Slot Review: Future Fortunes

Do you believe in the power of reading the future? Let Mr. Omar read your fortune! This character is a brilliant original creation for the Future Fortunes online slot game, one that will be your guide to playing as well as your spiritual guide as you embark on this high-spirited romp into the realm of the supernatural! Have you ever had your palm read? Had someone divine the meaning of your tea leaves? How about peering into a crystal ball to try and sort out the murky shapes of what’s to come? I’ve had my tarot cards read before, and was always surprised at the cards’ uncanny ability to give me insight into my life and unique situations I was facing and seeking answers to. Even if you don’t believe in all that mumbo jumbo, you are likely to find Future Fortunes a treat indeed!

Future Fortunes is a five reel, twenty payline online slot machine game from the Rival casino software firm. Coin values start at one cent and range upwards to ten cents, which means that you can play this slot as a penny game if that is what you desire, but in doing so you will rob yourself of a shot at the tremendous jackpot for this great online slot! Max coins is set at a value of twenty (one per payline) making the highest per-spin wager one of just two dollars! The jackpot is five thousand times your max bet, or one thousand dollars when you are playing the highest-possible bet amount. This is a non-progressive jackpot, and there is a free practice mode if you want to try this game out before playing.

The look of this online slot game is exceptional – very mystical and fantastic. The background is a field of shimmering purple stars, with a pair of fortune tellers framing the title logo. The icons on the reels are gorgeously rendered and perfectly represent the theme. There are splayed palms (for palm reading), a mystical eye on a pyramid, a Ouija board, and several other symbols that support the theme strongly. There are plenty of bright colors and great, slightly spooky music that really puts a player in the mood to be enchanted! Speaking of enchantment, there is also the fact that a player can win up to nine hundred times their qualifying bet amount on these reels, and, well… you won’t need the power of prognostication to realize that this game is one that you will be playing again and again in the future!

The crystal ball is the wild symbol for this online slot, meaning that it can stand in for any other icon on the reels in a winning combination, with the exception of the scatter symbols. The Ouija board and the Tarot Card are the two scatter symbols for Future Fortunes. If you have ever seen a scary moviem them you are aware of the fact that these items should not be played with lightly, because they are powerful tools that could possibly be used to communicate with spirits existing beyond the veil separating the living from the dead. In this game, however, they are quite lucky. Getting three or more Ouija board symbols on the reels during any one spin will activate the “Can’t lose” free spins, during which you are awarded five freebies during which you are much more likely to win than during normal gameplay! If you find five or more tarot cards on the reels during a single spin, however, you will be take straight to the Future Fortunes second screen bonus game! You can win as many as nine hundred times your triggering bet during this round! This game is simply one of the most generous we have ever experienced in terms of rewarding players for their loyalty and diligence in continuing to play!

The Future Fortunes bonus round is an exceptional one that is activated in this online slot game when you get at least three tarot cards on the screen during a single spin. Players have the opportunity to win vast amounts of bonus cash! In this game, the player gets the opportunity to select a card among the two given tarot cards and the fortune teller, named Mr. Omar, will predict the card you will chose. Every time Mr. Omar is able to predict correctly, the player will win and proceed to a point where the number of cards will increase along with the coins to be won. The game will end when Mr. Omar's prediction is wrong. Your future fortunes rest in the very capable hands of this talented and savvy psychic!
