NetEnt’s first release of 2019 comes in the form of an art nouveau inspired online slot named Turn Your Fortune. This game has been jam packed with bonus features and enticing regular play attractions to satisfy almost all slots enthusiasts. However, has NetEnt delivered a perfect game, or is there still a bit to be desired? Read our comprehensive review to find out.
There are quite a few features in Turn Your Fortune, some of which are a little difficult to understand but supply lovely payouts regardless. Free spins, re-spins and multipliers are all there for the taking. This is a NetEnt title, so expect the most defined graphics on the market while the game play is seamless with zero lag. The mobile version of the game is just as good as the desktop, which will delight iGamers with a preference for playing while out and about. To the left of the reels you’ll notice a rotating cylindrical device which is where it gets a little convoluted, but we’ll discuss its purpose a little later.
Turn Your Fortune is a high variance slot, which can be frustrating, although there is an RTP of 96.24% to ease that aspect. This game was built for high rollers with a maximum bet of £200 per spin, while you’ll find a potential 2000x multiplier to create a whopping £400,000.00 jackpot. This is all presuming you like going all in, but for those who want to take it a little easier they can start the betting at £0.20 per spin. This amount won’t win you the big bucks, so look at moving your spin amounts up as you get more confident.
It’s quite common for gaming software providers to develop games with an equal number of lower paying symbols to higher paying symbols. In many cases there are more lower paying symbols. NetEnt has been generous enough to provide more higher than lower paying symbols. There are 4 symbols in the lower category, which are your standard playing cards J, Q, K and A. The higher paying symbols are art nouveau inspired, and quite attractive to say the least. From lowest to highest in value there’s a snail, a fish, a turtle, an owl and a lion. The lion will return a potential 200x your bet if you manage to get 5 lining up on the reels.
There are 3 bonus symbols to keep your eyes peeled for, starting with the wild symbol. This is a butterfly inspired design and will act as a substitute for all regular icons to form a winning line. There is also a scatter symbol that will take you to the bonus games, while the last symbol to look out for is a key.
There are 2 bonus games to put you in with a chance of winning mega payouts. It is important to note that both of these features make use of what is called the ‘Fortune Wins’ system. This is where the contraption to the left of the reels comes in. It serves as a multiplier and for this feature to work you need to collect symbols and land the key symbol.
The first feature you can trigger is the re-spins. This is done by landing 2 scatters on the reels, upon which the game will select one random symbol to be the only one that spins. This symbol will be a collectable symbol, and once you collect 20 symbols the feature will end. The structure to the left of the reels will reveal the multiplier you are in for. During the re-spins, should you land a key symbol on the 5th reel you will be moved into a bigger multiplier category. There are 5 categories, with the biggest being the 2000x multiplier.
Should you land 3 scatters you’ll activate the free spins. Once this happens you’ll be taken to a wheel that will determine the amount of spins you get, plus which symbol is the collectable one and which category of the Fortune Wins you’ll start on. It can take a bit of time to get used to this feature, but once the player gets the hang of it they will see the massive value it holds.
Don’t be daunted by what sounds like more trouble than it’s worth. Unfortunately the game needs to be played to understand the full scope, as a review can’t provide the full experience. The multiplier potential in Turn Your Fortune online slot is something to behold, and it is brought to you with a free spins and re-spins feature. NetEnt has started 2019 with a serious bang, and if this is how the year is starting we can’t wait to see what payout potential matches it, or even exceeds it, as the year progresses.
