Lord Fortune 2: Hold & Win

By Matthew Kennedy | Updated 4 March 2024

Lord Fortune 2: Hold & Win is the latest release from developer Booongo, and the sequel to Lord Fortune: Hold and Win released only 8 months previous. Features include scatters, wilds, free spins a Grand Jackpot worth 5,000x of your bet.

About Lord Fortune 2: Hold & Win

Optimised for play across all devices, Lord Fortune 2: Hold & Win has 5 reels with 25 winning ways, with bets ranging from 25p up to £30 per spin. Expect medium to high volatility and an RTP of 95%.Inspired by Asian culture, the design remains much the same as the original except the reels sit on a blue background. Symbols are the low value J-Ace royal cards, a treasure chest, an old man, a scroll, and a Japanese lady, the latter is worth x6 of 5 matching symbols.The wild is Lord Fortune and he substitutes all symbols barring the bell scatter and the bonus symbol.

Gameplay

Landing 3 bell scatters awards 8 free spins. You now get Power Wilds, these are multiplier versions of the wild and if more than one forms part of a winning combination the values are multiplied together. Landing 3 or more scatters awards an extra 4 free spins.6 or more bonus pearls on a spin triggers the bonus game awarding 6 respins. The bonus symbols all have values attached and lock in place for the duration of the respins. Additional collect or super collect symbols may appear and if they do, they gather prizes from the bonus symbols. The feature ends when the respins are used, all values are then added up and paid out. Fill all fifteen positions with bonus symbols and you’ll collect the Grand Jackpot worth x5,000 the bet.The bonus buy awards instant access to the free spins or bonus game at a cost of x50 the bet, but this option is not available in some jurisdictions.

Verdict

Lord Fortune 2: Hold & Win comes with an upgraded Hold and win feature, but I feel that they could have done more. The visuals are excellent, but there’s nothing new in terms of gameplay which is disappointing.
