Idol of Fortune Review
Our Indian slots tag counts 122 installments in this genre at the time of writing. Idol of Fortune is a Hindu mythology-inspired release centered around the elephant god Ganesha.
Other animals are depicted in mythological ways on the reels as well, including snakes, peacocks and lions, and the overall audiovisual presentation is solid. You’re mostly waiting to trigger the random Wild Prize feature in the base game though, or the bonus round which comes with semi-sticky mystery symbols that spread up or down each reel they appear on.
Idol of Fortune Slot Features
The premium animal symbols pay between 2 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Wild symbol pays the same as the top-tier elephant symbol should 3-5 land on a payline. Wilds can appear anywhere on the grid, and they step in for all regular pay symbols to help complete wins.
The Wild Prize feature can trigger at random times in the base game, and this turns 1 to all 5 reels into Gold Reels. You need a wild symbol to land on a gold reel to trigger the actual money-winning feature, and this takes you to a coin pick game. Match up 3 of the same coin type to win a corresponding Wild Prize worth 10x, 25x, 500x or 5,000x your stake.
The Bonus Round triggers when 3, 4 or 5 Ganesha scatters land anywhere in view, and this awards 5x, 10x or 50x your stake up front, respectively. You can choose freely from 6 different bonus round options as follows (volatility increases with fewer spins):
- 20 FS with 8 mystery symbols on the reel strips.
- 15 FS with 18 mystery symbols on the reel strips.
- 12 FS with 28 mystery symbols on the reel strips.
- 10 FS with 38 mystery symbols on the reel strips.
- 8 FS with 48 mystery symbols on the reel strips.
- Mystery pick - randomized configuration of the above.
The Mystery symbols can appear on any given free spin, and they become sticky. What’s more, a cloned mystery symbol spreads to the position below or above the original mystery symbol per free spin. This can lead to full mystery symbol reels, before all instances disappear from the filled reel. All present mystery symbols reveal the same randomly chosen pay symbol per spin.
The 200 Spins Idol of Fortune Slot Experience
You get to see a larger base game payout, as well as plenty of smaller payouts, before we finally trigger the bonus round at 2:52 into the 4:50-minute highlights video. We went with the ‘golden middle way’ 12 free spins option, which gave us 28 potential mystery symbols. You can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.
Review Summary
We don’t see any reason not to include mystery symbols also in the base game in this release, just to balance things out and give players a teaser of what’s to come when the bonus round triggers. The experience as it is however, is pretty barebones. The randomly triggered Wild Prize feature keeps the tension up to a certain degree however, not least since the 5,000x top prize is arguably pretty solid.
The Indian mythology theme is not something you see all that much of, at least not compared to asian-themed slots, and the visual presentation is convincing. The spreading bonus round mystery symbols feels less effective and exciting than similar mechanics, but it can lead to 10,000x payouts around every 1 billion spins on average. This is twice the potential of most similar slots.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Random Wild Prize pick game w/ up to 5,000x prizes | Max win probability is 1 in 1 billion |
| 6 FS options w/ spreading semi-sticky mystery symbols | Beware of customizable RTP ranges |
| Win up to 10,000x your stake |
