Reel of Fortune Slot

Intro

Though the title sounds like it is paying homage to the classic game show; Wheel of Fortune, this 5 reel slot 20 line video slot’s theme is far from being based upon it! (If you do want to play a game based on the classic game show why not try Rival Gaming Software’s other popular game; Wheel of Cash!) With a modest top award of a 1,500x line multiplier boosted by the ability to place up to ten coins on each of the 20 paylines where coins can be valued between 0.01 an 0.25 means the prizes you can create can be more than reasonable! The lack of a wild symbol, multipliers and free-spins seem a little disappointing, but whenever scatters exist and TWO bonus games are there to win you extra prizes…you know you have the makings of a decent game in front of you!

Review

Reel of Fortune is another game by Rival Gaming Software, brilliantly combining the delights of modern slots gaming with an exclusively light-hearted 1960s theme! Ever seen the Brandon Fraser film ‘Blast from the Past’? Well imagine all the clichéd items from the 1960s; Vespa motorcycles, campervans, fridge-freezers, barbecues and home-television sets are all the rage!

The standard interface for a multi-line, multi reel video-slot machine is in place, with some combining some brilliant Austin Powers fonts, and alternative colour schemes associated with the swinging-sixties! As mentioned earlier the clichéd items happen to also be the icons that can spin upon the reels. The main icons you will want to show upon the reels are the campervan, the dollar-sign-behind-curtains symbol and the Plunko icon which are your highest paying symbol and two scatters that trigger the two bonus games respectively.

Spin 2, 3, 4 or 5 of the campervan icon across an active payline to be able to drop line multipliers of 5, 75, 250 or 1,500 times respectively.

The funky sounds (reminiscent of something from ‘Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy’), the cool groves of the soundtrack, and the psychedelic game show animations, add to the superb atmosphere that this game offers. Without doubt however are the two wonderful bonus games included. Not only do you have a plethora of methods to win numerous prizes on offer, but to include TWO bonus games where you can earn some substantial earnings means you have all the necessary devices to make Reel of Fortune a favourite choice of your gaming catalogue.

Scatter Symbol

Reel of Fortune has TWO wonderful scatter icons, each designed to drop you wonderful prizes and allow you access to the two exclusive bonus rounds. The two scatter icons available are the dollar-sign-behind-curtains symbol and the Plunko icon. Spin 3, 4 or 5 of the same icon across the reels to trigger a cash prize of 1, 5 or 50 times your triggering bet. Three of more of either symbol will transport you to the bonus rounds. The dollar-sign-behind-curtains symbol will trigger the bonus Donkey round whereas the Plunko symbol can take you to the Plunko bonus round!

Bonus Rounds

The Reel of Fortune video slot is blessed with two extra bonus games to win you further prizes. Spin three or more of the dollar-sign-behind-curtain symbol across the reels to trigger the first game, the Donkey bonus.

You will be taken to a screen where three curtains are covering two possible prizes and one hidden donky! Select one of the three pairs of curtains and you will see what lurks behind. If it’s a coin prize then the game restarts and you can choose again but this time with the prizes in a different place! If you choose a donkey however, then your time at this bonus round will end!

Three or more of the Plunko icon will take you to a typically 60s inspired bonus game. This Plunko game requires you to place your ‘Plunko Puck’ above the grid in one of seven places. You then release this puck through the grid until it gets to the centre where you can then decide its next direction. The aim of the game is to hope this puck falls into one of the bigger cash-trays that await it at the bottom. Based loosely on the Japanese game of Pachinko your aim is to hit the bigger prizes at the bottom. Fingers-crossed you can leave with the large 10,000 coin prizes at the bottom.
