88 Frenzy Fortune

88 Frenzy Fortune Overview

BetSoft has created something rather unique in this new game. We say this because this title has an unconventional set-up that includes three regular reels, one bonus reel and one pay line. This unusual gameboard comes with an equally strange theme that combines Japanese Koi Fish, outer space and 80s' techno music. This truly is an out-there game for players looking for something different. You can play 88 Frenzy Fortune on your phone or mobile device, and it has an RTP of 96%. To find out more about this slot, continue reading our in-depth review.

The bonus content for 88 Frenzy Fortune mostly comes via the special bonus reel, which is the fourth reel on the board in this game. You must first trigger a win on the first three reels and have a bonus symbol present in the fourth reel to activate a bonus. The bonuses that you can win in this way include a re-spin, a multiplier, and an instant cash prize. The cash prize bonus provides players with a random cash payout, whilst the multiplier bonus applies a multiplier in the range of 8x to 18x your win. However, the re-spin bonus is a little more complex. All features will be explained in greater detail further on in the review.

Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game is mostly inspired by the endless beauty and expanse of space; however, it has been combined with the frequent images of golden Koi fish and the number 88. The only connection we can think of is that all of these elements have a relationship to good fortune in terms of their symbolic significance. The Koi Fish in Japan is associated with success, prosperity, ambition and longevity. Whereas in China, the number 8 is considered a lucky number as it sounds like the word that means "to generate wealth". So, it can be assumed that the combination of these two is supposed to bring luck to the player.

The background for 88 Frenzy Fortune comprises galaxies, planets nebulae and endless stars reaching off into infinity. The image created for this game is captivating as it shows an incredibly colourful tableau of space with bright oranges, deep reds and twinkling purple stars. The background quality is almost so good that you start to concentrate not so much on the spinning symbols but on the gently expanding space molecules behind them. The slow movement of the background is indeed hypnotising in a very pleasant way.

You can make out the board for this game just because of the reflective boxes it is made from. Each one, however, is transparent, making the most out of the detailed background behind.

The symbols for this game are organised in a spectrum of least to most valuable. The least valuable icon in this game is the single Koi fish. This icon pays up to 6x the bet. Next is the double Koi Fish icon, paying roughly 12.5x the stake for the top combination. Following this symbol is the silver eight, paying around 22.6x the stake. The symbols continue with the double golden eights, paying 56x the stake. However, the most valuable symbol in this game is the blazing eights that reward players with up to 296x the stake. The specials are the multiplier icons, the re-spin icon and the instant cash icon, which only fall in the fourth reel.

Features

As briefly explained, the bonuses in this game come courtesy of a bonus reel that is the last or fourth reel for this game. The first three reels will determine if you created a win and what the size of that win will be initially, and then the bonus symbol (if one falls into the space when you trigger a win) will decide what bonus will be applied to that win.
The bonuses that can be applied in this way include, first of all, an instant cash payout bonus icon which, if it falls when you create a win, will reward you with a random instant cash payout.

The second bonus is the multiplier bonus icon, which can help boost wins by 8x to 18x.
The third is the re-spin bonus icon, which triggers an event in which all four reels will re-spin. However, the first three reels will display the same win, so the fourth is the only one that will change to either a blank or another re-spin icon. You can win up to five re-spins with a multiplier of up to 4x for the wins.

Conclusion

With a quirky design, a simple yet satisfying game dynamic, and some pretty great features, 88 Frenzy Fortunes has more attributes than players may at first think. This includes the decent RTP and exciting top prize. Let's hope the luck of the Koi fish, and the number eight will guide you towards some top wins here.
