Fortune Rush Review

With the Fortune Rush slot, Microgaming partner Pulse 8 Studios returns to the Asian niche to present its take on the popular Hold and Win feature. The slot is built on the player-favorite Respins mechanic, but it's tweaked greatly to bring new experiences to the players. Apart from that, Fortune Rush sticks to a traditional Chinese style, with gameplay being its most creative side.

Fortune Rush - Slot Outlook

There isn't anything that you have never seen in any other Asian-themed slot. Fortune Rush doesn't really stick out with a classy design, the game's overall look is quite simple. The 5x3 reels producing 243 winways are set somewhere above the clouds, and the background image is just a monotonous sky blue canvass. There's a Chinese dragon standing on the left, spewing lightning and coins when you hit big and wins bonus features. The soundtrack adds a final touch to the general atmosphere with a piece of relaxing Chinese music, though, it picks up to the tempo to become more suspenseful when you trigger the bonus game.

Playable on any device, the Fortune Rush slot comes with a betting range of £0.25 to £125 per spin, which should appeal to both high-rollers and casual players.

The paytable in the Fortune Rush slot comprises 10 regular symbols that are split in half into two categories. The lower side is made up of classic A-10 royals symbols, while the higher-value symbols include in ascending order birds, fish, frogs, lions, and dragons. You'll need to land at least 3 matching symbols adjacently starting from the leftmost reel to score a payout, and 5-of-a-kind wins are worth from 1.2x to 8x the stake.

Fortune Rush - Bonus Features

Once you load in, a random high-paying symbol is selected as a special Rush Symbol for the next 20 spins. Landing 3 or more Rush Symbols on 3 reels during the base game will award a Respin. Reels containing Rush Symbols will get locked, while the rest of the reels will spin once again. If a new Rush Symbol appears anywhere in view, then another Respin is awarded. On the 20th spin, a Rush Symbol is awarded on reels 1, 3, and 5, which gives a guaranteed Respin. If there's at least one Rush Symbol on each of the reels, then players are awarded the Lucky Draw feature.

When the Lucky Draw feature is triggered, players proceed to a new type of reel set where only blanks and selected Rush Symbols are available. Triggering Rush Symbols will be locked in place for the remainder of the bonus game, and each new Rush Symbol that lands is also locked and resets the number of Respins back to 3. The more Rush Symbols are locked during the feature, the higher will be the prize.

Fortune Rush - Slot Verdict

For those into the Asian thing, Fortune Rush is definitely a slot to try. While it looks like an ordinary Chinese-theme game, you'll quickly change your mind once you take a peek under the hood. The spin-cycle feature with guaranteed Respins and an increased chance of entering the bonus is a lovely addition to the beloved Hold and Win bonus, and Pulse 8 Studio's effort is bound to be enjoyed by slotters.
