Lure of Fortune

Released in November 2023, this slot transports players not on a boat, but to a stilted fishery. Goodbye high seas, hello tidal flats! Immersion is guaranteed in this atypical universe, where the floating hut occupies the background during the game. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover whether plaice fishing can be just as fruitful as on the high seas.

Thanks to its creative approach, Lure of Fortune breathes a welcome breath of fresh air into the hackneyed fishing theme, but it’s also an opportunity to experience equally original gameplay, with different volatility modes, cascading payouts, multiplier enhancements for each symbol and a bonus with purchase options.

When a new symbol appears, the spins meter is reverted back to 3.

The Lure of Fortune slot is played on a 5×5 reel grid with a Cluster Pays payout system. The nice thing here is that each player can choose from three different game modes: medium-volatility, high-volatility and extreme-volatility. As a result, the game’s atmosphere evolves from sunny, clement weather to driving rain, and even to a snowy landscape for the most volatile option. And it’s not just the visual environment that changes: the potential payout can reach 5000x, 20000x or 50000x the stake respectively, and the maximum multiplier reaches 32x, 64x or 128x depending on the mode. Regardless of the mode selected, the RTP value is 96.10%.

To start the game, as always, a stake must be placed. Here in Lure of Fortune, players must wager between $0.10 and $200 per spin. Winnings are triggered when a group of at least 4 identical symbols is formed horizontally or vertically on the grid. The fisherman, fish and shellfish are the game’s various symbols capable of paying between 0.20x and 30x the stake. With each win, the winning symbols are destroyed, the remaining symbols tumble and new symbols fall to fill the space vacated and form new winning opportunities. This cascading process can be repeated until there are no more wins.

In addition to winning sequences, symbols can be multiplied, so a bonus can be activated to access even higher prizes.

Multiplier Upgrade

Each symbol has an associated multiplier. This applies to all wins including the symbol, starting at x1 and doubling after each win including the symbol. The game can also randomly upgrade multipliers for a certain number of symbols at the start of a new spin. As we’ve seen, the maximum multiplier depends on the mode selected.

Bonus Game

To access the Lure of Fortune slot bonus game, players need to get 3 bonus symbols anywhere on the grid. Once in the bonus game, three spins are awarded, and when any symbol appears on reels 1 to 6, the spin counter is reset.

Once the bonus is launched, five symbols will appear at the bottom of reels 1 to 5. These symbols reveal a bet multiplier. The sixth reel will reveal a multiplier scale that will apply to the symbols on the row at the end of the bonus.

Here are the symbols likely to appear on reels 1 to 5 and their functions:

• Fish: Reveals a value and occupies the position above it. If a symbol already exists on this position, the symbol is also pushed up one position.
• Hammer: Pushes all symbols on the reel up one position.
• Pay: Reveals a value and adds it to all symbols on the reel.
• Double: Doubles the value of all symbols on the reel.
• Spawner: Copies a symbol and its value onto the reel, placing the copy on top of the original.

The sixth reel can receive different symbols:

• Golden Hammer: Pushes all grid symbols up one position.
• Pay: Increases all multipliers on the multiplier scale by +1.
• Double: Doubles all multipliers on the multiplier scale.
• Bonus: Remaining spin counter resets to 4 instead of 3.
• Persistent Hammer: Randomly selects a reel and pushes all reel symbols up one position at the end of each re-spin.
• Persistent Payer: Randomly selects a reel and pays its value to all reel symbols at the end of each re-spin.
• Persistent Spawner: Selects a random reel and copies the symbol and its value, then places the copy one position above the original.
