Happy Fortune

Released in January 2024, Pragmatic Play’s Happy Fortune slot focuses on Chinese culture to bring us luck and prosperity. First we glimpse a marvelous Chinese environment, in a set of temples half-hidden in a thick layer of clouds, or perhaps the morning mist, whatever the case, the sun begins to illuminate with its blushing and orange colors.

The Happy Fortune grid is made up of 6×5 reels running with Scatter Pays mechanics, and the god Caishen will be among us to deliver his fortune to the luckiest players. He stands on the right, smiling with a bowl full of gold coins, a heavy bag over his shoulder and a purse around his waist, ready to help players achieve wealth in a highly volatile gameplay featuring an RTP of 96.25%. Multipliers, tumbles, free spins with progressive features and a bonus purchase option will be the best ways to reach the biggest rewards up to 5000x the stake.

To get off to the best possible start in Happy Fortune, you’ll need to wager between $0.20 and $125 per spin. The symbols have the advantage of paying out anywhere on the grid, and you only need to find 8 or more identical ones to win a prize. The best of these are the gold teapot, the Chinese gold ingot, the purse, the Wu Lou gourd or the pendant, which can pay between 1x and 50x the stake, while the colored lanterns will pay between 0.25x and 8x the stake. There’s no Wild, but Caishen appears as a Scatter and can pay anywhere from 3x, 5x or 100x the bet with 4, 5 or 6 symbols.

Tumble

A common feature of Scatter Pays slots is the presence of a tumble function. In Happy Fortune, winning combinations are paid out and then the corresponding symbols disappear. The remaining symbols then fall to the bottom of the screen, and the empty positions fill up with new symbols from above. The tumbling continues until there are no more wins on the screen.

Caishen is eager to give out amazing multipliers!

Multiplying symbols

Coins are multiplier symbols present on all reels, which can land randomly during spins and tumble in the base game or in Free Spins. When a multiplier falls, it takes on a value between 2x and 100x, and once the tumbling sequence is complete, the values of the multiplier symbols on the screen are added together and the total winnings for the sequence are multiplied by the final value.

Free Spins

Free Spins can be won with 4 or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid. Find 4, 5 or 6 Scatter symbols to trigger 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins.

In this bonus, a progressive feature is activated. Players start at the first level and each time multipliers fall, they are collected in a counter. The bonus increases in level at a certain number of multipliers collected, and at each level, certain multiplier values are accessible:

• Level 1: Before collecting 6 multiplier symbols. In level 1, multiplier symbols can be worth between 2x and 100x.
• Level 2: After collecting 6 multiplier symbols. In level 2, multiplier symbols can be worth between 8x and 100x.
• Level 3: After collecting a further 4 multiplier symbols. In level 3, multiplier symbols can be worth between 15x and 100x.
• Level 4: After collecting 4 more multiplier symbols. In level 4, multiplier symbols can be worth between 50x and 100x.

After Level 4, no further level increases are possible, but all remaining spins are played in Level 4. In addition, you can collect 5 additional spins by collecting 3 or more Scatters.
