Wins of Fortune from Quickspin: Slot Review - an epic journey to the Far East!

The Far East is an incredible place to visit as it is full of picturesque views, really friendly people, amazing food, and a whole range of diverse cultures. There have been many Asian-based slot releases over the last few years so Swedish software developer Quickspin had their work cut out to make their latest release Wins of Fortune really stand out from the crowd as it too is set in Asia. In order to do this, Quickspin decided to focus on mythical characters from various Asian stories from the past which is certainly something that has never been done before.

Wins of Fortune is a 5 reel slot game with 259 ways to win and comes with features such as Wild symbols, Expanding Reels, Respins and Super Respins.

Special Features

The first thing to highlight is the game does not feature a traditional payline structure, instead it offers players 76 ways to win. This is a fairly decent number but you'll be glad to know that it increases all the way to 259 ways to win once you have completed a certain number of respins. To form a win using ways to win, you just need to land 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels. The game also features a highly original layout as the reels are set in a 3 x 3 x 4 x 4 x 5 formation.

The Wild symbol in this game is a symbol featuring the word ‘Wild’ with a purple background and golden frame. Like most Wild symbols, it substitutes for all other symbols to help form winning combinations on the reels. The symbols in the game consist of a Pig, a Monk, a Blue Giant, a Monkey type man, and a variety of gemstones. Keep a close eye on the Monkey man who is referred to as Sun Wukong in Asian mythology as this symbol is the highest paying symbol in the game. Manage to land 5 of these symbols and you will be awarded a nice haul of 50 coins.

The standout attraction of the game is the Respin feature. This is triggered whenever you land a winning combination on the reels. When this happens, the reels will shift to the left which greatly increase the number of symbols you can get. In the main game, you start off with 76 ways to win, after 1 Respin it increases to 90 ways to win and so on until you hit 4 Respins when it reaches a highly lucrative 259 ways to win! For every respin, the winning symbols will remain locked in place which boosts your chances of landing a huge payout.

If you are lucky enough to land a 4th winning respin then you will unlock the Super Respin feature. In this game, you will be taken to a new set of reels which consists of a 5 x 5 grid with 259 ways to win where all winning symbols remain in place until no more winning combinations appear on the reels.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The graphics are absolutely gorgeous and beautifully rendered on screen, The backdrop of the game is a peaceful landscape featuring a bright blue sky, misty mountains, trees, and some pagodas. Symbols are nicely detailed with a Manga kind of style and consist of a monkey man, a warrior pig, a monk, a blue giant, and some very fancy gemstones. The animations are a real visual treat as symbols sparkle into life when you form a win and the background of the slot is covered in a mysterious orange glow as you shift from one reel to the next.

The music features an Asian-based soundtrack. It is atmospheric and sets a nice peaceful tone as you spin the reels. I really enjoyed listening to it and it complements the oriental theme of the game superbly.
