Fortune Lion (Tidy) - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Asian inspired online slots are always a popular choice, and this beautifully designed game from Fun Ta Gaming is a worthy addition to the saturated market.

The game has been wonderfully designed with traditional Chinese elements that put you in the mood for celebration and the unusual payline format makes this game stand out from the crowds.

The game is played over a 3x3 reel grid with 8 paylines that can produce winning combinations running horizontally, vertically, and diagonally to give you plenty of winning potential. Most symbols require matches of 3 to win, however some will reward you with just 2 together, and the single gold coins can even pay out with a single appearance!

Although Fortune Lion doesn’t offer a Wild symbol to substitute for other symbols, it does have a really interesting and rewarding bonus feature that takes the form of one of three ‘Fortune Lion Jackpots.’ These jackpots involve the Fortune Lion symbol landing in a specific pattern and can trigger free spins for you to enjoy. We’ll look at the bonus features in more detail later in this Fortune Lions slot review.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Fortune Lion is an Asian themed slot that’s been beautifully designed to bring you into the heart of a traditional Chinese celebration. The reels are filled with symbols including lucky gold coins, musical instruments, fireworks, and more to get you into the festive spirit. The reels themselves are made out of a wooden structure that reminds us of royal temples and the background is a gorgeously illustrated Chinese street at dusk. The music is also appropriate for the theme, with traditional Chinese festive music being played in the background throughout the game.

Fortune Lion RTP & Volatility

Fortune Lion Bonus Features

In Fortune Lion, you can trigger the Fortune Lion Jackpot by landing 5x lion symbols in an ‘X’ configuration on the reels. This jackpot pays out based on a percentage of your total bet and offers some truly impressive rewards.

In addition to the Fortune Lion Jackpot, players can also win the Lantern Jackpot or Lion Ball Jackpot.

Lantern Jackpot

Land 3x winning paylines featuring lantern symbols to trigger the Lantern Jackpot and Lantern Free Game. For the free game, you’ll be awarded 7x free spins with only golden coin symbols appearing on the reels.

Lion Ball Jackpot

Get 7x winning combinations of the blue lion ball symbols to win the Lion Ball Jackpot and free game. This only awards a single free spin, but only the two highest valued symbols (the yellow and red fireworks) will appear.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we thought Lion Fortune was a really well designed online slot with wonderful graphics and animations and a pleasant soundtrack. We really liked that the game doesn’t feature any overplayed A-9 symbols and instead contains only symbols relevant to the theme. We also really enjoyed the unusual payline format and found this to be incredibly rewarding.

We did find the game a little tricky to get the hang of, and couldn’t quite figure out how to adjust between the different paytables, but the base offering was certainly rewarding enough! The game advertises a 58% chance to win on every spin, which we found to be surprisingly accurate, with winning combinations appearing roughly every other spin - awesome!
