Three Star Fortune (Pragmatic Play) slot review

The Oriental-themed Three Star Fortune slot by Pragmatic Play is friendly, smooth and fast-paced

Many (of course, not all!) Asians, and especially Chinese, love speed and efficiency. They are usually more interested in wins than in gameplay and features.

With this slot, Pragmatic Play managed to find a pragmatic solution for that target group. And indeed, you can do business, very quickly.

Moreover, there’s room for some fantastic wins.

The maximum win on Three Star Fortune is a lovely 2,000x the bet.

Well, I guess that’s something that gets you standing up! Imagine, if you bet 100 and manage to bag 200 grand.

Ni Hao!

Three Star Fortune slot – Gameplay and Features

Three Star Fortune has 10 fixed paylines and the usual 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols.

You get winning combos from left to right, but also from right to left. It’s win both ways.

It’s very entertaining if you spin a 5-of-a-kind. In that case, you’ll get double payouts. If you do this with the 5 golden Chinese hats (gold ingots), you’ll get 500x the bet!

The other premium symbols are a Chinese tropical fruit (Litchi fruit), Chinese parchment and a kind of a vase.

It’s all about the 3 Chinese gods Fu, Lu and Shou.

The gods starring in this slot are Fortune (Fu), Prosperity (Lu), and Longevity (Shou). They stand for wealth, happiness and durability.

These gods are stacked wilds that may appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. As the win both ways mechanism is active, you have excellent odds for winning combos.

If you spin a stacked wild, you get a free re-spin. What’s better, the stacked wilds become sticky. If you manage to re-spin another wild (on another reel), you get another free re-spin.

As there are three stacked wilds, you can get up to 3 free re-spins.

If you succeed in spinning a screen full of 5 golden ingots/wilds, you’ll get 500x the bet. Should you manage to do the same in the three following re-spins, you will collect the maximum win of 2,000x!

Payout percentage (RTP)

The theoretical payout percentage of Three Star Fortune is 96.27%. No reason to complain.

Three Star Fortune slot – high variance

Pragmatic Play indicates that the variance of Three Star Fortune is “high” (score is 5 out of 5).

Most top wins will be around 500 to 1,000x the bet. As the maximum win is limited to 2,000x the bet, I expect quite a few of the higher wins here.

So that’s good news!

Pros and Cons

Advantages:

• The gameplay is fast and easy.
• Graphically it looks fantastic.
• Good odds for some very decent wins.

Disadvantages:

• In terms of gameplay and features, it’s a bit shy.
• The slot is volatile. So you’re playing with risk.

So, who will like the slot? And who won’t?

This slot is suitable for players who are in a hurry and are more interested in the wins than in gameplay.

Not everybody prefers those complicated slots with all kinds of features and free spins variants.

Fortunately, this Pragmatic Play slot has more depth than two of their latest releases: Hot to Burn and Ultra Burn.
