Turn Your Fortune from NetEnt: Slot Review - a slot game with a twist!

For their very first release of 2019, software giants NetEnt have taken a great deal of inspiration from French Art Nouveau with this new online slot. French Art Nouveau is a famous style of art that was mainly popular between 1890 and 1910. It covers a wide range of arts, including architecture, painting, jewellery, furniture, and even glass art. Turn Your Fortune is all about opulence and magnificent intricate decor that conveniently features a menagerie of beautifully crafted animals that are in fact made out of glass and metal. Let’s see if we can land a majestic fortune on the reels in this very fancy looking online slot?

Turn Your Fortune is a 40 payline slot that includes Fortune Wins, Respins, and Free Spins.

Special Features

Turn Your Fortune features a collection of 9 animal symbols that appear on the reels. All symbols come stacked on the reels to help you that bit more for landing full reels of matching symbols. Keep your eyes peeled for the Red Lion symbol as this is the most valuable symbol in the game. Land 5 of these symbols on an active payline and you will bag a nice payout worth 10X your wager.

The Wild symbol in this game is represented by a beautiful butterfly. Similar to most Wilds, its main job is to substitute for all other symbols apart from the Scatter, Key, and +10 symbols to help form winning combinations on the reels.

Turn Your Fortune incorporates a Fortune Wins system which is displayed by a golden barrel and allows you to collect symbols to move up the coin win ladder. Starting at the lowest level, the aim is to fill the meter by 5 or 20 spaces to move up 1 step. Make it to the final step of Level 1 to win 150X your stake. There are 5 levels in total with special Key symbols increasing the level. This game mechanic is also present in both the Fortune Re-Spins and Free Spins features too.

The Scatter symbol is illustrated by a beautifully designed Peacock and if you land 2 of these symbols anywhere on reels 1, 3, or 5 then you will trigger the Fortune Re-Spins feature. Once activated, all collectable symbols are collected to fill the Fortune Wins meter and each time the meter is filled up by 5 spaces then you will move one step up the Fortune Wins golden barrel. Look out for the Key symbol here as when it lands on reel 5 then the coin win values are increased on the Fortune Wins golden barrel. This feature ends when there are no more collectable symbols on the reels or when the maximum of 20 symbols are collected.

The most rewarding feature by far in Turn Your Fortune is, of course, the Free Spins bonus round. To access this feature, you will need to land 3 or more Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5. In Free Spins, you will be taken to screen where you get to spin a 3-tier Wheel. This determines how many Free Spins you will be awarded which range from 7 up to 13 Free Spins. It also picks the collectable symbol and what level you will start on from 2 to 4. During Free Spins, each Scatter that appears awards 1 extra Free Spin and all collectable symbols are gathered to fill the Fortune Wins meter. You will also notice a special +10 collectable symbol that can appear on reel 2 and when it does then it will fill the meter by 10 spaces. Land a Key symbol here to also increase the level. Each time the meter is filled by 20 spaces then you will move one step up the Fortune Wins golden barrel. If you are lucky enough to make it to step 5 in Level 5 then you will win the top prize worth a whopping 2,000X your stake!

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The presentation of the game is visually outstanding and what we’ve come to expect from top software provider NetEnt. Turn Your Fortune features rich and vibrant colours and is set against a very stylish and elegant purple background. Symbols are intricately detailed and consist of a Lion, a Turtle, a Snail, an Owl, a Fish, along with traditional A – J icons. The animations are crisp as symbols zip up and down the reels rapidly and shine brightly when part of a winning payline. A particular highlight is when you trigger the Free Spins bonus game and are taken to a whole new screen where you get to spin a golden wheel to determine how many Free Spins you will be awarded.

The music is melodic and rather enchanting. This matches the art theme of the game really nicely.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game features 40 paylines, a solid RTP of 96.24%, and has a maximum payout worth 2,000X your stake.

Our Verdict on Turn Your Fortune

Turn Your Fortune is produced by leading software studio NetEnt and is a highly entertaining game to play. The theme of the slot is quite original and it features beautifully crafted graphics, wonderful bonus features, and offers excellent replay value. The Fortune Wins mechanic can be quite complicated to follow but once you start spinning the reels, everything falls into place nicely. The Fortune Re-Spins feature triggered quite frequently but this game is all about Free Spins as this is where you will get the biggest wins and level up quickly. With an enticing jackpot prize of 2,000X your stake on offer, this is certainly one slot where you could land yourself a sweet fortune on the reels! Variance-wise, I found this slot to be between Medium and High so expect a few dry spins but when you do land a win then you’ll receive a nice cash payout for your patience.
