Wishing You Fortune is an online slot game by software developer WMS. It comes with a very traditional Chinese theme, with all the most typical imagery in place. This includes the round paper lanterns, money frogs, cranes, bonsai trees, and guardian dog sculptures. In addition, you have the bland old lower value playing card symbols mixing with the thematic icons. We should say that the graphics here are of pretty good quality, although they do lack the modern 3D features and fancy animations. The backdrop sets kind of a peaceful vibe, with the night sky littered with glistening stars and floating lanterns. Furthermore, there’s also a very traditional soundtrack that enhances that overall laid back feel.
Moving on to the game’s layout, you will find it features a total of 5 reels and 4 rows. It comes with a massive 1,024 ways to win, so naturally, there will not be any room for regulating paylines on your own. This also leaves you with less flexibility in terms of the betting range. Stakes start at a minimum bet of 40p per single spin, and the maximum wager amount will set players back a total of just £50 per spin. In addition, the jackpot adds up to some 500 coins.
Special Features
Wishing You Fortune does have plenty to offer players as far as gameplay goes. There’s a very respectable number of entertaining special features, and the freespins round especially has the potential to be quite lucrative.
Wild
Much like with the features in this online slot game, there are actually 2 Wild symbols. One is the regular Wild which can substitute for all other symbols bar the Scatter and Fortune Wheel Trigger symbol; and the other happens to be the Fortune Wheel Trigger symbol itself. It can replace all other symbols, including the Wild, but not the Scatter.
Fortune Wheel Feature
Wishing You Fortune boasts not one but two bonus features, one of which is the Fortune Wheel Feature. To trigger it, you will need to land the Fortune Wheel Trigger symbol in any position on the middle reel (reel 3). This will cause the horizontal wheel above the reel to spin. It contains only two options: Festival Wheel and Fortune Wild. If you land on the latter, the game will randomly add 2 to 5 Wild symbols on any of the reels, except for the 1st reel – and with that the feature will be over.
If the Wheel awards you the Festival Wheel, on the other hand, this will trigger the Festival Wheel Bonus Feature. As a result, you will find yourself at a new screen with a wheel of fortune in front of you. Place the different icons on it and spin. Then the wheel will award you one of the Mini, Minor, Major, Grand or Mega cash prizes.
Scatter
The Scatter symbol in Wishing You Fortune can appear in any position, anywhere on the reels. Its main attraction is that it can trigger the second bonus feature – the Freespins Feature. To do this, you will need to land at least 3 Scatter symbols on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1. This will activate the freespins round where you get to choose which of the 5 different options you would like to play.
The first option will give you 25 freespins and Wilds with multipliers of 2x, 3x, and 5x. Then you can also play with 20 freespins and benefit from 3x, 5x, and 8x Wild multipliers. Option number 3 will award you a total of 15 freespins, but the multiplier values will increase to 5x, 8x and 10x. Then there’s also the fourth option, offering 13 freespins and 8x, 10x, and 15x multipliers. Last but not least, you can play with only 10 freespins, but enjoy Wild multipliers of 10x, 15x, and 30x. You can also retrigger this feature if you land another 3 or more Scatters during a spin.
