Fate of Fortune Slot Review

Fate of Fortune Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The setup in the Fate of Fortune slot is rather unusual. The action takes place on reels that are 5x3x1x3x5 row high that combine for 81 paylines. This is a win both ways game so you can start a winning combination from reel 5 as well as reel 1. Landing 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols or wilds across a payline delivers a winner.

Bet levels here range from between 20p and £100 per spin. Click on the coins icon then choose from the 12 different levels. Head to the settings then click on the trophy icon to open the Paytable. Payout amounts are displayed in cash and relate to your current stake level.

The Fate of Fortune RTP is 95% which is a little below average. It also seems to be the trend from ELK Studios. The hit frequency rate is 24.3% meaning just under a quarter of spins will result in a winning combination.

Medium to high variance (8/10), the most you can win from a single spin here is 10,000 x your total stake. At the top bet level, that’s a maximum win of £1 million.

Theme – Audio & Design Features – join a mysterious seer

Like most titles in the ELK Studios catalogue, the design in the Fate of Fortune slot is excellent. With a fortune theme, you will see a mysterious clairvoyant holding a crystal ball behind the reels. As you’ll discover below, this can trigger an array of modifier extras.

The visuals here are all rather tastefully done. Likewise, the haunting choral soundtrack. This is a slot that’s packed full of atmosphere.

The reels are made up of A, K and Q gemstone symbols and Ladies in green, blue and red costume. The lady in red is the most rewarding symbol, paying 2 x your total stake if you land 5 across a payline. There are also wilds, Mystery Symbols and Bonus symbols which can deliver extras.

You can play Fate of Fortune on all devices including desktop and laptop computers, tablets and mobiles. They all offer the same blend of atmospheric design and variety of features. ELK Studios is a mobile-first provider meaning they cater to mobile and tablet gameplay primarily.

Fate of Fortune Bonus Features

If you enjoy slots that come with plenty of variety then you’ve come to the right place. With 8 bonus features, Fate or Fortune is packed full of extras and modifiers.

Expanding Wilds feature

These special wilds can appear on reels 2 and 4 only. Instead of expanding vertically, the wilds expand 1 reel horizontally toward the outer reel. In doing so, you’re guaranteed to create a winning combination. This is known as the Expanding Wilds feature.

Mystery Symbols feature

The ? Mystery Symbols can land anywhere on the reels apart from reel 3. These all transform into the same matching symbol at the end of a spin and a new payout consideration is made. This is called the Mystery Symbols feature.

Fortune’s Favor features

Below the reels, you’ll see a crystal ball. The crystal ball can whir into life at random and deliver 1 of the following bonus features:

• Lady Swap feature: all the Lady symbols on the reels transform into the activated Lady.
• Multiplier feature: win multiplier is applied to your win on this spin. This can boost payouts by up to 50x.
• Walking Wild feature: a wild is added to reel 3. A respin follows with the wild splitting in 2 and moving to reels 2 and 4. The respins continue until the wilds have walked off the reels. It’s possible to land other Fortune’s Favour features while the Walking Wilds are active.
• Locked Wild feature: once again, a wild is added to reel 3. This time it’s locked in place. A respin is awarded. If you don’t land a winner, a multiplier increases by 1. This process is repeated until you finally do form a winning combination. You can land the Multiplier and the Lady Swap modifiers in combination with the Locked Wild.

Free Spins feature

Trigger the Free Spins feature by landing 3 or 4 Bonus symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. Trigger with 3 Bonus symbols and you’ll start the round with 1 Mystery Stack which can appear anywhere apart from the middle reel. With 4 triggering bonus symbols, you’ll begin with 2 Mystery Stacks. In both cases, the starting multiplier is 1x.

The Mystery Stack will begin on the highest position on its reel before nudging down 1 position on each free spin that follows. Each nudge increases the value of the win multiplier by 1.  It’s possible to land new Mystery Stacks during the free spins, too.

They also nudge down, increase the multiplier and add extra free spins to your total. The feature ends when there are no more Mystery Symbols left on the reels.

X-iter feature

Newer ELK Studios slots have an X-iter feature. Unfortunately now available to UK players, there are 5 different game modes to choose from. Costing from 5 to 500 x stake, here’s what they offer:

Fate of Fortune Review Summary – top design + good variety of bonus features

Quality design and a good collection of extras is usually a solid combination and that’s exactly what’s on offer in the Fate of Fortune slot. The design/soundtrack is mesmerising and enchanting which adds to the intensity and experience.

The Fortune’s Favor features come along regularly enough to keep the base game action ticking over nicely. The best of them is the Multiplier feature as a multiplier up to 50x can be applied to your win.

I like the heavy metal music that plays when you get a big win. It’s brash, loud but somehow works. The Free Spins feature is very hit and miss though. Land enough Mystery Stacks and the multiplier can rise to a high level.

The RTP rate of 95% is a bit underwhelming, but that aside, there’s plenty to like about Fate of Fortune. I suggest you try other ELK Studios slots with Nitropolis 2 and Katmandu Gold their 2 best titles in my opinion.
