Fortune Girl
If anime games and far eastern promise float your boat then Fortune Girl slot is the game for you. The wealthy and mysterious girl of the game’s name is a treasure-hoarder with a fortune pile to whet the winning appetite!
The premise of this attention grabbing game is you are in the Fortune Girl’s treasure trove, and you must play to get the gold – adding to your own piles of dosh, or risk increasing the size of hers!
The styling of this game is great for those who are into cute animation and the Japanese style of graphic design. The game’s appearance is very slick (it reminds us of the Six Acrobats slot), with crisp and colourful graphics as expensive as the wealthy Fortune Girl herself! The kitsch and girly styling is well executed, and there’s plenty of pink hearts and gold stars for those into this flirty cartoon look and feel.
There’s no mistaking that you’re in the Far East with the chimes of traditional music mixed with more electronic vibes, but it’s a relaxing sound to play the game to.
Is this a game to get the gold from the Fortune Girl, or end up left with not enough dosh for a fortune cookie? I gave it a spin to find out.
Game play
Fortune Girl has 5 reels, 3 rows and 15 paylines- it’s a mobile first design like the Sugar Parade slot and Six Acrobats.
Those reels are set in the Fortune Girl’s treasure room which is stacked high with shiny goodies, with glimmering golden coins strewn in piles all over the floor – lucky girl!
This game has a high pay out potential with 1800 000 coins up for grabs- that’s the nature of our Fortune Girl- big bucks to win. It reminds me of the Bar Bar Black Sheep slot where you can bag a 999x your stake win.
The high value icons are a mixture of Asian treasures, starting with the main character herself, a pig-tailed anime girl with long lashes and a revealing outfit, a treasure chest bursting with coins, a golden rattle, a traditional tea set, and a jade abacus. The lower value icons are five different colour Chinese characters.
The game’s Wild is the Fortune Girl logo which substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter. The Scatter is a cheeky smiling golden dragon icon, three of these Scatters and you get a very respectable 14 free spins.
Join the mystery?
Fortune Girl has an enjoyable Mystery Symbol, a round golden doorway, which crops up during base and Free Spins game play.
In the base game, the welcome sight of that golden doorway symbol stacks, and can transform into any icon except for the Wild- this simply ups your chances of wins.
Once you move out of the base game and into the Free Spins feature trigger by 3 Scatters, then these Mystery Symbols increase in value and become Super Stacked, and can also turn into Wilds. When you get those Free Spins in action then there is a healthy winning multiplier of up to 5x.
Summary:
Fortune Girl is big on colour and has the right combo of a traditionally themed game mixed with the latest in impressive graphics and smooth design. I’ll admit that anime isn’t my thing, but Microgaming has put together a compelling slot and I was totally into the game’s extras. This is definitely a winner for those who like to pick up and play.
