The Fortune Lounge slot is something of a rarity - you won't find this one just anywhere, even though it was developed by none other than Microgaming. That's because it's a custom-designed slot game, commissioned by the casino group Fortune Lounge, so to find it you'll need to play at Fortune Lounge itself, or at one of the other casinos that they own.
Down to the nitty-gritty, then. The game has five reels, it pays out on 9 lines, and it takes a maximum of 45 coins. Those coins can be anything between $0.01 and $2.
Given that the game was designed to celebrate the Fortune Lounge group, it's not surprising that the imagery used on the reels represents each of the casino brands that Fortune Lounge owns. You can expect to see the logos of the Desert Dollar, the Royal Vegas, the Seven Sultans, Platinum Play, and the Vegas Palms.
The rest of the symbols of the game uses are made up of high cards for poker hands.
Today's discerning slot player expects a Wild symbol, and you'll get one - the Fortune Lounge logo is wild, and can be used to complete almost any winning combination. In fact, the logo is also multiplier: any combination that it completes will have its payout doubled.
The only symbol that the wild symbol can't substitute for is the Scatter symbol, which in this game is represented by the Players Club logo. You need a minimum of three scatter symbols to win, but they can appear anywhere on the reels.
Three or more scatter symbols wins you 15 free spins. The free spins stack, so if you clock more scatter symbols during your free spins, you'll get 15 more added on top.
For me the best feature of this slot is the bonus game, triggered by a win on an activated pay line. It's a game of chance where you try to predict suits or colours.
Get the colour right, and the payout is doubled. Get the suit right and your winnings are quadrupled.
The risk is that if you get it wrong, you lose everything. For this reason the bonus game isn't mandatory - you can opt out if you want to. But where's the fun in that?
