Fu Fortunes Megaways

Head to the Far East in search for untold reel treasures on the slot from iSoftBet. Fu Fortunes Megaways is part of the growing collection of games the developer is aiming at the Asian market. 3888 Ways of the Dragon, The Great Wall and Prosperity Ox are just some of the prior releases geared more towards our friends on the Asian continent, although they do have a broad appeal for any type of player. On this occasion, they opted for the trademarked game engine from Big Time Gaming and added wild substitutions, cascading symbols, reactive wins, five Fortune Pots, a free spins round and a pick-me bonus game with four fixed jackpots.

Slot Details

Fu Fortunes Megaways is a cascading video slot with six reels and up to 46,656 ways to win. Spinning the lucky reels starts at 0.20 credits and peaks at 20 credits per spin. The game has medium to high variance with an RTP of 96.03%.

At the start of a spin sequence, two to six symbols will drop onto each reel, creating anything from 64 to the max ways. Hit three to six matching symbols on adjacent reels and you have a winner. All symbols in the combo will be removed before new ones drop into the empty spaces, potentially letting you win multiple times within a spin. The cascades continue as long as new wins are occuring.

Loading the game will take you to a traditional Chinese village with red lampions and pagodas flanking the Megaways reels. They are held in a typical wooden temple entrance with the five Fortune Pots on top. To the left are the displays for the four fixed jackpots and the current number of Megaways. An acoustic oriental soundtrack accompanies the usual reel sounds. Strangely, you will hear a part of the Radetzky March when scoring big wins. I wonder who saw an Asian connection between the two main audio parts.

The pay symbols start at the low end with crested card royals from 10 through to A, awarding 0.8x to 1.2x your bet for a single six of a kind. They are followed by a pair of Hong Baos (red packets), tanggu drums, golden fish, golden tortoises and a golden phoenix dragon. Hit six across the reels to win 1.5x to 40x your stake. A Chinese character on a golden gong is the wild symbol, substituting for all regular symbols and also adding coins to the Fortune Pots (more to that shortly). A gree jade piece marked with ‘Bonus’ acts as the scatter.

Fu Fortunes Megaways Slot Features

iSoftBet has been busy to make the best use of their Megaways licence with Fu Fortunes being their fifth release in less than nine months. They dug deep into their creative chest for each to include a number of features and modifiers to deliver an entertaining gaming experience.

At the core on this slot are the Chinese character wilds. They not only perform the usual substitution duties but will appear decorated with lucky charms, which they will send to a random Fortune Pot at the top of the reels. The four smaller pots above reels 1, 2, 5 and 6 can open at any time and award a win multiplier from x2 to x5, providing the potential for a maximum x20 multiplier if all four trigger at the same time. The total multiplier will be applied to the overall win from a spin sequence.

There is one more giant Fortune Pot abeam reels three and four. It will trigger the Pick Me bonus game whenever it opens, replacing the game window with an open scroll holding 12 covered coins. The four fixed jackpots – Mini at 20x, Minor at 50x, Major at x200 and Grand at 1,000x your total bet – will move to the top and you aim will be to find three matching characters by turning one coin at a time to win any of the jackpots.

Having four, five or six jade scatters in view at the end of a spin sequence will trigger 10, 12 and 15 Free Spins, which can be indefinitely retriggered. The major twist for the bonus round is the removal of the card royals for the duration of the feature, leaving only high-value symbols, wilds and scatters on the reels. The multiplier pots and jackpot bonus game can also trigger on any free spin.

Final Verdict

Fu Fortune Megaways is another fine addition to the growing stable of Megaways slots from iSoftBet. The game has ample features and twists that differentiates it not only from their own creations but also from the other 100+ Megaways titles released by other developers. The win potential for a single spin or free spin peaks just below 10,000 times your bet, plenty of reasons for a reel trip to the Far East.
