Faeries Fortune Slot Machine
Do you believe in fairies? Well, if you spin this slot machine in the right way then you might not believe in faeries, but you will definitely believe in fortunes. Big Time Gaming presents Faeries Fortune, a 5-reel slot machine with 40 paylines and loads of magical game symbols which revolve around the central theme of a charmed woodland setting. And just to keep things nice and interesting, the slot machine has lots of extra features such as wild symbols, scatters and unique mega icons which take up large portions of the game screen.
Luck of the Irish
As far as video slots machines go, you won't get a much more generic theme than that of a magical forest setting. That is by no means a bad thing, however, especially if the theme is done to a high visual standard. Luckily, Faeries Fortune by Big Time Gaming is up there with the best of them thanks to some diligent design work which presents a screen that glistens with aesthetic appeal.
The 5 reels of the game are presented within a traditional Celtic knot frame to bring out elements of Irish luck along with reel symbols which depict four leaf clovers and the lovely fairy lady herself who is dressed in more green than you would find at a St Patrick's Day party. Other icons that appear on the reels include a lucky horseshoe and purple and gold pendant icon with a simple Celtic pattern.
As well as being vibrant and captivating to look at, Faeries Gold is also a treat to hear with its calming sounds of nature. This running stream and birdsong will swiftly be drowned out by some special musical scores whenever a bonus feature is activated. In fact, you might even recognise the song which plays during the free spins as being a rendition of the classic Irish folk song “I'll Tell Me Ma”.
Big Bonuses
Speaking of bonuses, we may as well have a look at some of them because Faeries Fortune certainly offers plenty of them. The most notable of all is the “Mega Icons” feature – and it will definitely be hard to miss because this gameplay element involves extra large symbols which cover up to 4 reel positions. This feature won't just give you a closer look at the symbols, but it will help you increase your winning chances because it could potentially create a win on its own or it could match with other smaller symbols of the same kind.
These Mega Icons also have a big (literally big) part to play in the other bonus features that this charming slot has to offer. For instance, the round of free spins will be activated when a “Mega Scatter” appears with the free spin icon, rewarding a free spin for ever individual reel position that is covered – meaning that there is a chance to win up to 16 free goes. Plus, during se free games, 4x4 mega icons will occupy the second, third, fourth and fifth reels, meaning that a matching normal-sized icon on the first reel will result in some multiple line wins.
Mega Scatters also apply to other bonus elements such as the Faeries Gems feature which will award special keys whenever a large fairy icon pops up on the reels. One key will be given per occupied reel position and each key could unlock a prize between 40x and 4,000x the line bet value. And last, but by no means least, there is a Big Pots Of Luck bonus which asks punters to pick a pot of gold icon when a Mega Scatter Pot symbol appears. Again, one pot is available for each smaller icon position and the potential wins are between 80x and 20,000x the stake per line.
Find the Fortune
Those bonus prizes are by far the most lucrative wins that this game has to offer, because the normal payout schedule is quite underwhelming in comparison. However, with 40 paylines fixed into position on the reels, there is a good potential to find some winning combinations with every spin. You can see the full paytable for the base game in the table below:
All wins are paid as line bet multipliers and the available stakes per line range from 0.01 to 10.00
Same Old Theme with a Difference
Faeries Fortune may not bring anything new to the table when it comes to theme, but it certainly shakes things up with its unique Mega Icon gameplay. As such, it is always possible for players to spin up some mega winnings, especially if they unlock one of the many bonus features that this slot machine has to offer.
