Fortune Rush
Fortune Rush
Rejoice this December! Not for the birth of baby Jesus, but because Games Global (Microgaming) and Pulse 8 Studios have teamed up once more to bring us Fortune Rush slot!
With a Far East theme, the game is filled with auspicious references, plus some solid medium variance gameplay that includes respins and a Lucky Draw bonus.
Shall we get started? I think we should.
The Graphics
Your reels set on a blue sky backdrop are framed in red and gold. To the left of them sits a mighty Chinese Dragon to watch over your spins, and the music is a traditional Chinese ballad that fits the theme nicely.
Not bad overall, but the design here probably won’t win any awards.
The Game Play
Fortune Rush slot has 5 reels, 3 rows and 243 ways to win. To scoop yourself a win, match 3x or more of the same icons from left to right.
Place your bets from a minimum of 0.25 gold ingots per spin going up to a rather hefty 125.00.
The premium paying icon is the red dragon, followed by the yellow dragon, the frog, koi carp and bird.
As for your lower paying symbols, well they are made up of the standard 10, J, Q, K and A from the playing card deck all done up in green.
The handy Wild icon will stand in for all other icons on the reels, except for the Fortune Rush logo symbols.
Fortune Rush Slot Bonuses
Rush Symbol and Re-spins
Hit 3x of the Fortune Rush symbols and you’ll be given a re-spin. If any new Rush Symbols land on the reels you’ll be granted another re-spin and the symbols will become sticky to the reels. If the streak re-spin goes on for 20 spins, 3 Rush symbols will be added to reels 1, 3 and 5 and you’ll get one more re-spin. Landing a Rush symbol on each of the 5 reels, will set off the Lucky Draw Re-spins.
Lucky Draw Feature
Now you’ll be given 3 re-spins- and during these goes only Fortune Rush icons and blank spaces will land. Any additional Rush icons that land will remain sticky onto the reels and the re-spins will reset to 3.
The more Rush Symbols that get locked on the reels, the higher your payout when the feature ends – which is when all 15 reel positions are filled with bonus symbols or the re-spin end.
Look to the left side of the screen and you’ll see the values to be won -the top prize is 1880x your bet
The Monkey Verdict
Fortune Rush slot is a bit on the basic side for me. And I would have liked to see a Free Spins bonus or some other extra added to it.
But if you like a streak Re-spins mechanic, this could float your boat – in which case give it a spin.
