Fortunes of the Fox Slot

Fortunes of the Fox is a game form Playtech software that is a slightly strange, themed wise. You can see here that the fox and the the foxhund as friends here in this slot, which is a bit unexpected. On the other hand, the design of the slot is very rich and the game itself is very entertaining. But, when it comes to the payouts I cannot say that I was fortunate.

Fortunes of the Fox is 5 reels and 25 pay lines video slot game. The base game is ok, and I was getting some five of a kind combinations. But the wins were nothing more than 10 x bet. There are also 2 features, the Bonfire free spins and the Lucky Grapes.

The Bonfire free games are with x 3 multiplier and they are triggered with a symbol on the second, third and fourth reel. This makes it almost impossible to trigger, at least it was like that for me.

On the other hand, the Lucky grapes bonus wins cash and it is triggered with 3 or more scatters anywhere on the reels but also this was a problem too when I played the game. I checked the pay table before I made the deposit and it seemed reasonable, but it looks like that this is just another game that is good on paper, and when you try it for real money turns out to be such a disappointment. If you get 5 scatters they pay 100 x bet, and I could not get even 3 during my play session to trigger the bonus. The game gives lots of fun when you play it but I do not think that anyone is making a deposit just to have some fun, everyone is in for the cash. This would be the perfect game for me if it gave some cash in return.

Okay, after so much reeling and dealing with heroes, baddies, vampires, wild animals and whatnots, it is now time for some cartoon fun! Now don't tell me you don't like cartoon? Me, even at my age now, which still remains a secret to most, but not to some, hehehe, I still love cartoons! From Tom and Jerry, to Popeye the Sailorman, to Flintstones, to Simpsons, to Thundercats, to Batman, to Marvel Heroes...gees, you name it, I would love it. Well, almost every cartoon, that is. Some do not really catch my interest, but I'll watch them nonetheless, If I have nothing better to do! Hahaha.

But Fortunes of the fox isn't in any TV series, as far as I know, maybe I'm wrong, but never mind, it's a cartoon slot game from Playtech, and that's all that matters. Anything from Playtech is good enough to give it some tries. Which I did. So, what catches my interest the most? Hmm, I must admit it's the fox jumping on a trampoline to grab hold of those grapes. If the fox can get them, then the grapes must be ripe and sweet, if not, then they must be sour grapes! Hahaha. Well, if you don't get many of those grapes all the time, wouldn't you be sour too? Yes, you would! I would be too, hehehe. But like they say, you can't stop a good fox, or hold a good fox down, so it'll definitely get some of those grapes, if not all of them once in a while. My only question is, have you ever seen any grape tree as big as an apple tree? Nosirree, not me, but I guess Playtech people have! Hahaha.

The fox is Wild, yes, of course, but the fox has forgotten to do anything else than that! Damn! No doubling, no expanding, no moving either. Can you get 5 Wilds? Nope, that doesn't exist either. The Wilds only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, but you can get 5 Old Man instead, the highest paying symbol, at 5000x the line bet. Well, that's not too bad. 5 scatters, the grapes, pay only 100x the total bet, which is also on the low side. What about the feature games? Okay, there are only two of them, so this game is more like an oldie game, but it isn't an oldie! 3 Wilds (fox) activate a 15 free spins game with a 3x multiplier, and can be retriggered infinitely, so says Playtech, but you should know better than that! 3 Scatters (grapes) activate a Lucky Grapes Bonus game, whereby you pick 1 grape bunch and earn a cash reward. What, only 1 pick? Yep, grapes don't come cheap, do they? Hahaha.

Well, Fortunes of the Fox is all based on those grapes and the Old Man. The more you get them, the better for you. It's a game that doesn't pay big, sad to say, but it does give you lots of fun and time to play. The paytable could be a lot better, but Playtech don't want to make millionaires either! Hahaha.

If instead of adrenaline you are looking for something relaxing, entertained and even cute, suitable for having fun for a long time without spending too much money, then "Fortunes of the Fox" of "Playtech" is a good alternative to consider; this slot is based on the story of a hunter and a hound out on a sunny day in chase of a sly but friendly fox who is the main character in the game since it is the protagonist of main special features of this slot and also its image is used on the wild symbol; in general it can be said that this slot has an attractive design, but perhaps it may look a bit childish for some gamblers; for its part, sound effects are also mild and pleasant, very appropriate for the theme of the game.

The paytable and hitting average seem to be well balanced, so that leaves a sense of fair play on the player. The most exciting passages provided by "Fortunes of the Fox", as expected, can be found after the activation of its special features, which they are a round of 15 free spins called "Bonfire Free Games" during which all our winnings are multiplied by 3x; indeed, access to this round is achieved with the appearance of three wild symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 simultaneously. The other special feature is "Lucky Grapes Bonus" which is triggered by the appearance of 3 scatters with the image of grapes in any position on the reels, you might enjoy this round more often than free spins, however both they represent a good chance to get some big wins and both are equally fun, anyway I think this game is mostly aimed at players looking for fun than at serious gamblers.

To summarize, I think "Fortunes of the Fox" is a fairly easy game to play, fun and additionally I think it is also suitable to contribute in meeting the wagering requirements when you have to release some kind of bonus, in general, if you are not very ambitious, then this game is right for you.
