88 Fortunes is the first slot machine Shuffle
Master has produced for desktop and mobile
casinos. Shuffle Master has traditionally been
making table games, but have now entered the
slot machine market. Their first title does not
have any weakness or signs of them being new to
this game segment. 88 Fortunes has an Asian
theme similar to what WMS has used in their slot
game Wishing You Fortune. There are a couple of
cool things to mention about this game. You can
win in 243 ways, there is a free spin feature,
you can determine the number of stacked symbols
by adjusting the bet size and gold symbols, and
there is a combined bonus game and jackpot
feature with 4 different jackpots. By playing
€0.88 or more, you get the chance to win any of
the jackpots. The maximal potential base game
win is a 2.761x the stake if you play €0.88 or
more per spin, while the highest jackpot pays
2.272x the stake. There is actually more
potential in the base game than in the jackpot
game. The payout percentage for 88 Fortunes is
96.00%.

Let’s first of all take a closer look at the
different bet sizes that can be made on 88
Fortunes. When the game has loaded, 5 different
gold bets are shown on the left hand side. The
different options have the following costs: 1
gold symbol = 8 credits, 2 gold symbols = 18
credits, 3 gold symbols 38 credits, 4 gold
symbols = 68 credits, while 5 gold symbols = 88
credits. The higher gold bets you select, the
more symbols will be upgraded from normal to
golden symbols, and the higher jackpots can be
won. Golden symbols mean that the current symbol
can appear as stacked during the spins, and gold
step 2 and higher will make one or more jackpots
available. Which symbols that are upgraded to
golden symbols can be viewed at the top left
side of the slot machine. Each of the golden
bets can also be multiplied by the bet per spin
in the down left corner, so it's possible to bet
way more than only 88 credits. I can also
mention that it's 243 paylines activated for
this game, which means that you win with any
combination from left to right starting at the
left reel.
88 Fortunes has wild symbols on reel 2, 3 and 4.
These symbols substitute for all other symbols
except the green gong symbols. There are a
couple of interesting features on this slot
machine. The first one is the stacked symbol
feature, that is activated by the golden bets.
The higher gold symbol bet, the more symbols
appears as stacked during the spins. There is
also a combined bonus game and jackpot feature
that can be triggered on any spin where a wild
symbol appears. 88 Fortunes also has a free spin
feature, where the low paying symbols are
removed from the reels for a bigger chance to
hit those huge wins.
Free spins: The free spin feature is
triggered when 3 or more green gong symbols
appear from left to right starting on the first
reel. This combination will activate 10 free
spins, where all 9-10-J-Q-K-A symbols are
removed from the reels. It's possible to
activate the jackpot feature during the free
spins, and it's also possible to re-trigger the
feature completely.
Jackpot / Bonus game: The different
jackpot amounts are available depending on the
different gold bets. 2 gold symbols open up the
Mini jackpot, 3 open up the Minor, 4 open up the
Major, while 5 gold symbols open up the Grand
jackpot. If you want a chance to win the Grand
jackpot, a bet of €0.88 or higher per spin is
required. A bet with 2 gold symbols can award
the Mini jackpot randomly if a wild symbol
appears during a spin. The 3 higher bets with 3,
4 or 5 gold symbols can randomly reward a
jackpot bonus game if a wild symbol appears
during a spin. The bonus game is a pick bonus
where 12 coins are shown on the screen, each of
the coins will hide a symbol representing one of
the jackpots. Find three of a kind to win the
corresponding jackpot. This is a predetermined
pick bonus, and the chance of finding 3 of a
kind is different for each of the values. The
bonus game ends when a jackpot amount has been
awarded.
