Foxy Fortunes Slot Review

Foxy Fortunes seems pretty standard on the surface. It features 1,024 ways to win, distinct base game and free spins round mechanics, and a decent maximum win cap. But what’s shocking is that it doesn’t have a Wild symbol, which is highly unusual for JFTW slots. How does not having this core mechanic impact this game? That’s what I’ll address in the rest of the Foxy Fortunes review.

Theme

Foxy Fortunes isn’t unlike what you’d find across top online casinos in the market. At its most reductive, it’s about a fox that happens upon a red barn in the countryside that promises hidden riches beyond its wildest imagination. Of course, foxes are not particularly sly, as they’re as sneaky as any creature in search of resources.

However, the theme aligns with the standard conception of foxes in East Asian folklore, where foxes are often regarded as spirits that are cunning in nature. If you look at things that way, you’ll see where this game will take you.

Graphics, Sounds, and Animation

While I have addressed the theme positively, I wish the graphics and animations were up to that mark as well. This slot game is supposed to look comical and fun, but the bright colors and the basic fonts took away from the whimsical experience. It all looks just a bit too simple for my taste, with it having barely any kind of animation in the background.

However, there’s definitely the possibility that they will appeal to casual slot players who’re not too keen on reading into things. Luckily, the overall pacing of this 5-reel game is faster than conventional slots.

The soundtrack also channels the slot’s countryside setting, with a serene take on the charming farm life that Foxy Fortunes delivers. It doesn’t take away from the game, but it also doesn’t add anything to it.

RTP, Payout, and Volatility

The RTP of the Foxy Fortunes slot machine is 96.02%, which is barely above average. Even if the game offers average returns in the long run, it’s highly volatile, which means that you might encounter some big wins during your gameplay, albeit it might have a long series of spins in between.

I think the game could use a higher betting range, as it’s a pitfall that even the best casino games out there fall into. It has a betting range that starts at €0.20 and ends at just €50. This might be a bit limiting to high rollers, who prefer to go large or go home while online gambling.

The rustic world of Foxy Fortunes also appears to offer a relatively limited maximum win of 5,000x. You’d think it’d be much higher in a game that literally has the word ‘fortune’ in the name, and there are plenty of slots from other competitors, such as Nolimit City, which offer extraordinarily high max wins.

Gameplay

This 5-reel, 4-row game features excellent slot mechanics with 1024 ways to win. Featuring several symbols on the reels, such as the high-paying fox, farm produce, and gleaming golden egg, and the low-paying 9-to-A suite, it has a more or less standard base game.

As I said before, it’s a game with no wild symbols, and how Foxy Fortunes makes up for it is through additional symbols. It has Money Symbols, Bonus Wheel, and Bonus Wheel Trigger, which make for a dynamic gameplay experience. I don’t think it’s an innovative choice, but it’s definitely more interesting than not having any of these.

Bonus Features

Finally, the features of this Megaways slot are fun to interact with, as you’ll find across several wheel spins. There aren’t many features in Foxy Fortunes, but the way the mechanics interact with each other brings up our expectations for this game.

Free Spins Feature

Across anywhere on reels 1, 3, and 5, players would encounter up to 10 free spins after landing up to 3 FS symbols. While there are 1,024 paylines in the base game, they increase to 3,125 during the FS round with the addition of another row.

The FS round features Pawprint symbols, which also land across the 1, 3, and 5 reels, and once four of them land, 5 extra free spins are awarded. Furthermore, this feature includes the Collect symbols, which only land on the 5th reel, and keeps collecting values from the Golden Egg symbol, which pays off at the end of the round.

There’s more incentive for landing 3 free spins symbols, which is the free spins multiplier feature. There are five multiplier levels, with 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, and 25x, which progress as you land four Paw symbols anywhere on the reels. As you might have noticed, the climb on the multiplier ladder takes place with the addition of extra free spins, which is a neat little detail when it comes to features in online gaming.

Bonus Wheel Trigger

As the base game unfolds, some symbols are accompanied by bonus tokens. These tokens activate when there’s no win after spinning the reels, which has a slight chance of triggering the Bonus Wheel feature. To activate the bonus wheel feature, you must be in the base game, as it’s one of the two ways to reach the game’s jackpot.

Bonus Wheel

It’s the characteristic Megaways feature that makes Foxy Fortunes even more interesting. There are four guaranteed prizes that you will encounter after the bonus wheel spins conclude: Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega. Furthermore, these prizes come with a multiplier with a random value of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x.

This works exactly as you’d think, since the first spin leads to a jackpot. The second spin multiplies it by the random landed value.

Overall, Foxy Fortunes has excellent features where payouts multiply, and special symbols pave the way for greater wins. They make the game as enjoyable as they make it lucrative.
