Fortune Cookie is a tasty little 3 reel slot, which has been designed and developed by Microgaming, and which features a unique design. The design of the slot means that all of the text is written in an oriental font. Aside from this, most of the icons used in the slot are classical in nature, and the slot offers a double pay table, and two special features, for those players that required them to win.
This particular slot contains 3 reels and of course, being a classic slot, it features only a single payline. That might be faithful to the original format of classic slots, but the wagers aren’t. In fact, this slot is incredibly cheap to play. Wagers range from a low of only $0.25 up to a maximum stake of $10 per spin. The wagers made up of coin values that work their way upwards from $0.25 to $5, with 2 coins per line being permitted to be staked.
The icons used in this slot are mostly all genuine classic slot images, such as cherries and bars. The bars themselves come in 3 types, with the usual single, double and triple bars all making their appearance. Players should keep an eye out for the multi coloured 7s, which offer larger wins, whilst the Fortune Cookie logo is the special feature icon, as well as the jackpot logo.
Classic slots shouldn’t really have bonus features, but this one does, and nobody is going to be complaining about it. The Fortune Cookie icon doubles as both a wild icon, which can substitute itself for any symbol to complete a winning combination, and a multiplier. If one wild icon is used in a winning combination, players will receive a 2x multiplier on those winnings, whilst if two are used, the player will receive a 4x multiplier on their winnings.
The pay table is split into two columns for quick referencing. The first column is for players wagering with one coin, whilst the second column is for players wagering two coins per spin. Players who wager 2 coins per spin will win double the amount that players who wager 1 coin per spin will win, on all combinations.
Winning combinations will see players win 2 or 4 coins for any cherry, 3 or 6 coins for any 3 bars, 5 or 10 coins for any 2 cherries, and 10 or 20 coins for 3 single bars on a payline. For 3 cherries a player will receive 20 or 40 coins, with 25 or 50 coins the prize for 3 double bars, and 3 triple bars bringing a payout of 50 or 100 coins. Three 7s will see the player win either 100 or 200 coins, depending on how many coins they have wagered per spin.
Players can pocket a total jackpot of 1,600 coins if they manage to line up 3 of the Fortune Cookie wild icons on the game’s single payline. They must also have the maximum 2 coins per line staked to do this. Should they wager only one coin per spin, then they will walk away with a halved jackpot of 800 coins instead.
It is useful to note that players who wager the maximum stake, and pull of the jackpot can win up to $8,000 in real money. Overall, this slot is fun enough to play, and it offers a nice taste of Chinese Fortune Cookie fun, although at the end of the day, it is still a run of the mill classic slot, isn’t it?
