Fortune Teller’s Charm

Overview

Fortune Teller’s Charm created by Leander Games, is an online slot created for those who believe that their future holds great riches. However, whether that confident prediction proves true or not is up to the discretion of the red-haired beauty of the reels - the fortune teller herself. As far as layout is concerned, players are presented with a 5-reel, 3-row board that is bright, crisp and clean. The whole gimmick (although a bit cheesy) is pulled off well and makes for an entertaining gaming experience.

When it comes to features, there are a few interesting ones for players to get involved in. These include a wild multiplier bonus, meaning that any win that contains a wild has the payout doubled. You can also collect crystal ball scatter symbols to trigger the bonus spins round feature. Every win in the free spins round is multiplied by 3. The bonus free spins round can also be retriggered from within the bonus itself.

Theme and Symbols

The thematic linchpin of this game is the fortune teller, her influence informs the rest of the elements for this slot which are concerned with aesthetic design. Leander Games have broken the usual tradition of a wise old women as the fortune teller in favour of a rather young and beautiful character. Although who knows, she may be wearing a magical disguise.

The background for this game naturally is a forest in the back and beyond where one assumes the fortune teller’s gipsy wagon resides. From here she lures fatalists from near and far. You can piece together the background’s location by the leafy foliage to the left and right of the reels and the lake in the middle. Strangely, the whole background has been coloured in a purple hue. Perhaps this is to give the game an air of the supernatural.

The gaming board on the other hand is relatively simple. 5 bright white reels are separated by thin lines of gold. The choice of white for the board makes the symbols pop off the screen in a rather inviting way. Not much else can be said about it apart from that it shines as though a floodlight is blasting the board straight on.

There is a total of 13 different symbols for this game. These comprise of yellow 9s, which are the lowest paying symbol, then red 10s, blue Jacks, and green Queens. Green Queen pay 10x for a matching set of five on a payline. Next in line are the red Kings and purple Aces. Up next value-wise are the silver coin and the four-leafed clover. Above these are the golden horseshoe, the ladybug and the rabbit’s foot. The most valuable symbols are the fortune teller wild and crystal ball scatters, which can provide up to 500x to 900x your total bet.

Features

The features for this game are a little thin on the ground, however, the ones they have chosen to incorporate do add a little bit of excitement to the game as well as potential payout boosts.

The first feature concerns the red-haired fortune teller character who is the wild for this game. The wild has two functions in Fortune Teller’s charm. The first is that it will replace other symbols (bar the scatter) to help form wins across the board. The other function is that when it is part of a win, that win’s payout is subjected to a x2 multiplier, doubling the payout.

The second feature is attached to the scatter symbol. The scatter in this game as you’ll remember from the information above is the purple crystal ball. Landing 3 of these symbols on the reels simultaneously will trigger the free spins round. Players will then be granted 15 free spins. However, to spice things up a little more, Leander Games have attached a x3 multiplier to any win that is formed in the bonus round.

You can retrigger the free spins round from within the bonus by landing an additional 3 scatters on the reels. If this should happen, players are rewarded with a fresh set of 15 free spins. The number of times that you can retrigger this bonus is unlimited.

Conclusion

Fortune Teller’s Charm is probably best for a lazy Sunday afternoon’s betting when you don’t feel like concentrating too much. The twinkling music, clear and crisp symbols and simple features are all conducive to a relaxing gaming experience that everyone can enjoy. That being said, a top payout of 9,000x your stake is nothing to be sniffed at.
