Fortune Totem

Fortune Totem is a slot machine created by CQ9 Gaming whose object, as its title also denounces, is totems. Totems were artifacts made by Native Americans: they were columns carved in wood which represented natural spirits. So very often the features of animals were reproduced, those most common in the North American prairies such as, for example, the eagle. And it is indeed the eagle is one of the central symbols of this slot machine, which we will tell you about on this page.

Fortune Totem is a very simple slot and therefore very enjoyable, because there are no complicated rules to remember and the gameplay is rather linear and simple to manage. It will thus be possible to revive, thanks to the well-kept graphics used by this software provider, one of the most important cultures, and unfortunately also one of the most neglected, of Western history. Native Americans, better known as Indians, have been portrayed as savages intent on plundering and killing. In reality they have only tried to defend their land, but without success. In this slot machine they are presented to us for what they really were: a people who lived in symbiosis with nature and in perfect harmony with it.

Fortune Totem Overview

As we anticipated, Fortune Totem is a rather traditional slot. This is immediately evident from the game grid that appears once you pass the introductory screen. The game layout of Fortune Totem consists of 5 reels and 3 rows. The peculiarity lies in the way in which the winnings are paid. We don't find the classic paylines but we have 243 ways to win that are activated with each spin. This is because winning combinations are formed not along pre-established tracks, but simply by placing identical symbols side by side on continuous reels. This ensures more ways to win with each spin.

To start the spins you have to use the button on the right. From this we understand how the setting of this game is mobile first. In addition to the Play button, you will also find two buttons that are used to set the bet. They are also on the right and are simply the plus and the minus. If you want to play using autoplay, i.e. the automatic rotation of the reels until you decide to stop them, you can use the small button next to Play. In this way the two plus or minus keys will turn into two different autoplay modes. The first is the one that proceeds at normal speed, the second instead is the one that proceeds with an accelerated speed. In the background of the reels you will see the North American prairie. There are some typical tepees, an eagle soaring high in the sky, and blue skies, so there is a very peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.

Fortune Totem Symbols

If you want to know the values ​​of the symbols of the Fortune Totem paytable you can continue reading our review, but you can also use the Menu key located in the lower left part of the game grid. From the menu you will be able to know not only the symbols of the paytable, with their different values, but also all the rules of the game which we will also illustrate to you in the next paragraph. In Fortune Totem there are 2 special symbols and 9 regular symbols. The special symbols are the most traditional: the Wild and the Scatter. The Wild obviously could only represent what gives the slot its title, i.e. a totem which in this case depicts an eagle, as can be understood from its prominent beak. The Wild symbol substitutes for all other symbols, but not the Scatter, to complete a winning combination. We will see how during the Free Spins it also takes on some special features. Free Spins are triggered by the Scatter, which depicts an Indian chief. The Scatter pays a win of 2.5 and 50 times the bet repeated 3, 4 or 5 times on the reels, and activates the game's special feature.

As for the basic symbols, which contribute to forming the winning combinations in the 243 ways to win, we find four letters and a number as low-paying symbols. The letters are the letters and numbers of the playing cards: A, K, Q, J and 10. The four higher value symbols are the peace pipe, a knife, a war ax (the famous Tomahawk) and the eagle.

Fortune Totem Features

Fortune Totem has only one special feature which is Free Spins which is the most loved by all the players. Free Spins consist, as their name suggests, of free spins that you can take advantage of and which are paid to you every time 3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols land on the reels. When this happens you are paid the relevant prize and start a session of 10 free spins. The peculiarity of the free spins is that when it lands the Wild symbol it could extend to cover the entire reel, thus forming a Wild Reel. The Wild Reel will become Sticky, i.e. it will no longer move. With the other spins, only the other reels will rotate and the one covered entirely by Wild will remain in place until the end of the feature. The same will happen if another Wild Reel eventually forms. Remember though that Wild symbols always appear only on reels 2 to 4 and never on the first reel. The Free Spins Feature can be retriggered up to a maximum of 25.

Conclusion

Fortune Totem is therefore a very simple slot to play and that is why it could give you some very enjoyable moments without too many worries. This is whether you decide to play the free version, which you find on this page, or rather you decide not to play it using real money. In this case, however, we must remind you that Fortune Totem is a high volatility slot machine. This means that it returns its winnings only infrequently, but such winnings can be very attractive. The maximum you can get is 8,000 times your stake. We just have to wish you a lot of fun and good luck with the Fortune Totem Eagles and Indians.
