Fu Fortunes Megaways

If iSoftBet could boast one speciality, then...

...it’s Asian slots!

They have brought all of their expertise to bear on Fu Fortunes Megaways, which is an absolute Eastern extravaganza. 

This is the developer’s fourth run with the popular Megaways game engine (read more) https://casinoslots.net/articles/what-are-megaways-slots on license from Big Time Gaming. 

The title has the usual big game area and excellent rewards that these kinds of games have become known for, along with several features that will help keep things exciting.

It is a 6x6 title, with up to 46,656 Megaways, a type of setup that is quite powerful, especially when coupled with...

...Cascading Reels, multipliers, wild symbols and free spins! 

Experience the wonder and delights of the orient & earn some nice prizes!

Theme & Design

This Chinese-themed game is played using a 6 reel machine with not a typical arrangement of rows that shift between two and seven.

Instead, iSoftBet is keeping it simple, or simpler, with a cascading wins payout system that can generate up to 46,656 ways to win on a reel-set of three rows!

Just like Egypt titles can’t avoid including scarabs and deities, China-themed ones can’t have any other colour layout but deep, crimson red.

Set against a backdrop of traditional red, pagoda-style buildings and swaying lanterns, the deep red reels are full of richly detailed symbols, with...

...even the lower value A to 10 royals being ornate and dripping in gold.

They’re joined by a money wallet, a drum and a trio of gold animal statues. 

The title is also fully animated and lively. 

The high-class imagery is matched by the classical soundtrack that is a perfect fit for this theme!

Betting Options

The payable sees the lower value symbols made up of the royal cards 10 through to the Ace, with pays ranging from 0.1x, up to 1.2x on offer when wins are formed through them. 

Higher value symbols are reserved for the hongbao, tanggu, golden fish, turtle dragon, and golden sunbird, where...

...a 6 of a kind win pay 1.5x, 1.5x, 2x, 5x, and 40x respectively.

The Fu symbol (in Chinese characters) is the Wild, assisting players in making combinations by substituting for any regular pay symbol while appearing on reels 2-5 only. 

Spinning the reels on this Oriental-themed game can cost from as little as €0.20 a spin, with the highest bet on the slot reaching up to €20 a play. 

Not quite so large, but decent all the same, is the RTP rating of 96.03% combined with a medium-high setting.

As expected, the developer has included the Cascading Wins mechanic...

...a useful feature that removes winning symbols from the reels, allowing others to cascade into the gaps. 

Multiple wins are possible on a single spin using this method as consecutive winners cascade one after the other, and...

...as long as three or more matching symbols land consecutively, in any row, left to right they constitute a payout.

Special Features

Not only does the wild symbol do its substituting thing, but…

...each time it lands, coins are added to one of the Fortune Pots above the reels. 

Pots can be triggered at any time, applying a multiplier of up to x5 to the current win or cascade series, and...

...if more than one multiplier is awarded at the same time, their values are added together up to x20.

With the scatter symbol Jade showing up on the reels, 4 to 6 times, you get between 10 and 15 free spins. 

These are even better than the base game rounds since only high-value symbols remain, and the chances of forming combinations go up considerably!

Finally, a Bonus game is also available...

...when the middle pot is triggered at random.

Here, players pick coins until 3 matching Fu babies are revealed to win one of the Jackpots. 

There are four to cross your fingers for: the Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand jackpots worth 20x, 50x, 200x, or 1,000x respectively!

Wrapping Up

The Fu Fortunes Megaways mobile game is very nicely done with...

...terrific sounds and visuals even on a small screen.

The potential to win up to 25,000x the stake makes this game one of the better options for those that can take on its higher volatility, especially since ultimately the RTP is still at a pretty good 96%.

All in all, the look and feel of every new iSoftBet's game is phenomenal, as...

...they play like a breeze, and the new interface is superb. 

Also, the Megaways game engine and the way they’ve utilized it, has probably helped tremendously as well.
