About the slot

Boat of Fortune is a 5 reel, 4row video slot with 88 paylines, it has a medium variance with an RTP of 96.02%. Wagering starts from 88p to £44 per spin and it can be played across all devices.The game opens up with sailors on a boat which has a lion head at the front trying to navigate the rough seas. The reels are encased in red and gold frame and symbols are the 9 to the Ace royals, gold coins, a gold koi, a tea set, money bags and a map. The wild symbol is the drum and it can substitute all others bar the scatter dragon symbol.

Gameplay

Boat of Fortune uses the rolling reels mechanic in which all winning symbols will be removed from the reels and new symbols will fall into place.Wild symbols will appear as stacked symbols but can grow as much as 15 symbols high if they appear when the free spins feature has been triggered.Landing 3 or more scatter symbols in view on the will activate the free spins feature and you will be awarded with 8 free spins with the rolling reels and growing wilds in play.Boat of Fortune is a captivating game and easy to play but is just like so many other game, the graphics are nothing out of the ordinary. The payouts could have been a bit higher and I feel it would have done better with a few extra features or modifiers added. The most that you can potentially win is x1,785 of your wager.
