Lady of Fortune Online Slot Machine
This slot had me scratching my head. The title ‘Lady of Fortune’ alludes to a fortune teller, and most of the symbols denote luck. There is also a ladybird included, which is the puzzler for me, is this additional ‘lady’ just another luck symbol? This is a nicely produced game without too many features to interrupt your play. It has the unique system where winning combinations do not have to start in the left hand reel. You can get wins of 4 symbols starting on reel 2 and of 3 symbols starting on reel 3. There are also multiplier wilds, which give your bankroll the occasional big boost.
While it is tidy and professional, there is nothing visually stunning in this game. The reels sit over a translucent background and include bright shading. There are animations, for example stars coming from the lady of fortune herself when she lands and the light effects on the dice dancing when they are involved in a win. Symbols include the 4-leaf clover, shooting stars, lucky horseshoe and rabbit’s foot. Musically, the sounds are more mystical. This almost feels as if they could not decide whether this was a fortune teller slot or a lucky symbols slot – and so compromised at the half-way point.
Other than the wild symbols which multiply your wins, there is only a single feature. This is a pick-em round which takes place in front of the reels.
Setup and Play for Lady of Fortune
This game has 15 win lines, though you are free to choose how many you’d like to play. Like all Play N Go slots, you can select up to 5 coins per line, as well as altering the coin value. This gives a spin range from 15c to $18.75c. Auto-play works differently on this slot than some others from the Play N Go range – instead of choosing the number of spins you simply start this off and then click again to stop it when you are finished. You can gamble after a win on the flip of a playing card.
Red 7’s are the top symbol; this is worth 2500 coins for 5 on a line. In this game any consecutive sequence of 3 or 4 pays out, even if it does not start on the left hand reel. The symbols are stacked on the reels, which means you often hit multiple wins at the same time during play.
Clovers are worth 1000 coins for 5, with the horse shoe coming next at 500. Smaller wins come from the star, rabbit’s foot, ladybird and dice. There are no playing card symbols in this game.
Scatters are a colourful parrot in a hat. With 5 of these anywhere on the reels you will win 500 times your total bet amount. The remaining symbols trigger the bonuses. There are 3 parts of a treasure map which appear on the first 3 reels. Collecting all 3 takes you to the map bonus. Chests trigger a different bonus game; you need 3, 4 or 5 and can win bigger prizes in the game the more chests you get to trigger the feature.
Special Symbols and Bonuses
There are two special symbols to look out for, the lady of fortune herself and the multiplier wilds.
The lady is on reels 1, 3 and 5 and will trigger the pick-em game, where you select one of 3 prizes which can be up to 150x your total spin amount. When you get one lady on reel one the middle reel will speed up, and with a second lady the 5th reel speeds up too.
I really like the multiplier wilds; these appear in the middle reel and have 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x written on them. In combination with the stacked symbols, these often make multiple winning lines, giving you the occasional windfall. A fountain of coins comes out of the bottom of the reels when this occurs.
Lady of Fortune – Conclusion
This slot could not seem to make up its mind whether it wants to be in the mystic category or a fun ‘lucky’ type game. While it is professionally produced, it does not really do a great job of either. The music is chilled out an ambient, while the symbols you want to see are bright 7’s and multipliers.
As long as you are not expecting too many features or gimmicks, this is a solid enough game. The type of slot to relax with. There is the potential for big wins, with the 5x multiplier and 7’s giving the potential for up to 12500 coins from one line.
