Chiefs Fortune isn’t Microgaming’s first foray into Native American themed slots and it shows. This slot is far more feature rich when compared to other classic slots because it includes both wilds and a bonus feature. Prizes have also been vastly improved with the possibility of scooping a maximum of 2,000 coins.
Chief’s Fortune Slot Theme
At first glance this slot appears to be just like every other three reel slot. It positions the reels on the left, logo below and paytable on the right. However additional design features include bespoke sound effects, an archery board which doubles as a bonus counter and a dynamic paytable which lights up to mark the prizes on offer.
Reel icons include bar, two bar, three bar, themed squaw 7, chiefs fortune logos and a chief in traditional headdress graphics.
There’s an upbeat sound track which sounds like a large group of Indians performing a ritual such as a rain or fire dance. Certain actions also trigger sound effects such as an arrow twang when a bonus icon appears. Basically the only standard aspect on this slot is the bar symbol, and even that’s been given a gold and red border.
Betting Options and More Functions
Coin values on Chief’s Fortune are fixed at $/£/€1 with a maximum of three coins per line. This means you’ll be betting 1, 2 or 3 £/$/€ with the largest prizes allocated to three coin bets.
Microgaming has included two control panels marked regular (default) and expert. The latter allows you to use automatic spins which we feel is necessary when using a classic slot such as this.
Chiefs Fortune Slot Features
The Chief Graphic is wild for all other symbols except the magic arrow scatter.
The Chiefs Dilemma bonus round is hilarious. After collected five arrows on the target beneath the reels you will be presented with the chief in his undergarments. You press spin and four items of clothing will be placed on him and an instant win paid. Our best combination was an American Footballers helmet, Naval Officers jacket, pink boxer shorts and platform heels - grownups should’t laugh at trivial things like this but we sure found it funny!
Our Take on Chiefs Fortune
Three reel slots aren’t supposed to be this fun! Chiefs Fortune appears to be ordinary from the outset but the addition of wilds and the funny bonus round makes it all the more entertaining. If we were to be really picky we would have preferred a larger betting range because wagers are only suited to mid risk players.
