Tarot Fortune is a slot machine created by IGT, where the tarot card game is the star. It’s an elegant design, with beautiful women part of many of its symbols, with playing cards that seem more at home here than in many other titles and with progressive jackpots sweetening the deal. The Tarot theme will seem fascinating to some and fake to others, but that just makes it more fun to the people that do enjoy it.
Part of Tarot Fortune you will find that there are free spins rounds, fortune wheel bonus games, scatters and wilds. These are all great, but what you’re wondering is probably about the value of its jackpots, and it does quite well in that area as well. It has a progressive jackpot that offers around $300,000 in average, plus its own payouts of up to $500. The slot has 5 reels with 15 lines.
Features of Tarot Fortune
With wild symbols, scatters and free spins all part of Tarot Fortune, you should find this an interesting game to play, even if the theme doesn’t agree with you.
The Boy is a symbol that has the Sun around him. It will be the one that acts as the wild feature in Tarot Fortune. The substitution power of a wild is the same in most games, but in some cases there are some extras attached to it. It doesn’t seem to be the case here though, so you can just expect the usual substitution for another symbol when the position of the wild is the right one. The Magician scatter can’t use a wild to complete its combinations.
The Magician, the game’s second important feature, is used in the role of a scatter. The scatter’s name comes from its ability to appear in random positions and still award the prizes it has attached. It doesn’t need to appear on consecutive reels or on certain paylines, it just needs to be present enough times. With a minimum of three, and a maximum of five scatters, you will receive 10x to 50x the triggering bet, as a prize.
Free Spins Feature
The prizes don’t stop at the scatter’s rewards though. In addition to the cash payout, you also receive 5 to 15 free games, depending on the number of triggering scatters. You can’t retrigger this feature unfortunately.
Fortune Wheel Bonus
The third and final feature available inside, the Fortune Wheel symbol gets you access to its own bonus game. The requirement is for this symbol to appear only once, on the first reel of the game, and at the same time for it to be on an active line. It’s a simple game, with a fortune wheel that gives you a multiplier to be applied to the triggering bet. It’s an extra way to win a prize, and I can always use more prizes, so I’m happy about it being included.
Betting options and jackpots
You will find a total of 15 paylines in Tarot Fortune. In each case, you get to use only one coin, and its value starts at $0.10 and reaches $1. The wagers of up to $15 that are allowed in Tarot Fortune are low enough that most people can afford playing this slot.
The slot’s own payouts are a bit embarrassing to be honest, with $500 being the most you can get out of it during the regular gameplay. Its progressive jackpot is a lot more impressive, with the average value when it’s won being around the $300,000 mark.
Design and symbols
The Tarot Fortune theme revolves around various characters from the cards of this card game, and even though I couldn’t tell you what their appearance means, I can still recommend it as an interesting slot machine. Its graphics have a certain elegance to them, one of the reasons being the presence of quite a few pretty women in its symbols. The playing cards look interesting as well, with all sorts of decorations placed behind them.
Symbols: The Boy (wild, progressive jackpot), The Magician (scatter, 50x the triggering wager), Fortune Wheel (bonus), The World (500 coins), The Moon (250 coins), The Empress (125 coins), Ace (25 coins), King (12 coins) and Queen (8 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
It’s not going to be a theme that everyone loves, and that’s due both to the fortune teller theme and the low payouts, but on the other hand you get access to a huge progressive jackpot without placing high wagers and you get a generous amount of features along the way.
The Tarot Fortune slot machine is offered through the IGT platform, so if you want to play it for real or just to practice, look out for casinos that use it.
