Wilds of Fortune is not the first fruit-themed slot machine launched this year, there are always new titles being released with this sort of design. However, Betsoft did a good job implementing some modern features as well, so it’s still worth checking out.
Set on the casino floor, the machine that incorporates the 5 reels of Wilds of Fortune will have a total of 10 paylines. There aren’t any big prizes for you to claim though, at most 500x the stake being paid. On the other hand, the RTP is good, at 96.33%. A couple of features that they decided on including, and which are nice, include the expanding wilds, along with respins and prize-paying scatters.
Betting and Prizes
A smaller bet placed in the Wilds of Fortune slot is going to require at least $0.20 per spin. It may go up from there, it’s entirely up to you, with the max limit being $10.
Regular wins coming from combinations could pay up to 25x the stake per line, and 250x total per spin. With the help of respins, the game will pay as much as 500x the stake (top jackpot announced by the developer). It’s not much, but the volatility isn’t high either. What you want to see, is a decent RTP, and this game gives you that (it’s 96.33%).
Wilds of Fortune Game Features
The features they chose for Wilds of Fortune aren’t particularly impressive, and they’re not unique to this slot either. However, they’re solid options for a slot machine that’s coming with a retro fruit theme, it certainly belongs to the modern genre from this point of view.
First of all, there is a Diamond Wild, used as an expanding symbol on reels 2, 3, and 4. Whenever a Diamond appears on one of these symbols, it expands and takes it completely over. The wild will then be part of all active lines and potential combinations, quite useful since it’s a substitute for the regular symbols.
The appearance of at least one Diamond Wild will also result in a free respin every single time it happens. The wild remains sticky on its reel, fully expanded, and then respins continue until you get a win. If you don’t form winning combinations, the free respins don’t stop. It’s possible to get additional expanding wilds as well, which also become sticky.
While there are Money Bag scatters present on all reels, there are no additional features to be gained from them. Having 3 to 5 of them visible at the same time would pay 5x to 50x the stake.
Theme & Design
It’s not just the fruit theme that will remind you of the classic slot machines. The background, even though it’s not a clear image, shows the floor of a casino, with rows of slots placed on both sides. The style of the design is also leaning to the retro side, with the look of the symbols being similar to what you’d get from older machines.
The symbols showing up will range from cherries, grapes, and melons, to golden bells, Bar logos, blue 7s, and Triple Red 7s. As feature symbols, there is a Money Bag (scatter) and a Diamond (wild).
Conclusion
All in all, Wilds of Fortune is a nice blend between the classic slot machine (visually) and the modern ones (feature-wise). It’s the type that doesn’t pay too much, but it’s not an issue since the volatility is lower as well.
It is impossible to guarantee victory. But you can maximize your chances: check the RTP level in your casino, get bonuses, play at stakes you can afford.
