Blue Fortune Slot Review

Blue Fortune Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The setup in the Blue Fortune slot is very straightforward. The action plays out on a standard 5 reel, 3 row format with 9 paylines. To create a winning combination, you need to land 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols from left to right on a payline, starting from reel 1.

You can join this ocean quest at stake levels that range from 10p to £100 per spin. To adjust your stake, click on the Total Bet button below the reels then choose from the bet levels shown. Click on the 3 lines in the bottom left-hand corner to open up the paytable. Payout amounts are displayed in cash and change as you adjust your stake. Like most Quickspin releases, it’s all very simple and easy to follow. There’s also a Quick Spin mode and Autoplay function in some countries.

The Blue Fortune RTP is 96.57% which is well above average. The gameplay and layout here might be simple but it can certainly pack a punch. The volatility is very high, coming in at over 9.5 out of 10. The maximum win is 3,111 x your total stake from a series of respins.

Theme – Audio & Design Features – join a motley pirate crew 

Quickspin has kept things quite simple as far as the design of the Blue Fortune slot is concerned. With a pirate theme, behind the reels you’ll see a sunken pirate ship on the ocean floor as well as assorted aquatic flora and fauna. It’s not quite as lavish as some slots in the Quickspin catalogue but there’s a typically fresh and innovative feel to the design.

The reels are made up of lower value skull symbols and the higher value members of the pirate crew. This motley band include Salty, Pegleg, Scarlett and the Captain, Jolly Roger. Jolly Roger is the highest paying symbol giving you 2, 6 or 40 x stake for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.

These colourful crew symbols are done cartoon style and are packed full or detail. They’re joined by the treasure chest which is the game’s scatter symbol. This can trigger the free spins round which we’ll look at shortly.

Blue Fortune has been fully optimised for play on all types of devices including mobiles, desktops and tablets. The simple 5 reel, 9 payline set up is perfect for small screen play. As is the straightforward gameplay and the colourful design. The Blue Fortune mobile slot is very easy to play.

Blue Fortune Bonus Features

Blue Fortune comes with a pair of potentially exciting features. Expect to see streak respins aplenty. The other extras is a classic free spins bonus.

Respin feature

The Respin feature triggers every time you land a winning combination. Those triggering symbols lock in place and the rest of the reels spin again. If any new matching symbols land on the respin, they also lock in position and another respin follows.

The respins keep on coming until there’s one where no new matching symbol or wild joins the original winning cluster. A final payout calculation is then made with all the matching symbols in place.

Free Spins feature

Landing 3 or more scatter symbols during a single game round (that’s the standard spin plus any subsequent respins) trigger the Free Spins feature. Your reward here is 10 free spins.

During the free spins, all the lower value symbols are removed from play. With just higher value symbols in play, you’ll have better opportunities of landing a decent winning combination. The respins are active every time you land a winning combination in the free spins, just like in the base game.

Blue Fortune Review Summary – a cloned pirate adventure

If you’ve played Quickspin’s Aurora Borealis-inspired Northern Sky, you’ll find plenty that’s familiar in the Blue Fortune slot. They have taken the gameplay from the popular 2017 release and given it a pirate makeover here.

The conversion works pretty well too. The design is as easy on the eye as we’ve come to expect from a slot from the Quickspin catalogue. The range of extras on offer here impress too. The respins coming along after every winning spin mean that there’s no shortage of action.

The best winning opportunities come in the free spins as no low value symbols appear. This means the respins will be of higher value. Simple it might be but these pirate waters are pretty choppy when it comes to variance. The volatility is very high indeed with decent max wins of 3,111 x stake available.

If you like the buccaneering theme, 123 Boom by 4ThePlayer offers big potential wins and an innovative gameplay. Another option is Rage of the Seas from NetEnt which comes with up to 5,488 ways to win and 27,440 x stake payouts.
