Wishing You Fortune Slot Machine

Being a WMS land-based slot machine adapted for online play, Wishing You Fortune, is pure class. The graphics come in bright colours with deep red reels set against vibrant lanterns floating in the star lit sky. The symbols appearing on the reels are believed to bring good luck in Chinese culture and add real atmosphere to the theme.

Wishing You Fortune is an Oriental-themed slot machine coming from WMS. It is played at a 5x4 layout and offers staggering 1,024 ways to win. Themed on good fortune and luck, the game is home to high paying symbols depicted as cranes, golden frogs, Koi fish, bonsai trees and magic cards while the rest of positions are populated with generic playing card icons from 9s through Aces.

The game comes packed with a range of special symbols including Wild depicted as the golden lion which appears only on the reels 2, 3 and 4 and replaces all the symbols bar Bonus Scatter and the Fortune Reel Trigger symbol. The latter shows up exclusively on the reel 3 and counts as Wild for all the symbols except for Bonus Scatter. This special symbol triggers the Fortune Reel above the play area that contains Fortune Wild and Festival Wheel symbols. If the Fortune Reel stops on Fortune Wild, up to 5 Wilds will be added to the reels 2 to 5 to help you complete more winning combinations.

If Fortune Wild appears on the same position as the Bonus Scatter symbol, it will be transformed into so-called Wonus symbol that counts for all symbols except for Fortune Reel Trigger.

This is another WMS title that allows you to set your bet by choosing a bet multiplier instead of a coin value and you can choose between a value of 1 and 125. However, when playing at the lowest 8 bet multipliers, only Fortune Wild appears in the Fortune Reel.

When played at a higher bet multiplier, the number of Festival Wheel symbols increases, which means that odds of triggering this bonus feature are higher. Festival Wheel Bonus awards 5 Festival Awards which are Mega, Grand, Major, Minor and Mini progressive jackpots. Once a Festival Award is delivered, the bonus feature is over. Festival Awards are multiplied by the chosen bet multiplier and the largest one amounts to 156,250 coins.

Land 3, 4 or 5 Bonus Scatters portrayed as an Asian lady on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost reel and you will unlock the Free Spin Bonus feature. Once the feature is triggered, you will be offered to pick from 5 options including 25 free spins with Y-Wild multiplying wins by 2x, 3x or 5x, 20 free games with B-Wild multiplying payouts by 3x, 5x or 8x, 15 free games with G-Wild multiplying wins by 5x, 8x or 10x, 13 free spins with P-Wild multiplying wins by 8x, 10x or 15x or 10 free spins with R-Wild acting as a 10x, 15x or 30x multiplier. These special Wilds appear only on the reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitute for all symbols except for Scatter.

A multiplier value is determined every time Wild is included in a winning combo at random. In addition, during the feature cards symbols scattered on the reels 1 and 5 pay 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x or 50x your total bet. If free games end and you have won less than 10x total bet, your total payout will be automatically increased to 10x total bet. This amount includes the payout awarded by triggering Scatters.
