Fame and Fortune Slot

Intro

Fame and Fortune is a brilliant 20 line 5 reel video slot machine from RTG. This game contains a top award of a 2,500 times line multiplier where line values can range between 0.01 and 5.00 to allow you to earn some brilliant prizes. A random progressive jackpot (typical in many RTG video slots) is again present in this game, but the added inclusion of wilds, multipliers, scatters and superb free-spins are exactly the extra incentives you desire for this tantalising addition to the slots galaxy.

Review

Fame and Fortune feels as if it is a relation of another classic RTG video slot; Big Shot. This is only because where Big Shot has the theme of the pretentiousness of celebrity-status at an awards show, Fame and Fortune focuses more on the lifestyle behind those A-list stars. The interface is exactly the same as Big Shot and with marvellous brass band fanfares and superb subtle animations accompanying the finely detailed icons, you will understand why we can associate both games so closely.

More similarities between these two slots are the top prizes; both a 2,500 times line multiplier. They both have scatters with similar prizes, and even the same free-spin trigger combination with their own special free-spin icons, in this case the ‘Fame’ and ‘Fortune’ symbols. Their wild symbols are even similar in that they only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 HOWEVER what sets Fame and Fortune apart from Big Shot (apart from the obviously different icons, sounds and animations) is that its wild symbol has an attached doubling multiplier.

There are numerous symbols available aside from the regular paying ones that you will want to reveal from a spin. Look especially for the Glamour Girl (the wild), the Diamond (scatter), the ‘Fame’ and ‘Fortune’ icons (free spin triggers) and the Hollywood symbol (the highest paying regular symbol). Look out too for combinations using the wild and prize-winning icons to create double the amount of prizes you would normally expect.

Though extremely similar to the Big Shot RTG video slot, Fame and Fortune certainly has its own star personality. Great prizes, rewarding free spins and marvellous entertaining visuals and sounds make this slot a certain favourite amongst many slots gamers, new or old to the genre.

Progressive Jackpot

Fame and Fortune contains the typical RTG random jackpot; an ever-ticking progressive jackpot that can be dropped at the end of any spin. Furthermore this progressive is not related to the efforts of your spin, so you could turn out a completely barren result yet drop the jackpot to result in a brilliant turn around. Win and drop it at the same time and you could soon life the life of Fame and Fortune.

Wild Symbol

The Glamour Girl is the wild symbol. Control yourself guys, she isn’t the type of glamour-girl you might be thinking of! She may only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 but she certainly makes up for it with what she can give you. She can substitute herself for all other icons except the scatter diamond, the ‘Fame’ icon or ‘Fortune’ symbols. However if you spin her upon a line and she helps to create a winning combination; the regular prize is automatically DOUBLED. Definitely a reason to be a glamour girl lover!

Scatter Symbol

There are in fact three main scatter icons to choose from. The standard scatter icon is the Diamond symbol. Reveal 2, 3, 4 or 5 across the reels to drop your prize constructed by your total bet multiplied by 2, 5, 20 or 100 times respectively. Unfortunately the Diamond symbol only appears during the free spins! :’(

The ‘Fame’ and ‘Fortune’ icons too work like regular scatter icons though the former only appears on reel 1 compared to the latter that can only be found on reel 5. Spin both simultaneously to win a cash prize of your full wagered bet, multiplied by two AND ten free spins!

Free Spins

As mentioned above, simultaneously spin the ‘Fame’ logo onto reel 1 and the ‘Fortune’ logo onto reel 5 to give you a cash prize AND ten free spins. During the first five spins all your prizes will be doubled, however for the final five spins, all prizes will be TRIPLED. The diamond scatter icon is added to the reels during your free spins to help produce many more wonderful prizes. If you manage to spin three or more of these diamond symbols during the free-spins, you get ten extra free-spins that start after your currents spins had finished. Listen out for the cool soundtrack that accompanies your spins too! You’ll feel like an A-list superstar for sure!
