Fortunes of the Fox Slot - Demo, Free Play, No Registration -

Introduction 

The fox's fortunes are in your hands in this endearing slot developed by Playtech. As well as serving as the wild symbol on the reels, the fox can trigger free spins where all the wins are multiplied. Scatters trigger the 'pick-me' style bonus game where you can help the fox to reach one of 6 bunches of grapes and win multiple prizes. 

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Fortunes of the Fox is based on the Aesop's fable about the Fox and the Grapes. In the tale, the fox tries to take some sweet, juicy grapes which are growing too high up on the vine to reach. Eventually the fox is defeated and slinks away, declaring that grapes weren't worth the effort as they aren't even ripe yet. In this game the fox will get some grapes, but only if the 3 grapes scatters fall in! Playtech have gone for a light-hearted, cartoonish look for this slot, with a countryside background and adding a hunter, his dog, a tent and a cooking pot to accompany the fox and the grapes. The animations of the fox and the hunter's dog during the bonus features are a nice touch. There's no background soundtrack but there are some musical sound effects when the reels spin.

Fortunes of the Fox Bonus Features

Free Spins 

The Fox wild appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. When wilds appear on all 3, they trigger 15 free spins. During the feature, all wins are multiplied by x3. If 3 more foxes appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, they will retrigger the 15 free spins. The free spins feature can be retriggered indefinitely.

Lucky Grapes bonus game 

The bonus game is triggered by 3 or more lucky grapes bonus scatter symbols. These can appear on any of the 5 reels and will pay out for 2 or more of a kind. The bonus game shows 6 bunches of juicy grapes hanging from a branch. Select the bunch of grapes you want your fox to reach. The fox will bounce on a trampoline to touch the grapes for cash prizes. She'll keep bouncing for more prizes until the trampoline collapses. The scatter symbol appears during the free spins feature too, suggesting that it's also possible to trigger a bonus game during the free spins bonus.

Fortunes of the Fox review

Fortunes of the Fox is a fun, light hearted slot with great cartoonish artwork and animation. It has a very basic interface; there are no game settings and in our test run the max bet function didn't work. Although we didn't manage to trigger any free spins we were lucky enough to get the bonus game twice. The trampolining fox animation is worth the wait and you never know how many times the fox is going to jump and add to the prize before the trampoline breaks, so no sour grapes there! 

Fortunes of the Fox is one of over 200 Playtech free slots available to play and is unusual in that it's a slot with wild feature that doubles as a scatter. If you're looking for more games to try from the same stable then Playtech's Jackpot Giant slot, a 50 line, low volatility game is a good one to try.
