Fortune Spells

When was the last time you have been enchanted? Usually when we fall in love, we feel as if we are under a spell, but that is just one example. EGT created a video slot called Fortune Spells and it is designed to bring you luck!

Theme

Magic is quite intriguing and we will let you be the judge of whether or not it exists in this world. One thing is for sure – it exists in this release. Magic and spells are the main theme and with the green color which dominates in the background and on the reels, it is not hard to conclude that a mysterious world is now available to us mortals.

The reels and the symbols are quite large and they come in different colors. Standard symbols from 10 to A are used and these are quite simple. However, players will encounter mushrooms, a dwarf, a fairy and a wizard and their design is on a high level.

What’s odd?

Curiously enough, the background music doesn’t exist! No, my settings aren’t on mute, I’ve checked it twice. There are sounds when you spin the wheel and when there is a winning combination on a payline. Music can add value to the game or reduce it, depending on the quality of it. This is neither an advantage nor disadvantage and it is just a matter of tastes.

Betting Options and Other Functions

Fortune Spells shows 3 rows and 5 reels. The maximum number of paylines is 10, but if you want to reduce them, you can choose 7, 5, 3 or just one payline. You can wager between 1 and 200. Major winnings are potential during the bonus rounds, which we will mention later on.

This game is somewhat different when it comes to “button placement” and the entire organization of controls. The paylines are presented on the sides of the reels and clicking on the number of a desired payline will make the change.

However, underneath the reels things might become slightly confusing… Winnings are exhibited in the right corner and they are clearly visible. In the center, five betting options are aligned. Clicking on one of these five options, which numbers change depending on the number of paylines you selected, will spin the wheel. That is right - a spin button is not featured here! But with the balance presented in the left corner, everything is neatly organized.

Features

This title has several unique features that give it heart and soul. Who said that a unicorn doesn’t exist? It does and it comes in a form of the wild symbol! It replaces any other icon on the reels, but if you see three or more, you will be awarded with 12 free spins.

However, before this feature starts, a gaming symbol will be assigned to you randomly and it will be used as the expanding icon during extra rounds.

Should you win less than 3500, don’t despair. A “Gamble” feature is installed as well, meaning that you can gamble any win less than the indicated number. Press “Gamble” and the playing cards will pop up on your screen! It is a basic red and black game and if you are lucky enough, you will double your income.

Last but not least, Jackpot Cards is a mystery jackpot consisting of four levels, each illustrated by a card suit. This bonus is triggered randomly after the game is finished and winnings collected. 12 Cards are facing down and you select them until you match 3 symbols. The qualifying bets range from 0 to 1000 and there is reasonable chance to win the highest level of the jackpot!

Our take on Fortune Spells

With a bunch of authentic and innovative bonus rounds, Fortune Spells should be at the top of the list of your favorite slots. Graphics are satisfactory and it is a true joy playing this game. What bothered me is the lack of a spin button, but getting used to this doesn’t take a lot of time.
