Sun of Fortune Review

There is plenty of variety in Wazdan’s ever-growing Hold the Jackpot saga, and they mix up the themes quite evenly between western and asian style gaming. Sun of Fortune is a purebred case of the latter, and the reels are filled with ornamented golden fish, turtles, birds and dragons. You can choose your own preferred volatility (low, standard or high) and pace, as usual, and non-UK players can pay 70x the stake to get the Hold the Jackpot bonus round directly from the in-game menu.

Everything plays out on a 4x4 grid with a red, chinese-style carpet backdrop, and landing at least 8 matching symbols anywhere is a win. The base game is as bare bones as they come, except for the sticky bonus symbols respins feature that might lead to the Hold the Jackpot bonus game. The feature is a straight forward hold-and-win style bonus that awards a Grand Jackpot worth 1,000x your stake when you fill the grid.

Sun of Fortune Slot Features

The Wild symbol steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combinations, and it holds no value of its own. You win by landing 8 to 16 matching symbols anywhere on the 4x4 grid, and the premiums pay between 40 and 200 x your stake when you fill the grid with matching symbols.

The Hold the Jackpot feature is triggered when you land 6+ sun Bonus symbols anywhere in view, and landing 3 to 5 triggers a sticky bonus symbol respin feature. This feature can help trigger the Hold the Jackpot bonus game, and the triggering bonus symbols become sticky on an otherwise cleared 4x4 grid.

You are granted 3 respins, and each new sticky sun/bonus symbol you land resets the respins tally to 3 again.

The sun/bonus symbols come with values ranging from 1x to 10x, as well as occasional 12x and 15x symbols. You can also land Mini, Minor and Major jackpot sun symbols during the feature, and these are worth 20, 50 and 150 x your stake, respectively.

You can land more than one instance of the smaller jackpots, and the Grand Jackpot worth 1,000x your stake is won by filling the 4x4 grid with sticky sun/bonus and/or jackpot symbols. The 1,000x prize is paid in addition to whatever else you’ve racked up, and the feature also ends if you run out of respins. Either way, your total win is summed up, and you can choose to gamble it in a double or nothing card guess game, if you wish.

Review Summary

If you’re into simple, straight-forward asian-style gameplay, Sun of Fortune might be something to consider.

It will hardly be for all players however, and there are better alternatives for western punters in Wazdan’s Hold the Jackpot range. That being said, the pace is excellent with the turbo maxed out, and it’s a joy to be able to plow through a plenitude of spins in a rapid tempo all the way to the Hold the Jackpot feature.

Being able to choose your own volatility is also a neat feature, but there isn’t all that much going on in the base game except for the possibility of winning up to 200x your stake. The Hold the Jackpot feature is rather simple as well, awarding nothing but cash coins and/or smaller jackpots unless you actually manage to fill the grid. The 1,000x Grand Jackpot is not as impressive as what’s on offer in other installments, and the same goes for the mediocre 1,450x overall potential.

Pros

• Simple ‘win anywhere’ gameplay
• Hold the Jackpot w/ 1,000x jackpot
• Overall 1,450x your stake max win

Cons

• No real features in the base game
