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

Introduction

At first glance, it appears that there is nothing too complicated about Fortune Dice. For the most part, it does keep things simple and fun; however, the dice add a lot of extra excitement without making things excessively difficult. Not only do you have five reels and 50 paylines but also you have one or two dice to the right of the reels that will roll as you play and potentially add more wilds to your game.

The wild here pays in its own right in addition to being a substitute. There are five familiar card symbols and four recognisable themed symbols on the main paytable; what’s more, you have a bonus symbol that triggers free spins, which in turn increases the power of your dice for extra dice wilds and a potential Fortune Chance game.

As you will know if you have played the Dice Rush online slot, dice can often add something special to what would otherwise be a standard game. Gameplay Interactive also likes to give modern twists to old themes in its slots, so making Fortune Dice a dice game has worked out well.

Theme, graphics & soundtrack

When you are told that a slot is inspired by Chinese imagery and folklore, you generally know what to expect. Red is a lucky colour in China, so it is no wonder the plain background is red. The font used on the card symbols has a touch of Chinese calligraphy and the themed symbols include old friends such as the coin and the dragon - it is all pretty simply done. The interest comes from the titular dice, which are what add the interesting extra features to the slot.

Fortune Dice RTP & volatility

As with many Gameplay Interactive slots online, Fortune Dice has no official RTP or volatility. That said, playing it for a while seems to suggest some fairly average returns.

How to play Fortune Dice

This is a fairly simple-looking slot. Until you get to the dice, the gameplay is likewise fairly standard.

1. On the left, near the bottom of the reels, is a button with the three lines that symbolise the menu. This provide access to the paytable and game rules, including how to trigger the bonuses.

2. Under the reels are all the displays you need to keep an eye on as you play - the total bet, most recent win and overall balance.

3. On the right of the screen is the stack of coins where you can find the bet adjustor and tweak it to your preferred level.

4. Above this is an even bigger button to spin the reels. You can just click it for one manual spin or hold it down for autoplay.

5. There is one other point of interest, which is the dice above the spin button. When the reels spin, the dice will also roll. If the number matches the dice overlaid on some symbols, these symbols will become wild.

6. Now you know how to play and have set a budget with win and loss limits, you are ready to play and enjoy the game responsibly.

Bet & win sizes

Fortune Dice offers you a fairly decent bet range of between 5 and 500 credits. How much you will win from your bet is dependent on the paytable, which tells you how much you can win for three, four or five matches of each symbol. As always, five symbols offer the biggest rewards:

- Nine - 150
- Ten, jack - 200
- Queen, king, ace - 250
- Coin, bowl, urn - 500
- Yin yang symbol - 750
- Dragon wild - 2,000

Fortune Dice free spins and bonus features

- Free spins

Three or more bonus symbols (handily labelled) in the base game equals an award of seven free spins, which can be retriggered for another seven if you find three more bonus symbols during the free spins round. Free spins also come with two dice rather than the one in the base game. Not only will regular symbols turn wild if their overlay matches either of these dice but also a double six will trigger the Fortune Chance bonus game. This adds something more to the fairly common free spins feature found in many slots.

- Fortune Chance

If you are lucky enough to roll the double six and activate the Fortune Chance game, 16 dice will appear on the screen with their values hidden. You can pick two dice to roll over and show how much they are worth and you will be awarded this amount.

Conclusion

At first glance, Fortune Dice may appear to be another unimaginative Asian-themed slot. A lot of it does look familiar; however, where it does get interesting is what it does with the dice and the different features they unlock. Dice are much less common than cards on a reel, and here they spice up the game in multiple ways (wild dice and Fortune Chance). If you like simple gameplay with a little twist, you may appreciate Fortune Dice even if it didn’t give the best first impression. There is a lot of fun to be had here.
