88 Fortunes Slot

This game is one of the biggest hits by the developer on the online platform, and its popularity only appears to be growing by the day in not only NZ casinos but also across the globe.

88 Fortunes is a colourful slot that bursts with shades of red and gold in nearly all its elements, the former also being an element associated with luck.

The set has a beautifully crafted grid of five reels and three rows that separates each icon using stunning red patterns that still maintain a level of simplicity; this leaves the icons as the centre of attraction.

No bet lines are featured on the screen, and instead two hundred and forty-three ways to win are used to determine winning combinations. On top of the reel sits a multicoloured basket which is semi-open to collect gold characters.

The left of the screen holds a panel that indicates the number of gold characters that are active along with the credits used to activate one to five of each.

Scientific Games, being among the leading names in slot games creation, has not been left behind by the mobile compatibility wagon.

88 Fortunes and almost all other products of the provider are developed with affinity to some of the most popular mobile operating systems such as Android, iOS, and Windows.

On smartphones and tablets that run on these OS, the game runs in no download mode directly on web browsers thanks to the use of HTML5 technology in its development.

Playing 88 Fortunes

Slots are an attraction to millions across the globe for their flashy appearance and simple gameplay procedure, both of which are presented in the 88 Fortunes slot in select style.

Rather than having the UI panel at the bottom of the screen like in most other pokies, the controls in this slot are placed in different areas of the screen.

Players can adjust the stake to place using the Bet Per Spin button set at the bottom left of the screen. 88 Fortunes supports credit values of between 0.01 and one.

Before spinning the reels, players are also prompted to choose the number of gold symbols they would like to activate out of the five provided.

The higher the number of active gold icons, the higher the value of the credit. Each level of play demands credits as follows:

• Five gold symbols – 88 credits
• Four gold symbols – 68 credits
• Three gold symbols – 38 credits
• Two gold symbols – 18 credits
• One gold symbol – 8 credits.

The higher the number of active gold icons, the more the progressive jackpots players have a chance of winning out of the featured four. Leaving only one gold character active does not activate any jackpot.

These jackpots are Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand, the latter being the best. The prizes they offer are directly related to the stake placed. The higher the stake, the bigger the jackpot prizes.

Once the stake placement process is done, the spin button to the right of the reels sets the game in motion. The icons on the reels are used to form winning combos once the grid comes to a halt, and they include:

• Bird
• Ship
• Tortoise
• Stack of baskets
• Coin
• FU BAT
• Poker face cards – A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9
• Gong.

All symbols can be replaced by the FU BAT to complete winning combos except the gong, which is the scatter.

Game Payouts

88 Fortunes pokies machine pays in credits, and these wins are activated by three to five icons of the same kind on a winning way from left to right from the leftmost reel. Below is a perusal of the provisions made by each icon combo:

The gong scatter triggers the free spins bonus that awards ten rounds for three to five of these symbols. During the freebies, the poker face cards do not appear, and only high paying icons are left on the reels.
