Turn Your Fortune

Everyone’s got one eccentric family member that they like to complain about. But you don’t often see them drop a giant golden box on your doorstep, and tell you to solve it!In this game of keys and chance, NetEnt challenges players to try their luck. Those who succeed will be richly rewarded. And those who fail will have to grieve for their poor wallets.

Turn Your Fortune is a clever title. A dig at spinning the reels in hopes of winning big. And with a 5×3 board with 40 fixed paylines, we were confident in its success. The special features especially sound great on paper! Re-spins and free spins allow you to advance up the golden chest, which means increasingly lucrative prizes!But execution itself is lacking.

We’re used to awesome graphics from NetEnt. So we’re a bit confused as to what happened here. There’s none of the usual polish we’re used to seeing. The background is one texture repeating over and over again. Apart from the chest unlocking and advancing through the stages, there weren’t any interesting animations either.

The slot is played on five reels, with three rows each. To win, collect three or more identical symbols in adjacent positions, starting with the leftmost reel. All wins must follow one of 40 fixed paylines, or the cash prize won’t be awarded to the gambler. The bonuses were also quite interesting, once we were able to get a handle on them.

Players can set their wagers between $0.20 and $200 per spin. You change your total bet by adjusting your bet level and coin value.
NetEnt’s release has a medium-high volatility, with an RTP of 96.24%, which is above the current industry average.The maximum cash prize you can win is worth 2000x your total stake.

Icons are split into playing card royals and richly decorated animal statues. And we do mean richly decorated. Each one is made out of precious metals, making them quite dazzling to look at! Playing card royals look alright, but they’re not particularly eye-catching. A butterfly statue is the Wild, while the peacock is the Scatter.

If you collect two Scatters, you play a Golden Re-spins round. Here, your goal is to fill a Fortune Wins meter, which you do by picking up the collectable symbol. Which one is the collectable icon? The one that the slot randomly picked when the re-spins began! Each time the meter is filled, you go one step higher on the golden chest. And if you find the key on the fifth reel, it increases all the cash prizes the chest awards.

Meanwhile, three Scatters takes you to spin a three-tier bonus wheel. Here, the number of free spins, the Fortune Wins meter starting level and the collectable symbols are awarded. The mechanics stay mostly the same, except the requirements are much tougher. And instead of one icon, all of them are in play!
