Slot Art & Symbols
The Fortune Hearts pokie takes its imagery from Chinese symbols of luck and wealth. The Lucky Cat, a maneki-neko figure, is the top-paying picture, followed by the Dragon Turtle, Pig, Money Tree and Money Bag.
Card ranks A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 fill the lower tier. A gold ingot serves as the Scatter, and the HERO, a crowned God of Fortune in a red robe, doubles as the Wild. Hearts are the feature symbols.
Action Stacked Symbols in the Base Game
Before each spin starts, a group of adjacent positions on every reel is swapped for one randomly chosen symbol. All replaced positions on that reel show the same symbol. When stacks of one symbol line up on neighbouring reels, a single spin can cover several of the 30 fixed paylines at once.
During Free Games the same stacks can also carry a multiplier.
Fortune Hearts Pokie Bonus Games
In the Fortune Hearts game, gold ingot Scatters start Free Games and Hearts start the Fortune Hearts Feature.
Free Games with 2x, 3x and 5x Stacks
Three gold ingot Scatters award 5 Free Games, four award 15 and five award 30. Scatters keep counting during the round, where 2, 3, 4 or 5 of them add +3, +5, +15 or +30 Free Games.
| Scatters | Trigger (base game) | Retrigger (during Free Games) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | – | +3 |
| 3 | 5 | +5 |
| 4 | 15 | +15 |
| 5 | 30 | +30 |
At the start of every free spin, the stacked symbols on 1 or 2 reels pick up a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier. Every stack on that reel gets the same value, and a multiplied symbol in a winning line multiplies that line's pay by it. The feature uses its own reel strips, and the bet and lines carry over from the triggering spin.
More Hearts land during Free Games than in the base game, and any 5 or more Hearts trigger the Fortune Hearts Feature in the round.
Heart Triggers: HERO or DEVIL
In the base game, 6 or more Hearts start the Fortune Hearts Feature with the HERO every time. 1–5 Hearts can still wake the DEVIL, and that entry is random.
Once the feature starts, a random reel array appears and 3 Bonus Spins are awarded.
Top Screen Credit Collection
During the Bonus Spins, every Heart that lands on reels 2–4 reveals a credit prize. The prize is collected onto a top screen with 12 positions, where credit prizes accumulate. A Heart collected into an empty position resets the Bonus Spins to 3.
| Jackpot | How it is won |
|---|---|
| Mega Jackpot | Revealed on a Heart landing on reels 2–4 |
| Grand Jackpot | All 12 positions on the top screen filled |
Reel 1 Multipliers & MINI/MAJOR/MAXI Power-Ups
Inside the Fortune Hearts Feature, reel 1 works as a column of boosters. Any x2, x3 or x5 multiplier and any MINI, MAJOR or MAXI power-up that lands there sticks for the rest of the feature.
Credit prizes on the same row activate those bonuses and multipliers, which then power up the credit prizes of that row. The earlier a multiplier sticks, the more Bonus Spins it has to boost its row.
Fortune Hearts Symbol Payouts in AUD
Line wins on the Fortune Hearts slot pay from the leftmost reel to the right on adjacent reels. Only the highest win on each line pays, and wins on different lines are added together.
The Scatter pays in any position, and its win is added to line wins. Every amount in the paytable is calculated at the maximum stake of A$6.00.
| Symbol | 5 of a kind | 4 of a kind | 3 of a kind | 2 of a kind |
