Chest Of Fortunes

The Asian-themed slot sub-genre is pretty popular in terms of how many games are in it, and Spinomenal's Chest of Fortunes is one of that number. When a game uses a popular concept like this, it's critical that they do what they can to stand out. This game is able to do that to an extent. The graphics are tame but adequate, and there are aspects of the gameplay that stand out, so it's definitely not a total flop. With that having been said, it doesn't necessarily stand out in a major way either.

Layout and Format

In this game, players will have five reels and three rows to play on with a total of 25 paylines. These paylines are static, and you will always be betting just a single coin on each of them for a total bet of 25 coins for every spin. The available coin sizes range from $0.01 to $10 apiece, which gives you bets available from $0.25 to $250. No player at any level of stakes will have any problem finding a bet size that works for his or her particular size of bankroll.

Wild Multipliers

The golden ingot symbol is one of the more important symbols in the game. It substitutes for everything but the bonus symbols, and it applies a 2x multiplier for each wild that is included in a winning combination. These wilds can stack, so two in a combination gives a multiplier of 4x, and three in a combination gives a total multiplier of 8x. This is a welcome change of pace from games where several wild multipliers in a combination do not stack, and it gives players opportunities for bigger and better wins.

Free Spins Symbols and Feature

The string of firecrackers is the free spins symbol. It acts as a scatter, and it gives you instant wins in addition to free spins. Three of a kind gives a 2x payout with five free spins. You'll win a payout worth 5x with 10 free spins for four of a kind, and it becomes 10x with 15 free spins for five of a kind. Any wild symbol that shows up on the middle reel during the free spin bonus feature will expand to cover the entire reel as well. This gives you a bit more value than you would receive during the regular game spins.

Chest Bonus Feature

There is a decorative chest that appears on all reels. Three or more located anywhere on the reels initiates an instant win bonus feature. There's not much to this feature, but it is another way to get some pretty good payouts, so it's hard to argue with it.

Surprise Wild Feature

During the regular game, you can trigger the Surprise Wild Feature at random. The way this works is that after one of your spins, one random symbol can turn into the wild. The symbol will never be a free spins or bonus chest symbol, but it can be anything else. This obviously helps you to get extra wins that weren't there before.

Biggest Wins and Payouts

The best regular win in the game without the wild multipliers is 400x for five of the panda symbol. You can also win a 200x payout for five of the monkey. The Buddah symbol earns you a 100x win for five on a payline as well. There are two other characters too. One of them is a woman playing an instrument, and the other is a wise old man. Each of them will give you a 75x win for five of a kind.

Low-end Card Rank Symbols

In usual fashion, card rank symbols are used for the bottom-end payouts in this game. The A, K, Q and J symbols are all stylized in the same way with a red, Asian-inspired font. Five of the A or K is worth a 50x prize. That drops to 25x for five of the Q or J. This rounds out the bottom end of a fairly balanced pay table. Some of these wins are on the small side, but remember there are multipliers of 2x, 4x and 8x that can come due to the wild symbols, so you could actually end up with much larger payouts.

Overview

As far as Asian-themed games go, you could do a lot worse than the Chest of Fortunes slot by Spinomenal. They have included a number of features in this game, but it's the stacking wild multipliers that really stand out. Add that to the expanding wild in the free spins feature and the Surprise Wild Feature, and you get a lot of opportunities to multiply your wins by a factor of up to 8x. Overall, this game is solid, and it has decent graphics and good gameplay.
