Small Fortune

There’s no little things when you play online slots, that’s what I learned for playing a variety of slots most people will think that they are all alike but in reality, they’re not. Not all machines are the same and there’s a fortune for every slot! Mentioning the slot varieties the slot of Small Fortune a 5 reel 25 pay line slot can bring you a new picnic perspective what I mean even a name of slots has different secret meanings. Not because of its literal meaning, small like ants but because of the well reasonable gameplay of this slot!

The betting size was instant and you just need to click the up and down arrow to make you bet easier but I hate to say this even if the minimum bet was $0.25 for my playing the only right decision I made was to upsize my bet to $1. I will tell you my playing of minimum bet and it was catastrophic, for there is a one bonus feature that I can get and this was free spins. While getting my way from my bonus wagering and leaving the slot in auto play minutes later I saw that my balance bonus went $90+ from $300!

I never thought of that Small fortune will eat my balance that fast, and what I did next was delectable. I manually spin the reels and increase the size $1 I saw that a bunch of wilds as the ants and got good free spins from the scatter as girl symbol. Pretty good stuff if you will ask because there are slots like this that will end your bankroll dry for just betting a minimum size bet.

Winnings from free spins can sometimes wither and it needs a higher bet to make the payout more satisfying. The minor and major jackpots are poor to trigger and I don’t experience at least one of it since I have played Small fortune.

Yes now after I played the Small Fortune slot in RTG I was clear in a matter. The newer RTG slots are somewhat better in the sense that if the very old slots here deserved a rating of 4-5 stars from 10 maximum, the newer slots deserve an average rate of 6-7 stars from 10 maximum. I mean neither the new slots are extraordinary, but at least they represent a step forward for a gaming platform from a longer time ago obsolete, that needs also occasionally to change not to go bankrupt (like it was not enough that 90% of RTG casinos have just 2 stars rating).

Anyway “Small Fortune” is a slot that has a few better parts. In what it concerns its appearance the slot is a delight, one need to recognize. It somewhat resembles the “Easter Feast” a slot that charmed us all with the occasion of the past Easter this year (2014). After all here the story is also about a picnic and the symbols describe this event in the nature: sandwiches, muffins, slices of cake, glasses of soft drinks, etc. The free spins are triggered by an oddest combination of symbols: at least two Wilds on reels 1 and 5 and at least one basket picnic on reels 2, 3 or 4 (each basket gives 5 Free Spins). The slot has a big variance, but unlike playing at old RTG slots (where big variance only means that one lose all the money much faster) here sometimes you will found yourself into win. These high wins have just one source: the Free Spins that are triggered quite often and even more often they are retriggered. I had a round of Free Spins that was retriggered 6 times in a row from which I won about 32 dollars. It is true I also had Free Spins rounds with just 5 spins from which I won only about 1.5 dollars, but in total I lost only about 5 dollars for every hundred spins played.

The slot unfortunately keeps some of the negative parts classic for RTG. On the overall the game is easy and because the presentation of the slot is good and sometimes you are in advantage, in my opinion this is a slot of 6-7 “stars” of 10, about the same as 50% of all slots that I have played so far in most casinos.

The old negative parts from RTG are the payouts smaller than the bet paid in 80% of the cases. And because the bet is only 25 cents, there are payouts as low as 5 cents. Only the “4 of a kind” combinations pay 1-2 dollars, but this combinations are found just once about 50-100 spins played. The payouts for “5 of a kind” are 5-12.5 dollars but they are like nonexistent here (in 300 spins I never had “5 of a kind”).

Small fortune video slot created by real time gaming software, and it is not my type of slot, i am play it couple of times and after it already long time i did not touch it, hope you understand why from my review.
This game has 25 paylines, and this is typical thing for real time gaming video slots that there is something special with a wilds. They appear stacked on reels 1 and 5 and have doubling wins if substitute. Interesting and pity fact that scatters here did not trigger any feature, and simply award some cash, 4 scatters award 25 x total bet, and 5 scatters award x 250 total bet, so i suggest you to get 5 scatters, really. To trigger freespins feature played need to get at least one wild on reel 1 and 5, plus on middle reels should be picnic basket. For every picnic basket player awarded by 5 freespins, and every wild in triggering feature bet awards +1 multiplier, so best combination is 15 freespins with x 6 multiplier, best i managed to have was 10 freespins with x 4 multiplier, which pay me something like x 70 total bet. In base game i never had win more than 25 x total bet. So i can say that payouts on this game is low, and it is hard to get some decent win, only 5 scatters here have good payout, but of course it is hard job to get 5 scatters on this game. I did not like this game for this.
Low variance game with hard to trigger feature, and this feature not interesting and most likely will not pay even x 100 total bet. I will not play this game again, and think that there is no fans or players who really love to play this game. If only you have a dream that you win random jackpot on this game. real time gaming has much more better games in portfolio.
