Ellens Fortune - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Ellens Fortune is an Evoplay online slot which takes similar liberties with Irish folklore as Barcrest’s Rainbow Riches slot. This free slot focuses on the Elven princess Ellen, decked out in Irish green, and the hunt for her treasure behind the symbols on the reels.

This kind of stereotypical Irish theme has become widespread, but we hope our Ellens Fortune slot review will identify some of its distinctive properties.

Ellens Fortune has a five-reel, four-column grid and is played on 20 fixed pay lines. The minimum bet is 0.10 and the maximum is 500.00. There are 10 regular symbols, which are: a horseshoe, a tankard, a pair of dice, a bottle, a pipe and the five highest-value playing cards. There is also a Free Spins scatter symbol, a Wild symbol, which is a cascade of money spelling out the word ‘wild’, and a sticky coin bearing the head of a unicorn.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

In any online slot review prospective players want to know about the mechanics and the pay-outs, but we think it’s important to consider the design as well. Given the Irish folklore theme there is the inevitable green outfit, shamrocks and rainbows, but they are at least given a slightly different slant. The music is tolerable but palls after a while.

Ellens Fortune RTP and Variance

The Return to Player is 95.91 per cent, which is just very slightly below average for an online slot, and the game’s volatility is medium to high.

How to Play Ellens Fortune Online Slot

1. Combinations can be made from left to right and from right to left. This means, for example, that a combination of five of a kind across all reels is paid twice, once in each direction.
2. The bet value is to the left of the play button. Using the plus and minus buttons you can change this figure or click on the coins symbol to open the betting table. Alternatively, click on the bet indicator and call up the slider control.
3. A common online slot feature is an automatic play mode. To activate it here just click on the smaller play button to call up five auto play choices.
4. You can also set the game to quit auto spin mode when certain game events occur. If you reach a single win limit of your choosing, or your balance should increase or decrease by an amount you specify, then auto mode will end. You can also leave autoplay mode at any time just by clicking the autoplay button again.
5. You activate fast play within the settings menu, which is the three-line menu on the left.
6. Click on the play button or press the space bar to spin the reels. They will stop after a few moments, but you can override this and stop the reels early by clicking play again.
7. Your balance is shown on the bottom right of the control panel, and this figure will change as a result of each spin, win or lose.
8. If you land three scatter symbols you win seven free spins. Scatter symbols appear on reels 1, 2 and 5 in the base game. They do not appear during respins.
9. Wild symbols substitute for all symbols except scatters. Wilds can appear on any reel in both the base game and a free spins round.
10. The sticky coin is a symbol which appears at random on reels 2 or 4. The lucky coin appears on reel 3 and has a 50% chance of appearing in a free spins round. Coins have no pay-out value.
11. Only the highest win per line in each direction will pay out.
12. Please gamble responsibly. Try the game first in its free slot version. To moderate your playing we encourage you to use the time out and self-exclusion features in your account.

Ellens Fortune Bonus Features

Sticky Coin

When the sticky coin lands it rotates on its axis and then launches a rainbow in the direction of the unicorn’s horn. The coin and all symbols under the rainbow become sticky wilds. After any pay-outs are made a respin is awarded 

Free Spins

As above, when the lucky coin lands (on the third reel) it spins and sends out a rainbow. All symbols under the rainbow become sticky wilds and the lucky coin becomes a wild. At the start of the next free spin all symbols except the sticky wilds disappear.

Ellens Fortune Review: Our Verdict

In an online slot review it’s important to judge a free slot by its intentions. Ellens Fortune is a simple game without drama or heavy themes. It’s a perfectly enjoyable creation without spectacular pay-outs or complex bonuses games, but it is diverting enough for the average player.
