Big Fortune Introduction
As soon as you open this Aristocrat pokie you are met with a golden Buddha who is sitting among hundreds of gold coins. His inviting and warm look entices you to play and gives you a glimpse of the riches that you could win. According to folklore, rubbing the belly of a laughing Buddha statue will bring you good luck, so let’s hope that luck is on your side when you play.
If you haven’t guessed it yet, gold plays a big part in this pokie with all of the special symbols also coated in the precious metal. The symbols, along with the upbeat sounds, confirm the Asian theme that runs throughout. Standard playing card ranks from 9 to A make up the low-paying symbols while the special ones are shown as warriors, snakes, turtles and the mighty dragon.
243 ways to win
At first glance, Big Fortune could just be another standard pokie in which you must match the symbols to win prizes. It follows the typical 3 x 5 format but you are given 243 different ways to win each time you spin the reels. The laughing golden Buddha acts as the wild which means it will substitute for any of the other symbols shown in the reels apart from the scatter.
It only lands on reels 2, 3 and 4 but if you’re lucky it might just bring you some pretty good rewards.
The big feature
The real highlight of this pokie comes at the hands of the scatter. The golden arches act as this symbol and if you find that three of them have managed to find their way onto your screen, you are in for a treat. This combination will automatically trigger seven free spins, a nice feature in itself, but it is the multiplier that makes this game unlike the rest.
Every time the reels spin, you are awarded a 1x multiplier until, on the final seventh free spin, you are left with a 7x multiplier. If you do manage to trigger this feature, keep your fingers crossed that the higher paying symbols appear on that final spin to award you the maximum payout. It doesn’t stop there as you are also able to retrigger this feature with just two of the golden arches.
When retriggered, you are also rewarded with a minimum of three additional spins and a multiplier that goes up to 10x. This could mean a significant win might just be on the cards.
At home or on the go
Big Fortune is available to play in the comfort of your home on a desktop computer. You also have the option to play on a tablet or mobile device which allows you the freedom of playing wherever, and whenever, you want. The screens may be smaller but the graphics and features certainly don’t lose their appeal.
