Fortunate Saloon Slot Machine
Sand between your toes and dust in your hair can only be a sign of one thing: you’re back in the wild west, only this time it’s with MultiSlot. They’ve created Fortunate Saloon, with the hopes it’ll be most fortunate for you and your purse.
The rich tapestry this game has is astounding, we were so mesmerised that we sort of gave the game a firm thumbs up right there and then. Foolish though it is to rush to a conclusion so early on, this 5-reels activity definitely lives up to the hype it instils in its players. Not once during our several playthroughs did we regret clicking to play again.
Get shining up that sheriff badge and put your hat on straight as the cowboys and cowgirls in this saloon only accept a certain type of clientele.
The Hand You’re Dealt
Poker. That’s what you get with the bonus level of this online casino activity. Users won’t actually have to play the classic game, meaning there’s no need to suddenly fire up Google to help you with instructions. Instead you’ll be sat at a table with many other players, the sheriff at the head of it all; click him and he’ll deal you a hand.
As he’s a good ‘un, the hand will always be a winner of some kind, however luck determines whether the cards give you a big prize or a little one. Your five cards will be turned over when passed to you, with the level of your win shown to you while the coins roll in - we won’t list every outcome as there’s quite a few, but we’ll highlight the highest and lowest. If you get only a pair you’ll get a payout of 40 credits, but if you get a royal flush you’ll be walking away from the table 300 coins richer.
It’s a charming bonus, filled with amusement and suspense as you wait for your win to be counted up and added to the total; well done, MultiSlot. This was exceptional, and it looked fantastic!
Crossed Guns
Getting your knickers in a twist isn’t nearly as awkward or as painful as getting your guns all twisted up; the scatter symbol in Fortunate Saloon may be all about guns but it has nothing to do with shooting.
As is the norm, players can hope to find between three and five of the symbol, with five being the target that everyone wants in their sights. Depending on how many you uncover, you’ll be given 5, 15 or 50 extra spins to enjoy before you return to reality and start spending your own euros again.
All the while the reels are plodding along, a counter will come up to let you know how many games you have left, and a display will list any winnings you’ve made. There is nothing hidden along the reels or tucked away, and so this is a straightforward but pleasant round to savour.
Pay up or Get Out!
In Fortunate Saloon you have to set both the coin amount and how many of them you want to bet per line, and in case you’re so curious there are 25 lines. The value of the coins can only be from 0.05 up to 1 credit, a very small window in which to operate, meaning a lot of players can afford the cost.
The concern with potentially over spending comes when you stake the number of coins you want: you can between 1 and 5. Imagine 5 coins on every single line valued at 1 credit, that would leave you with a final stake worth 125. Always make sure to double check before you spin.
What did sadden us while playing was discovering that there’s no autospin option available – oh the humanity of it all! Autoplay widgets are invaluable tools and any slot machine that doesn’t have one makes us wince in pain, but we let this one go as the rest of the title is above par. If this had been a low quality game the lack of an automatic spin feature would have been the final straw; we would have signed off and gone elsewhere.
The Sun Sets on Another Saloon
There must always be an end point with games and slot machines are no different, but with Fortunate Saloon you can relive the glory by either betting again or opting for the demo mode. Sticking with the demo isn’t too bad an experience once you’ve sampled the goods, though you’ll be disappointed when you get a winning line and receive pretend money. That blows.
Fortunate Saloon is an ace title, one that does MultiSlot proud. A definite winner and a must play title for anyone who discovers it.
