There are up to 20 line combinations, as well as a free spins bonus game that comes with a multiplier. These factors combine to create a game where there are a lot of different chances to win prizes of all sizes.
Occult Origins
A fortune teller, otherwise known as an oracle or soothsayer, is a person that has the supposed ability to see a person's future, or their past, either enabled by objects or as an inherent skill. There are numerous iterations of these people that appear in most cultures, faiths and spiritual practices across history. In modern Western culture, the majority of our popular ideas about fortune telling are derived from the traditions of the Romani.
Aside from astrology and tea-leaf reading, one of the most commonly known forms of fortune telling is crystallomancy - otherwise known as crystal gazing and usually achieved with a spherical crystal (crystal ball) - which involves the fortune teller gazing into the crystal to induce a trance state, where they can see events from a person's past, present or future.
Another popular known method of fortune telling is tarot reading, where the teller discerns possible meaning from a selection of the cards, all of which offer a number of different interpretations, depending on their configuration. Lastly, there is palmistry (palm reading), where the lines of a person's hand are used to determine future events.
Although there are still many people that subscribe to these concepts, today, fortune telling is generally thought of as entertainment amongst most Western cultures. There is also a third group of advocates, those that believe that taking part in or undergoing these practices can be used to contact, or better understand, the unconscious mind. However, anyone, sceptic or not, can reap the benefits of this mystically minded pokie.
Future Fortunes
Prizes are awarded for two-, three-, four- and five-of-a-kind matches. The most valuable regular symbol is the girl with the tambourine, which has a possible maximum prize of 1000 coins. The crystal ball Wild symbol is the most valuable overall, with a maximum prize of 5000 coins.
It can also be used to substitute any of the other symbols except the Scatter. Scatter play is enabled by finding three or more black cat symbols, which starts the free spins bonus round. You cannot accumulate more free spins during the bonus round, but the black cat symbol becomes Wild, meaning it can be used to substitute for other symbols. The Scatter bonus also comes with an added multiplier.
