Page of Fortune Deluxe Slot
For a mystical slot experience from the team at Zeus Gaming, why not try out Page of Fortune – a 5 reel, 10 adjustable payline title that features wilds, a scatter symbol and a 5,000x regular jackpot.
Undoubtedly one of the more graphically impressive titles from the veteran software providers, Page of Fortune takes its inspiration from the fairytale books of your childhood, with castles, princesses and wizards featuring on its reels to create something of a mystical ambience throughout.
The game features a bonus round that awards 10 free spins and also radically alters the gaming dynamic (but more on that later) and is also relatively low variance, making it the perfect slot for players who like a bit of entertainment value but not at the expense of prohibitive payout odds.
Child’s Play
While Page of Fortune is a tiny bit fiddlier to get to grips with than some of the more basic Zeus Gaming titles like Magic Charm, players who are used to tackling online slots certainly won’t find anything daunting in the basic mechanics of the game. Two buttons help you adjust the number of lines you wish to play and how much you want to wager on each, while the spin button on the right gets things started.
With a maximum of 10 paylines and 30 coins per line being the biggest total bet, the most a spin on Page of Fortune will cost you is 300 coins, while regular payouts vary from 5x your stake for matching three lower value icons (or two high value icons) to 5,000x your stake for five princesses.
The game’s wild symbol can be substituted for any regular icon to create winning paylines and also doubles as the scatter symbol too, meaning that if you find three or more anywhere across the 5 reels, you’ll not only earn an instant cash payout, but also trigger 10 free spins in the bonus feature.
Picture Perfect
It’s probably fair to say that the graphics in Page of Fortune are a little bit more sophisticated than some of the other slots in the Zeus Gaming catalogue, and this goes a long way to creating a magical atmosphere that is more engrossing for the player. As mentioned previously, the symbols all relate to fairytale imagery, with the wild symbol taking this a step further by being a leather-bound book.
When the bonus feature is triggered, an animated sequence begins that sees this book open up and reveal an extra wild symbol while magic words are spoken in an unknown tongue – and it’s little touches like this that give Page of Fortune the added detail to compete with more modern slot titles.
Unusually for a Zeus gaming title, Page of Fortune also features background ambience throughout, with birdsong and various mystical sounds making way for traditional slot music whenever the reels are spun. The bonus round also features its own music, making it stand out from the regular game.
The Stuff Of Legend
Speaking of the bonus round, this is perhaps the biggest draw of Page of Fortune and is also incredibly easy to trigger. In order to activate it, players need simply find three magic book icons on any of the game’s 5 reels and they’ll be whisked away to a cut scene and awarded 10 free spins.
During these bonus spins, a regular symbol will be transformed at random into an expanding wild, meaning that whenever three or more appear anywhere on the gameboard, they’ll grow to fill the entire reel and create multiple winning paylines. Using this feature, it is not uncommon for 80% of the gameboard to become wild, meaning players can expect to chain together some big combos.
The bonus feature can also be reactivated during free spins by finding three more book symbols anywhere on the 5 reels, meaning you can essentially stay in free spin mode for quite some time.
Turning Over A New Page
Page of Fortune goes above and beyond the strong standards already set by Zeus Gaming to provide a genuinely engrossing slot experience that is both great fun and rewarding to play. There are a number of graphical and musical flourishes that mark the game out as a unique title and the bonus feature is rewarding enough that you’ll always want to keep playing and re-open that magic book.
