Fantasy Mission Force Slots
Hong Kong martial arts legend, Jackie Chan, has been in over 150 films throughout his career. His resumé includes dozens of Chinese-language action comedies as well as Hollywood breakthrough films like Rush Hour.
If you aren't up on your Jackie Chan back catalog, you might have missed his 1983 martial arts caper, Dragon Attack, aka Fantasy Mission. Originally titled Mi Ni Te Gong Dui, the movie Fantasy Mission tells the story of a Dirty Dozen-style group of soldiers on a rescue mission to bring back four Chinese generals.
While online casino developer RTG (RealTime Gaming) is a big US-facing gambling firm, it also caters for slots players across Asia. It's no wonder, then, that its team have dipped into Jackie Chan's back catalog for this, their latest brand tie-in. The Fantasy Mission Force video slot features various characters from the movie, including Chan himself as Sammy and Hong Kong star Brigitte Lin as Lily.
Like some of RTG's more recent games, this slot offers bonus features galore such as x2 wild multipliers. But is the gameplay as clunky as a Jackie Chan script or will it top the box office? Let's get in our best kung-fu pose and find out.
Play 20 Win Lines From Just 0.01 a Coin
RTG (RealTime Gaming) has built a reputation for no-nonsense online slots and games over the years. You won't find too much in the way of 3D graphics or slick animation in an RTG slot. But what you do get is lots of action and some decent bonus games. Players tend not to find branded titles in RTG's back catalog, but all that has changed with Fantasy Mission Force. And as far as movie-themed slots go, it's not a bad effort.
The free Fantasy Mission Force slot machine is squarely aimed at the martial arts and action film fans. It's played on a set of 3x5 reels and has 20 paylines to bet on. Coins start at just 0.01, but the top bet of 5.00 – or 100.00 with all 20 paylines – caters for all gamblers.
Fantasy Mission Force works through a standard desktop browser, but the instant-play game also runs smoothly in a mobile browser. We found the game worked slightly better in portrait rather than landscape orientation.
Up to 5000x Your Line Bet by Finding Wilds
If you've played a lot of RTG online slot games, you'll know that they usually contain at least one bonus feature. As in the Asian-themed slot Fu Chi, wild symbols also play a significant part in this game. They replace all regular symbols other than the scatters. Not only that, but wilds will double any regular win when one completes a win line.
For regular symbols, players get to see lots of weapons plus images of characters from the film. The telescope and knife pay 5-100x the line bet when you land three to five of a kind. The revolver and crossbow are a little more generous, dishing out 5-200x the line bet. The mortar shells and iron ball complete the low-limit icons, each paying 10-250x.
The high-limits payers in Fantasy Mission Force are all represented by film characters. They all pay out whenever you line up at least two matching symbols on a win line. Jackie Chan as Sammy pays 2-500x the line bet, as does Brigitte Lin's character, Lily. The army commander pays 3-1000x for three to five of a kind, while the Amazon Leader – looking more like a 1970s disco champion – pays the jackpot of 2500x for five of a kind.
Some of those big payouts are decent, but if you can hit a wild or two among the paylines, the jackpots can become absolutely huge.
Win Dynamite Free Spins With a 3x Multiplier
Watch out for the dynamite scatter symbol. It pays a real cash prize wherever it lands on the reels (1x your line bet for two, up to 200x your line bet for five). One scatter on reel 1 plus a wild symbol on reel 5 will activate a free spins round, with the player winning 7 free spins if this is managed. In addition, all free spins wins are trebled.
In essence, the free spins bonus is like the one in Fu Chi, but the feature can be retriggered in that slot. Fu Chi also has a random progressive jackpot which can trigger at any time, unlike this one. While free spins can't be retriggered in Fantasy Mission Force, there is a fun random feature that can activate during your bonus round. The Kaboom! feature will add a dynamite fuse to some of the symbols on the screen. If you get three or more fuses, they will explode and trigger a further 1-3 free spins per fuse that blows.
Stick With RTG for Bonus Free Spins Thrills
What RTG does best is copying its good slot features and replicating them onto other slots. The pirate-themed Goldbeard online slot isn't an exact clone of Fantasy Mission Force, but it comes pretty close. In Goldbeard, the player takes on the role of the dastardly pirate as he goes on some high-seas adventures. There are wilds which double your wins, multipliers on your total bet, and a free spins feature. You can also win one of RTG's random progressive jackpots when you play.
If you prefer to stick with the kung-fu vibe, check out a classic slot based around another martial arts legend. WMS's popular Bruce Lee Dragon's Tale slot deserves to be in a list of the best online slots. There is a free spins bonus round with multipliers galore, but also a unique 4-reel setup where you can play 80 lines at once. The more reel sets you trigger free spins on, the higher your prize multiplier will be. The game is an excellent example of how WMS has become one of the leading slots developers over the decades.
Join Jackie Chan on His Adventures
Fantasy Mission Force is a fun movie-themed slot with some very basic thrills. The game will delight fans of Jackie Chan and free spins bonuses alike, but it's a shame there aren’t any actual scenes from Chan's movies themselves (or their appalling dubbing!).
It's a medium-variance online slot overall, but we found the free spins feature retriggering for us occasionally. Give the Fantasy Mission Force video slot a play for free today, and see what you think.
