Ultra Fortunator: Hold & Win Review
Ultra Fortunator: Hold & Win is the latest in the
Fortunator series from Playson. At⭕️ first glance, there is nothing particularly
outstanding about this game, and you might find yourself wondering if you can even⭕️ be
bothered to play ‘yet another fruit machine’. But hold on! There is a lot more to this
classic Vegas⭕️ style one-armed bandit than meets the eye, and Ultra Fortunator: Hold &
Win proves to be far more fast-paced and⭕️ dynamic than we were expecting.
With 5 reels
and 3 rows, this is a very typical setup for a slot game.⭕️ And with just 10 fixed
paylines, this feels like it's going to be quite a straightforward game. But where this
⭕️ title from Playson really comes alive is with the added extra of the Diamond Reel.
This
is your key to the⭕️ bonus round, where you can land that all-important Mystery Symbol
and potentially pick up one of the 4 different jackpots.⭕️ Not to mention, in the base
game itself there are some pretty high-paying symbols on offer as well, so you⭕️ don't
have to trigger the bonus round in order to walk away with a decent win.
Ultra
Fortunator: Hold & Win⭕️ certainly looks like a typical fruit machine, but the graphics
are particularly crisp and vibrant, giving it a far more⭕️ modern feel than some of the
older and perhaps tired-looking Vegas-style slots. So as you can see, Ultra Fortunator:
Hold⭕️ & Win is a classic fruit machine with a very modern and futuristic
twist.
Design
Being a classic fruit machine, all the⭕️ symbols you would expect are
present and accounted for. As mentioned, the graphics are extremely slick, and we
especially like⭕️ the gold detailing on the BAR and dice symbols, as well as the border
around the game.
Like a lot of⭕️ its predecessors, Ultra Fortunator: Hold & Win has no
real soundtrack in the base game. Instead, you have some cranking⭕️ noises that mimic a
physical fruit machine. This is a bit of a shame, and it feels like Playson missed⭕️ a
trick here with an opportunity to spice up the gameplay a little.
And when you enter
the bonus game, you're⭕️ introduced to an inexplicable backing track of classical
orchestra music that wouldn't be out of place in a tea room.⭕️ A strange option, to say
the least! That said, music aside, this game is still fast-paced, exciting and dynamic.
And⭕️ once the Diamond Reel in the middle gets going, you can look forward to a few more
sound effects as⭕️ you try to land those 3 diamond bonus symbols.
Overall, this is a
good-looking fruit machine that will not win any⭕️ points for original design, but it has
enough special features added in to make it distinguishable from the countless other
⭕️ fruities on the market.
Gameplay
Playing Ultra Fortunator: Hold & Win is not only easy
but extremely fun. What we really like⭕️ about this slot title is that the base game
follows a very classic format, and you will get to grips⭕️ with it in a matter of
seconds. But with the Diamond Reel, bonus game and the possibility of 4 different
⭕️ jackpots all on offer, this will also suit slots fans who are after something a little
extra from their gaming⭕️ session.
If you are a beginner, you can click on the pay table
to find out how to play and how⭕️ each special feature works, but this is not a
complicated slot to master and you’ll be au fait with Ultra⭕️ Fortunator: Hold & Win in
absolutely no time at all.
You can adjust your bet amount at the bottom of the⭕️ screen,
which will also change the jackpot amounts at the top. This means you can always see
what is in⭕️ reach at a glance. There is also the option to adjust some other settings,
and you can't activate the autoplay⭕️ feature if you wish. Just be aware that if you
reside in the UK, autoplay will not be available to⭕️ you.
Win Potential
Usually, fruit
machines are not the most lucrative slot games. But that doesn't seem to be the case
with⭕️ Ultra Fortunator: Hold & Win. With medium to high volatility, you might be waiting
around for a payout for some⭕️ time, but with the 7s paying out up to 100x your stake in
the base game, plus the chance to⭕️ land one of the 4 jackpots in the bonus round, this
game has a lot more potential than many other⭕️ fruities out there.
Unfortunately, the
RTP of this slot is 95.55%, which is a little shy of the 96% average. However,⭕️ that's
not to say that walking away with a decent prize is out of the question at all, and we
⭕️ believe that most players that give this a spin with a decent bet amount will be more
than satisfied with⭕️ the results of Ultra Fortunator: Hold & Win.
Our Verdict
It’s fair
to say that we were very pleasantly surprised by Ultra⭕️ Fortunator: Hold & Win. When
you've been in the iGaming industry as long as we have, you often think you've⭕️ seen it
all, especially when it comes to fruit machines. But Playson has done a great job here
of creating⭕️ a classic and easy-to-play fruit machine with enough special features to
keep even the fussiest slot fan happy.
We love the⭕️ Diamond Reel feature in the base
game, and looking for the vibrant and colourful Mystery Symbol in the bonus round⭕️ will
certainly keep you on your toes.
We feel that the low RTP of 95.55% lets this game down
just a⭕️ touch, but with medium to high volatility and a far greater win potential than
most other similar games on the⭕️ market, Ultra Fortunator: Hold & Win is certainly a
contender for one of our new favourite fruities!
