Ellen's Fortune Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

This isn’t a typical Irish-themed slot from Evoplay, with four rows across the five reels rather than three and the traditional little leprechaun man replaced by an attractive woman. The 20 paylines are more standard, as is the combination of five low-paying card symbols and six higher-paying themed symbols (including a Wild), but there are also exciting extra features including Sticky Coins (with Sticky Wilds and re-spins) and a free spins bonus round.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Ellen is some kind of elven creature, her pointy ears emerging from fiery red hair and a four-leaf clover forming the final touch in her green and red outfit. She’s also a somewhat suggestive figure, her bust exaggeratedly large and with prominent cleavage over a very narrow waist. Some people may enjoy that, but others will find it off-putting. It’s a demeanour further emphasised by the way she sits and the occasional coy wave. Other imagery, such as horseshoes, pipes and pots of gold, is familiar from other Irish, folklore and fairy themed games such as the Finn and the Swirly Spin slot, but the symbols are drawn with vivid and lifelike detail.

This slot is generally a very animated offering. A constant breeze causes pollen to dance across the screen and plants to wave their leaves. Even the symbols on the reels are constantly jiggling, a little like you’re stood on the deck of the ship. You may even end up feeling a little seasick if you watch it for too long. The soundtrack also includes a lively theme with a Medieval touch as well as some woodland sound effects like birdsong.

Ellen's Fortune RTP and Variance

You’ll often hear that 96% is the figure to look for as a good RTP, and Ellen’s Fortune sits exactly on that level. Of course, it’s still only an average, meaning there’s room for statistical deviation both higher and lower. Treat it as a guideline, not a guarantee. There’s no official variance information for Ellen’s Fortune, so to find out about frequency of wins, you’ll need to give the demo a few spins and discover it for yourself. Luckily, it’s one of many Evoplay slots available for free here on Slots Temple.

How to Play Ellen’s Fortune

There is treasure in this woodland, but you can’t just take it:

1. The button in the bottom left corner of the screen has three lines on it. When clicked, this will open the vertical menu bar.
2. Here you will find, from top to bottom, Paytable, Rules, Settings, Sound, Turbo and Full Screen.
3. You can also open the Rules page by clicking the button above the Menu toward the bottom left.
4. On the Settings page, you’ll find Sound, Sound Volume, Music Volume, Show Intro, Turbo Mode, and Enable Input Options (to use the arrow keys to adjust your bet and spacebar to spin).
5. Back on the main page, you’ll see your current bet under the reels, with plus and minus symbols to adjust it on either side. Alternately, click the stack of coins next to the Spin button to open a sliding adjustor.
6. On the other side of Spin is Autospin. Rather than turning the reels once and then having to click again, you can make it keep going automatically. You can choose the number of spins and also set a single win limit, balance increase limit and balance decrease limit.
7. You’re ready to play now, but do keep an eye on your current balance, which is displayed on the other side of the Autospin button. You should set a budget before you play and stick to your win and loss limits so you don’t end up chasing losses. That way, the game stays fun - and the main aim is enjoyment!

Ellen’s Fortune Bonus Features & Free Spins

Sticky Coins

The Sticky Coin is a symbol that can randomly appear after any spin, but only on the second and fourth reels. It will spin and release a rainbow. Every symbol the rainbow touches will become a Sticky Wild (the rainbow itself acts a bit like an expanding wild feature and will remain so for a single free re-spin.

Free Spins

Find three Free Spins symbols to trigger the free spins round. This time, instead of Sticky Coins, you could be randomly awarded a Lucky Coin. Like the Sticky Coin, it will land, spin and release a rainbow that creates Sticky Wilds, but this time, only the Sticky Wilds will remain on the reels as free spins continue.

Ellen's Fortune Review

This slot is fairly atmospheric, but the excessive animations can be annoying, as can the unnecessary sexualization of the title character. However, if you do enjoy the design, there’s a fairly deep free spins round with its extra Lucky Coin to add an additional thrill. The random nature of the Sticky Coins also adds to the excitement.
