plus a wild symbol on reel 5 will activate a free spins round, with the player winning 7 free spins if this is managed. In addition, all free spins wins are trebled.

In essence, the free spins bonus is like the one in Fu Chi, but the feature can be retriggered in that slot. Fu Chi also has a random progressive jackpot which can trigger at any time, unlike this one. While free spins can't be retriggered in Fantasy Mission Force, there is a fun random feature that can activate during your bonus round. The Kaboom! feature will add a dynamite fuse to some of the symbols on the screen. If you get three or more fuses, they will explode and trigger a further 1-3 free spins per fuse that blows.

What RTG does best is copying its good slot features and replicating them onto other slots. The pirate-themed Goldbeard online slot isn't an exact clone of Fantasy Mission Force, but it comes pretty close. In Goldbeard, the player takes on the role of the dastardly pirate as he goes on some high-seas adventures. There are wilds which double your wins, multipliers on your total bet, and a free spins feature. You can also win one of RTG's random progressive jackpots when you play.

If you prefer to stick with the kung-fu vibe, check out a classic slot based around another martial arts legend. WMS's popular Bruce Lee Dragon's Tale slot deserves to be in a list of the best online slots. There is a free spins bonus round with multipliers galore, but also a unique 4-reel setup where you can play 80 lines at once. The more reel sets you trigger free spins on, the higher your prize multiplier will be. The game is an excellent example of how WMS has become one of the leading slots developers over the decades.

Fantasy Mission Force is a fun movie-themed slot with some very basic thrills. The game will delight fans of Jackie Chan and free spins bonuses alike, but it's a shame there aren’t any actual scenes from Chan's movies themselves (or their appalling dubbing!).

It's a medium-variance online slot overall, but we found the free spins feature retriggering for us occasionally. Give the Fantasy Mission Force video slot a play for free today, and see what you think.
