Fumi's Fortune Slot Review 2024

Fumi's Fortune, a 5 reel/25 line slot from Cryptologic, offers us scatter symbols and wilds. As for the game's big prize, it's a $20,000 jackpot.

The theme of the slot is based on a Japanese game show, though it's a fictional one which was created especially for this slot. The design is fairly typical for the kind of show we've come to expect the Japanese to have, with lots of colors and with happy looking people on the set. It's a different culture, so it's only natural that we don't understand it completely. It's not a bad looking game overall, with a style of design which uses lots of neon and different bold colors. You don't get only bright colors though, you also get the sounds of a game show from Japan. If you prefer your games to be quiet and less intrusive you can always choose to mute the game. The symbols of Fumi's Fortune start with Aki (show's male host), Fumi (female host), logos and card icons (Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Nine).

You should find it easy enough to place a wager here, as long as you have a set budget in mind. It's recommended that you use all 25 coins available when placing a bet, so you should just modify the coin value if you want to change the stakes. The value of a coin is anywhere between $0.01 and $20. The maximum wager of the game is worth $500, while the 1000 coins of the top jackpot are worth up to $20,000.

The symbol that pays the slot's biggest prize is also the one that acts as the wild. In this role, it is capable of taking the place of other symbols. The exception in this case is the scatter symbol, the game logo.

A scatter symbol is considered special because it can award prizes or trigger bonus rounds simply by being present on the reels in sufficient numbers. It doesn't have to occupy a payline with multiple symbols, it just needs to show up. In this case, the player will get prizes between 2x (2 scatters) and 50x the bet (5 scatters).

If you're interested in Japanese culture and you want to get a small taste of what it's all about, Fumi's Fortune can be a good way of doing that. It has all the usual features you're probably used to by now plus some quirky graphics and sounds.
