Playboy Fortunes Online Slot Machine – Free Play & Review

One of the hot branded slot series from Microgaming, which are based on Playboy and the bunnies that represent it, is making a comeback lately, via slot machines designed by the company’s partners. Playboy Fortunes is a Gameburger release, and a game where we’re seeing fairly tame graphics, at least if we consider what players might be expecting from such a slot machine.

Though highly polished, and you can see the attention to detail inside, the game will also rely on a mix of symbols that focuses way too much on classic images (various Lucky 7s with tiny Playboy bunnies next to them, BARs, cufflinks, keys and cocktails), and not enough on what this brand is known for. As it stands, I think the graphics will prove to be a disappointment for the fans of the magazine.

Developer

The developer that designed Playboy Fortunes for Microgaming, is called Gameburger Studios. They’ve released a few other games lately, which are the result of this partnership, so you will also find exclusive titles like 9 Masks of Fire or 9 Pots of Gold, at Microgaming’s casinos.

How To Play It

You are able to pick the wager for the full game area, and the range for it is from $0.20 to $60. This appears to correspond to a line bet of $0.01 to $3.

As for the game area that becomes active, it has 5×3 reels and 20 paylines, a standard combination by now. You will be forming those winning combinations when 3 or more matching symbols appear on the same line, in consecutive order and from left to right.

Special Features

One of the things that should be noted, is about the way those three variants of the Bunny 7s will combine in any way, to get you paid. You can have a combo with one, two or three types of 7s, on the same line.

Wild Casino Chips are available on all reels, and they can be used in two ways. You either have them as substitutes in regular combinations, or you form wins with them alone, in which case they pay up to to 125x the stake on each line.

The Playboy Logo will be used to trigger the game’s best rewards, and it will be a scatter that can show up on all reels. Depending on the number of symbols of this type, wins of 1x to 2,000x the stake are possible (3 to 9 symbols required). These are the biggest payouts that Playboy Fortunes can deliver, and they come from simple scatters.

If you take a look at the symbol marked with the Free Spins logo, you will find it only on the middle three reels, where it can show up and trigger a spin of a Wheel. The Wheel decides how many free spins you’re getting, along with the multiplier that will be used. You can get up to 30 free spins, along with 3x multipliers. If you get another set of scatters while the free spins are used, the same number of spins/multipliers will be offered.

Maximum Payouts

The game’s top prizes appear to reach 2,000x the stake, which can be paid either via scatter symbols with the Playboy Logo landing 9 times, or by having enough combinations formed with wilds.

Otherwise, it’s worth mentioning the game’s Medium volatility, along with its above average RTP, of 96.24%.

Summary

Playboy Fortunes is looking like a decent enough game, and if it wasn’t a branded release, I wouldn’t have had any particular issues for it. It’s a Playboy themed slot though, and I’m not impressed with the slot machine that Gameburger created for this brand.
